Well, I'm here again, to give you some flaming hot news about the new Acer Aspire One Laptop. However, first let me clue you in on the revolutionary Intel Atom Processor that is the core of this laptop and the future for most devices to come.
The Intel Atom Processor is a recently built, low-powered, high-performance processor. One big bonus is its diminutiveness, even with the motherboard. This is the main reason why the Intel Atom Processor is being used for laptops and some desktop PCs. The smaller the processor and the motherboard, the smaller you can make the entire device.
The Acer Aspire One is one of the first laptops to incorporate the Intel Atom Processor in its core.
Acer Aspire One specifications:
1.6GHz N270 Intel Atom Processor
1GB DDR2 533MHz
Windows XP Home SP3
120GB hard drive
802.11b/g Atheros Wireless
Weight: 2lb 5oz
Build and Design
The design of the Acer Aspire One is ultra sleek with soft, round edges and a smooth glossy surface that is carrier-comfy when closed. Glossy plastic is found on the top of the screen cover, as well as around the entire LCD.
It feels solid for a laptop and strong enough to handle being tossed around inside a bag without much concern for safety. The screen cover is especially strong, which is important for protecting the relatively fragile LCD panel.
Display
Hello, Jamaica, bright is back! The vivid colours explode through the glossy screen, but reflections and glare range from minor annoyance to collateral damage for your technology pleasure binge.
Performance
This Intel Atom-based laptop won't be breaking any speed records, but it performed more than adequately for normal activities. Internet browsing, word processing, and even photo editing were as easy as proverbial cheese. No quarrels in this department.
Conclusion
For those laptop-hunting technophiles on a low budget (say, the $30,000 range), the Acer Aspire One is a worthy contender to consider. This computer has a solid build and turns out modest performance to handle familiar software and applications with no difficulty.
The battery life isn't the best in the world, but at least it gets the job done. With such a small price tag, it is so hard to say no to the Acer Aspire One.
