Acer with its Aspire One is now trying to be the best selling netbook in 2010 (again). As they successfully put Aspire One as the best selling netbook in 2008. Acer’s first move is the Acer Aspire One AO532H. Powered with the new Intel Atom N450 processor, 10 hours battery life (hopefully…), and here is the best part of it: you can bring it home for $299. It seems like other producers like HP, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung have to find other way to beat it.
What will you get for this $299 netbook?
The Acer Aspire One AO532H is powered with Intel Atom N450, that now become a new standard for netbooks, replacing the N270 and N280. It will also come with 6-cell batteries that are boasted to give you 10 hours computing. You will also get Acer’s FineTip keyboard that hopefully large enough not to make your fingers cramping while typing a rather lot documents. For the OS, you’ll get Windows 7 (unfortunately it is only a Starter Edition), some said that this new Microsoft OS is not so great for netbook baterry life. But Intel’s Pine Trail CPUs are more energy-efficient, and help to give back some of the battery life Windows 7 steals. Acer also claims that the 10.1-inch LED-backlit TFT LCD saves 22.2 percent power compared with other netbook displays. Other specs are quite standard like other netbooks on the market: a b/g/-draft-n wireless card, 1GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, and standard spread of ports.
Except the new Intel N450 processor, you will not get anything new from this new Acer Aspire One AO532H compared to other netbooks, but the price that only $299 will attract people to get it as it is available on the market.
