Acer not phasing out Netbooks

David Allen — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 08:00:19 +0000

For a moment the competition were feeling a bit of relief when report were going around that Acer were going to be phasing out all of their netbooks in favour of tablets. However, the company have issued a statement that completely denies that they are thinking about this action. In fact it seems that Acer will not be even be launching any new tablets with the latest Sandy Bridge platform from Intel, so it seems that for now at least netbooks will definitely be on the Acer Menu! “Acer recognises that the computer market is changing: As PCs are no longer used to only create content but are more and more becoming consumption tools, new devices and new form factors are appearing,” the manufacturer said in a statement. “This means the range of devices available to users is getting wider and tablets are just another piece of the mosaic. Therefore they will find their space next to netbooks and notebooks, without taking over.” Source [Eee PC] a acer, Acer Aspire Netbooks, netbooks, New Netbooks, Tablets

Acer has an impressive range of kit available, but the Aspire 1410 never seemed to live up to our expectations this was probably down to the fact that it struggled with heavy jobs such as playing back HD video.

This Android powered laptop from Acer has been kicking around for a long while and still we have to wait to hear what is really going to be happening inside this netbook, sure, it has Android, but it means nothing really, because this is going to be a duel boot machine. So of course, there will be those fans of Android that will celebrate the fact that they have an Acer powered by Android, but it’s an open source powered netbook that has no price reduction, ordinarily if you chose open source then it is going to be cheaper. However, this is cunningly provided with Windows XP and so you have to pay around $350! Source [Gizmodo] a Acer Aspire Netbooks, acer launch android netbook, android power
