Acer Aspire One 522 Breaks Cover With AMD Fusion Processor Inside

It looks like Intel’s Atom cpu may be living its final days inside Acer’s new line of netbook devices – At least when it comes to the company’s Aspire One 522, a 10.1-incher that packs a 720p screen display along with an AMD Fusion flavor, or to be more specific, a 1GHz AMD C-50 Ontario APU. That’s right fellows, Acer’s new netbook series is presumably pumped up with AMD’s powerful Fusion processors. Now that’s a breath of fresh air, isn’t it? But don’t you get too excited in here, because it’s not available for purchase Stateside, at least not at the moment, and the rest of the specs are mostly your standard netbook, which means the ordinary webcam, paired with 802.11 b/g/n WiFi connectivity, 3 x USB ports, a VGA output, 500GB HDD, a 6-cell battery and an HDMI input. Still interested? Make sure you’re willing to shell out 12,829 baht (or $425) at one of Thai’s popular e-tailers.

Update: And looks like Acer’s latest and greatest Aspire One 522 netbook with AMD Ontario CPU on board just showed up on Amazon for $329.99 that will also buy you Radeon HD 6250 graphics, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, HDMI out, Windows 7 Starter OS, and a 4400mAh battery pack. Pretty cool, isn’t it? Well, considering the fact it’s a 10-incher device we shouldn’t expect more. In any case, the shipping shouldn’t take that long.

Acer Aspire One D255 Netbook Introduced, Intel’s Latest Dual-Core Atom N550 CPU Included

1 Comment

It wasn’t that long ago when we all read and saw Acer’s revamped netbooks lineup popping out at Computex in the form of the Aspire One D260. And given the fact nothing has changed dramatically since then, the new and recently announced version, Aspire One D255, is not much of a difference. And while most specs seem pretty much the same (1GB of RAM, 250GB hard drive and six-cell battery), the processor itself was slightly upgraded to Intel’s new dual-core Atom N550 CPU, as the external design has apparently received some minor changes around the chassis, leaving both the chrome flavor and glass splitter elements out of the room. Still no word about price and availability at this point, so stay tuned until they arrive.

Update1: And just in case you were curious to learn more about the new D255 netbook, mind you a 6-cell battery device, running both Android and XP flavors inside will cost you NT$11,900 (about $375) when this thing goes live sometime this summer.

Update2: The good guys at NetbookNews have managed to put their hands on one of Acer’s early dual-booting (Android 2.1 and Windows XP) Aspire One D255 versions, and  were kind enough to share their long in-depth video with us, right after the break.

Update3: The latest official and unofficial news indicate that Acer is likely to continue carrying forward its most aggressive pricing strategy by offering its most recent 10.1-inch D255 netbook at no cost – only 329.99 US Dollars. Competitive pricetag, isn’t it? Well, consider the latest and greatest hardware addition which comes in the form of Intel’s Atom N550 dual-core processor, we can definitely say so. Full PR after the break.

Aspire One is one of the top selling netbooks around the globe, thanks to the nice minuscule design and the impressive 8.9-inch display, coming with a reasonable keyboard, a fair 120/160GB hard drive and some other alluring specs which make it so likable. Having said that, it seems Acer won’t settle down until a 10-inch version will be released, and while speaking, the guys at jkkmobile have managed to put their hands on Acer’s next generation netbook, carrying the name 103 and packing a 10.1-inch display, Intel Atom 1.6 Ghz N280/N270 CPU, 1GB of Ram, 160 Gb HDD, Multitouch trackpad, Bluetooth/Wifi connectivity, SDHC card reader, 1.3MP webcam, Windows XP OS, and built-in 3G capabilities (Optional).
