New netbook from Acer

David Allen — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 04:20:54 +0000

Acer have produced many ten inch netbooks over the past couple of years and every time there are subtle changes in looks and performance, so when the company announce that they are launching the Acer Aspire One D257 we expect to hear about the specs, but Acer are keeping the specs close to the chest on this occasion. So we will have to go with what we know, so far the D257 appears to be thinner and lighter than any netbook in the current Acer range. It has a new style start button and will dual boot Windows 7 Starter Edition and Google’s Android operating system, although this is not a new feature. There is a video on YouTube that gives a quick walk around. Acer claim that the battery will allow up to eight hours of use on a single charge, it will come with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, will have around three USB, VGA and Ethernet ports. The D257 will also come with a choice of colour, these are; aquamarine, dark chocolate, or seashell white. As for the full details, we await on Acer to release them in due course.

Review of the Acer Aspire 6920G 16-inch Laptop

David Allen — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 13:00:01 +0000

The maker Acer talks about colour being the key to expression and this Aspire comes in blue, which is supposed to be the one that matches the distinctive style of the owner and not the machine. Of course, colour does not make the machine any better; it just makes it look nice. This machine is one of the best that Acer has to offer and is a leader in the mini laptop sector too. This is a very desirable computer that should be at the top of the list for anyone who is looking for a nice travelling companion.

Music can break your Aspire One

David Allen — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:00:17 +0000
