Acer Aspire One D250 Review Roundup

The Acer Aspire One D250 is the latest 10-inch netbook from Acer. It comes with the same internal specs as its predecessor, the Aspire One D150, but fits into a slimmer and lighter case.

Here's a quick rundown for the Acer Aspire One D250 specs:

• 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display
• 1.6-GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU
• 1GB RAM (upgradable to 2GB)
• 160GB 5,400 rpm Hard Drive
• Microsoft Windows XP Home (SP3)
  

Laptop Magazine, Liliputing, and PC Mag have each made their own reviews on the Aspire One d250, and all of them rated this netbook quite high. According to Laptop Magazine, the Acer Aspire One D250 provided fairly decent performance, and garnered nearly the exact same scores in every department as the D150, which is expected since it comes with an identical internal specs with its predecessor. Joe on Liliputing actually tried watching an episode of Lost in HD at ABC.com and was pleasantly surprised to find it running smoothly all the way after a few moments of stuttering at the beginning.

Measuring 10.2 x 7.2 x 1 inches and weight 2.8 pounds (with a 6-cell battery), the Acer Aspire One D250 is very thin and light, almost identical to the ASUS Eee PC 1008HA, but does not look as stylish. The keyboard and touchpad for the Aspire One D250 is the biggest complaint which all of the reviews above find them be too small. Other than that, the rest of the functions are exceptionally well put together: three USB ports, VGA, Ethernet, a 4-in-1 memory card slot, headphone and mic ports, and a 0.3-megapixel webcam.

The most attractive part of this netbook is the price. While some manufacturers increase prices following a design update, Acer has kept the price steady on the Aspire One. As of now, you can get an Aspire One D250 with 6-cell battery for $345.99, and a 3-cell D250 for $295.99 on Amazon.com.

The final verdict: The Acer Aspire One D250 is not the best netbook in the market, but it offers great value for the money you are paying for. It's one of the most affordable netbook on the market and still offer great performance.

Acer Aspire One AO751H Quick Review Roundup

Acer has recently launched the Aspire One AOH751H, which is the very first netbook in the market that comes with an 11.6-inch screen. The other main internal part of this netbook are: an Intel Atom Z520 Processor, 1 GB of RAM, and 160GB hard drive.

According to Acer Senior Product Manager, Ray Sawall, the major complains that people have for a 10-inch netbook, is that the keyboard and screen size are too small for typing and surfing the Internet. The 11 inch Acer Aspire One AOH751H is designed to overcome these problems.

While the Aspire One AO751H is yet to be released, Gadgetmix has already done a quick review on this netbook. They complemented this netbook for its high-resolution display (1366 x 768 pixel), full-size keyboard, great battery life, and multi-touch touchpad. Also, the Aspire One AO751H is pretty thin and light compare to the popular Eee PC 1000HE from Asus. On the negative side however, the Acer Aspire One AO751H is found to have a slow boot up time, and slightly slower performance compare to other netbooks with N270 processor.

We have also spotted a few video reviews for the Acer Aspire One AO751H on YouTube. On the third video below, you will find that the Aspire One AO751H doesn't seem to run well under Vista.

Acer And Asus To Release 11.6-inch Netbook

Acer Germany has recently listed a new 11.6-inch netbook model called the Aspire One 751 on their website. The netbooks is equiped with an Intel Atom Z520 processor paired with a US15WExpress Chipset, 2GB RAM, LED-backlit 200-nit WXGA display with 1366×768 resolution, Wi-Fi b/g and an optional Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and triband UMTS/HSPA WWAN. While there's no words on when this netbook will be made available in the US, it's expected to hit UK market within this month, and is expected to priced around $518.


At the same time, Digitimes is also reporting that Asus will be releasing a 11.6-inch Eee PC netbook this month. There's no further information available for the 11.6-inch Eee PC at this moment, other than that it will account for 30% of Asustek’s shipments for the rest of the year, according to the company's president Jerry Shen.

Most netbooks today have the standard size of either 8.9-inch, 10.1-inch or 12-inch display. And it looks like now the 11.6-inch netbook size is going to be another new standard size for netnook. We suspect that there will be more 11.6-inch netbooks from other brands popping up soon.
