Back in December Acer launched the Aspire One AOD270-1834 it comes with high level Specs for a netbook and it offered the latest Cedar Trail version of the Intel 1.6 GHz Atom N2600 processor! Nevertheless, the delivery of the Cedar Trail chips was delayed, which stopped the Aspire One AOD270-1834 in its tracks.

However at the recent CES 2012 expo in Las Vegas, there was an abundance of Cedar Trail powered laptops and netbooks on show, which forced Acer once to make a move, this time the Aspire One AOD270-1834 is ready for pre-order on Amazon. However, there is no date indicated as to when the buyer can expect to take delivery of the machine.

The AOD270-1834 comes with the normal 10.1 inch WSVGA LED back lit low-res display with a 1024 x 600 of pixel resolutions and it comes with a built in 0.3 mega pixel web camera.

The most interesting part of this netbook will be the new Cedar Trail version of the Intel Atom Dual Core N2600 Processor with 1.6 GHz, it will be supporting the Mobile Intel NM10 Express Chipset and graphics are from the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3600. Internal memory is just 1024 MB of DDR3 RAM but this in line with other netbooks, as is the 320 GB SATA Hard disk Drive (HDD) at 5400 RPM for storage.

Networking relies on the 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi feature and it would seem that no Bluetooth is available on this netbook. Other features include three standard USB 2.0 Ports, an HDMI port and there is even a useful multi into one digital media card reader.

The netbook measures 10.17 inches (L), 7.28 inches (W), 1.01 inches (H) and weighs in at 2.87 pounds (1.3 Kg) with the 6 cell Li-ion Battery (4400 mAh) that Acer claim to be good for up to eight hours Battery Life while running the Microsoft Windows 7 Starter operating system.

2GB KINGSTON PC2-6400 200-PIN SODIMM 800MHz DDR2 RAM MEMORY FOR ACER ASPIRE 1 ONE HAPPY ATOM N450 D260 AO751h-52Bk NAV50 NAV60 D255 ATOM N450 NOTEBOOK LAPTOP

“We admit, we were pretty stoked when we first saw the Acer Aspire One AOD250 running Android in dual-boot mode. What could possibly be bad about it? Fast start-up, Google apps… other good things that aren’t coming to mind at the moment… what could go wrong? Turns out, just about everything. See, the Aspire One AOD250 has an unfortunate lack of Google blessing, so that means no Gmail, which is really Android’s killer app, and no Marketplace either — so no opportunity to track down a different killer app. You can use your Google account for hooking up with Gcal, Gtalk and Google Contacts, but your Gmail account gets set up as a webmail shortcut to the included Firefox app — which does an alright, slightly hacked-on job of augmenting the standard Android browser, including support for Flash. Unfortunately, with connection woes over WiFi and Ethernet (as seen on the video), there wasn’t much redeemable even there, and perhaps the best news about the device is that it can be fully booted to XP at any time by clicking on the corner of Android’s home screen. We still think there’s promise for Android on a netbook, but it’s going to need some serious TLC (also, Gmail) before it’s ready for prime time. Check out our video impressions after the break.”

I still wanna try it out though myself anyone got a link to download it ?

Add in an Intel Atom N450 or dual-core Intel Atom N550 at its heart, the Aspire One Happy and 2GB memory and you have a decent level netbook with an Android twist.

And some colours. Let’s not forget the playful colours.

The Acer Aspire One Happy is available now with a UK price of £249.99.

The Aspire One AOD255 rocks the dual-core Atom N550 cpu along with 1GB DDR3 memory. Along with the added horsepower, the battery is now rated at eight-hours. The rest of netbooks specs are predicitable — 10.1-inch LED screen, Intel graphics 802.11, b/g/n, 1.3 MP webcam, 250GB hard drive — but they are also just fine for the form factor.

The larger, 11.6-inch Aspire One AO721 goes about things a little different. Instead of utilizing Intel chips, this netbook dances with AMD with an Athlon II Neo K125 and 384MB ATI Radeon HD 4225 GPU. Nearly everything else is the same with its Intel counterpart, but the AO721 comes packing with 2GB of DDR3 memory and a six-hour battery.

Expect these models to hit the usual retailers sometime this month for $329 and $429.

Laptop Netbook Charger for Acer Aspire One 521 721 751 752 753 Compatible Replacement Notebook Adapter Adaptor Power Supply - Laptop Power (TM) Branded (UK Powercord and 12 Month Warranty)

“You’d be forgiven if you took one look at the new Laser One Chinese laptop and thought it was yet another variation of Acer’s Aspire One 10 inch netbook series. I’m pretty sure that’s what the manufacturer wants you to think after all. But als, it’s just another cheap knockoff.

Shanzhaiben reports that the Laser One is also both cheaper and larger than your typical Acer netbook, with a 12.1 inch display and $230 price tag. It also skips Acer’s typical keyboard design (with flat, wide keys) and instead uses a pretty traditional keyboard design complete with a row of Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys on the right side. I guess that’s the advantage of using a larger display than the notebooks you’re copying (although Acer doesn’t typically dedicate a full row to these keys even on its 11.6 inch laptops).

The rest of the specs are pretty typical, including a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of memory, and a 160GB hard drive. The laptop has a 6 cell battery and comes in black, red, blue or white.

 ”Value is a tough call. There’s no denying that our review model’s £300 price (not to be confused with the £280 533-13Dk sporting the more common 1.66GHz Atom) is cheap when compared to current rivals that frequently sport lower specifications. However, we’re not convinced the extra performance or addition of Bluetooth 3.0 elevate it above netbooks around the £280 bracket, and Acer’s own D260 (review coming next week) can be had for just £230.

Inevitably, the 533′s 10.1in, glossy screen sports the same 1,024 x 600 resolution as most other netbooks, but it’s actually quite decent. Colours are convincing and black levels relatively deep. Sharpness is also excellent, aiding readability, and the backlight is consistent. Viewing angles are mediocre at best though, so be careful how you angle the display.”

“Acer’s Aspire One 533 sets itself apart from other current-generation netbooks with a faster Atom CPU and Bluetooth 3.0, and surprisingly doesn’t charge extra for these privileges. However, these are still only incremental improvements rather than must-buy features, and there are cheaper alternatives.”
