The Acer Aspire One 721 is an 11.6″ netbook.  The heart of the machine, is notable as it is not another Atom, and is the AMD K125 processor, which runs at 1.7 GHz.  While it is a single core product, a year of architecture enhancements may put it on par with some other parts out [...]

Acer Aspire One 533 Explained

The Acer Aspire One 533 has been making the review rounds.  Most of the parts are indeed standard netbook fare, including the 10.1″ LCD, the 1 GB of RAM, the 250 GB hard drive, and the integrated GMA 3150 graphics.  So far, no standouts. The interesting part is the processor.  While it is an Atom, it [...]

While there have been plenty of new netbooks lately, some of the biggest names have not released the full volley of machines.  Yes, that includes two of the biggest netbook names- Acer and Asus, which have new products, but not in the usual carpet bombing fashion we have gotten used to from them to cover [...]

Acer 532g

When the Ion platform got shoehorned onto the standard atom netbook, it sought to address a major shortcoming of netbooks- namely graphics capabilities.  While Ion does push up the graphics of a netbook, it does so at the expense of battery life.  Not everyone wants to make this tradeoff.

Ultrathin CULV PC

Last year, the CULV chips started a new category of laptop.  These chips offered adequate power, but allowed the notebook to be made thin, and in turn light, that gave more traditional netbooks a run for their money.
