Acer ready to bury the competition with two new Aspire One netbooks – one which features 11.6 inch display and full sized keyboard
Acer is clearly looking to extend it’s dominance in the netbook industry with yesterday’s announcement of two new Aspire One models – the industry’s first 11.6 inch Aspire One netbook (model AO751h) and a new 10.1 inch Acer Aspire One model AOD250.
Let’s focus first on the 11.6 inch model shall we? Specs and features include:
- Intel Atom N270 or Z520 processor
- 11.6 inch high definition CrystalBrite LED-backlit widescreen (16:9) display
- Full sized keyboard (oh yeah)
- Mobile Intel US15W Express Chipset
- 1GB RAM
- 160GB SATA 5400RPM HDD
- Multi-format media card reader
- Acer InviLink 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi
- Acer Crystal Eye Webcam
- Two built-in stereo speakers
- Three USB 2.0 ports
- Extended 6 cell battery for up to 8 hours of power
- 3 cell battery for up to 4 hours of power
- Multi-Gesture touchpad which allows users to pinch, flick, and swirl their fingers across the touchpad
- Windows XP Home SP3
- Weight of 2.75 lbs
- Measures 11.18 x 7.79 x 1 inch
- MSRP of $379.99
Meanwhile, the new 10.1 inch Acer Aspire One model AOD250 features:
- Intel Atom N270 processor
- 10.1 inch WSVGA LED backlit display
- Mobile Intel 945GSE Express Chipset
- 1GB RAM
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
- 160GB SATA 5400RPM HDD
- Multi-format card reader
- Acer Crystal Eye Web Camera
- Two built-in stereo speakers
- Three USB 2.0 ports
- 3 cell battery for up to 3 hours and 15 minutes of power
- 6 cell battery for up to 6 hours of power
- Weight of 2.44 lbs
- Measures 10.17 x 7.24 x 1 inch
- MSRP of $298
Judging from the aggressive pricing, it’s clear Acer is trying to bring the hammer down on the competition. The starting price for the 11.6 inch Aspire One A075h netbook is $349.99. Throw in the 6 cell battery and the starting price only goes up to $379.99. The new 10 inch model has starting prices in the $298 range. Very cool.
