The Acer Aspire One D250 takes a standard netbook spec machine and adds the Android operating system into the mix.?You get an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 1GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive, and Android deployed in the same way that Asus and Sony (to name two) have used Linux kernels in the past.
Connectivity comes in the form of an Ethernet socket and Wi-Fi b/g, with 3x USB 2.0 connections, VGA, headphone and mic sockets. A card reader sits in the edge so you can slot in an SD card, which will sit flush with the edge so you can leave it in all the time if that’s what you want to do.
The D250 itself measures 257 x 185 x 24mm and is lightweight at just over 1kg including the battery. The construction is predominantly plastic and whilst the base of the D250 feels solid enough, the screen feels decidedly flimsy, not helped by the elevated hinges.
The internal finish is reasonable enough when you lift the lid, with a brushed effect around the keyboard and trackpad that keeps things relatively clear of fingerprints. The glossy plastic bezel surrounding the 10.1-inch LED backlit display and housing the webcam unfortunately doesn’t get the same treatment.

Just ahead of CES Acer has announced its next generation netbook, the Aspire One AO532h, which features a new Intel Atom N450 processor, 10.1? display and claims 10 hours of battery life. The long battery life of the Aspire One AO532h is achieved in part thanks to the more efficient Intel Atom N450 processor and the use of an LED backlit screen. The new Acer netbook is a slim device with thickness under an inch and weighs in at 2.72 pounds with battery.
In addition to the standard netbook features the new Aspire One AO532h has a multi-gesture trackpad and a 93 percent size keyboard. The 93 percent keyboard is a bit larger than most netbooks on the market, 1%, which may not seem like much but in my experience even a little extra room on a keyboard is a good thing.
In order to achieve the claimed 10 hours of battery life you will need to purchase the Aspire One AO532h with the high density 6-cell battery instead of the standard 6-cell battery (8 hours) that is in the default model. Additionally users can choose from 3 colors; Onyx Blue, Garnet Red and Silver Matrix.
The Aspire One AO532h starts at $299 with the standard 6-cell battery.

Acer is preparing a new 10.1-inch netbook armed with an Intel Pineview processor. The Acer Aspire One 532 (AO532h) is listed on Acer’s driver pages and it seems that this model is already listed by some e-tailers where the specs were found.
The Aspire One 532 will come with a 10.1-inch high resolution (1280 x 720) display and will be powered by the upcoming 1.66GHz Intel Pineview N450 Atom processor and GMA 3150 graphics. It will also come with 1GB RAM, a 160GB/250GB HDD and Windows 7 Starter.
Other features include a 3-cell battery, 5-in-1 card reader, 0.3MP webcam and three USB ports. It will be available in four different colours (Blue, Red, Black and Silver) and prices look like they’ll start from €299. If that price is true, Acer could have a winner on their hands! Check out the evidence after the break.

Acer is apparently keeping the current model name of the currently Windows XP netbooks the same when they move to Windows 7. PCWorld reports that Acer will launch the Acer Aspire One D250 with Windows 7 next week. The Aspire One D250 Windows 7 netbook has a 10.1-inch screen with 1,280 pixels by 720px resolution, 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU and a 160GB HDD. The battery life is only 3.5 hours, but there is supposed a better battery available as accessory. Looking at the Acer D250 netbooks offered on Amazon you find the new Acer AOD250-1613 netbook on pre-order that offers to either boot Android or Windows XP Home. I’d rather wait for the Windows 7 version.

Most unusual, though, is support for ATI’s XGP technology. XGP, for those who don’t know or recall, was announced last year. On paper it’s a very cool technology, enabling the use of external graphics solutions to be connected via the propriety port. Since it uses its own port, XGP isn’t limited by the bandwidth of an ExpressCard slot like similar products.
Unfortunately, XGP has never really taken off and we can’t see the Ferrari One sparking any revival. Innovative as the technology might be, it really needs to be applied to something with more all-round abilities than a netbook-cum-affordable ultra-portable. Moreover, its presence, we assume due to the size of the port, means there’s no integrated HDMI port, which would prove more useful.
Particularly since the ATI integrated graphics is more than useless. Like the much hyped nVidia ION platform, it can decode 1080p video smoothly, with no dropped frames and minimal jitter. Depending on the source material it normally does this with around 50 to 60 per cent CPU utilisation, so it’s a shame you can’t stream audio and video to a TV or monitor through one cable, as an HDMI would allow.

Statistics from the UK’s only dedicated netbook comparison website show that people are already starting to research low cost mini-laptops as potential gifts during the second credit crunch Christmas.
As the UK struggles through another credit crunch Christmas and shoppers spend more time hunting out great value gifts it seems no great coincidence that computer manufacturers are focusing their attention on recession priced netbooks.
The netbook, an ultra-cheap mini-laptop designed to be used mainly to access the internet over wireless connections, has been seized on by shoppers as a great value present for 2009. Netbooks currently occupy 4 of the top 5 positions in the Amazon bestseller list in the computer category and according to Gartner their sales make up 8% of total computer sales. Netbooks start from as little as £130 and can do many of the things full sized laptops or desktops can do which makes them very attractive for cash-strapped consumers.
