Acer Aspire One AOD250 Dual Boot Android And Windows XP Netbook Is Official

Topic:

As reported yesterday the new dual boot Acer Aspire One D250 is already available for pre-order on Amazon. Just now Acer made the dual boot Acer Aspire One AOD250 netbook official.
The 10.1-inch Aspire One AOD250 with Android and Windows XP lets you switch between Android and Windows XP Home operating systems with just a click of a mouse.

I do not quite understand why Acer is launching a new netbook with Windows XP and not Windows 7. Only reason I can see here that the netbook is aimed at Android fans and the Windows OS is secondary. Read more

HDD Compared To SSD On Acer Aspire One D250 Netbook

Topic:

If you are still not convinced that an SSD upgrade is really beneficial in terms of overall performance like I am already, here is another comparison. I have upgraded an old but still sexy Thinkpad X40 with an SSD and the result is awesome. Also just recently I replaced the boot HDD on my Windows XP Desktop with an SSD and the resulting performance gains are dramatic.

iGadgetLive compared the overall performance of an Acer Aspire One D250 netbook between HDD and SSD.
Quote: "My Acer Aspire One D250 came with a standard mechanical hard drive, and recently I acquired another SSD drive so I figured why not swap the HDD out for the SSD as that seems the popular way to go these days. Now I knew the read and write speeds of the SSD would be much faster than the lowly 5400RPM hard drive, but I was curious as to how much of an actual affect it had on the system as a whole though. I wanted to know just how much an SSD affects everything in the system and not just the transfer rates or read/writes. Read more

Acer Aspire Timeline 4810T Notebook Review

Topic:

Today I am looking at the new Acer Aspire Timeline 4810T notebook. The notebook has a thin profile and a single core processor that offers more performance than a laptop without much more bulk.

The thin machine has a retail price less than half that of the Dell Adamo or the MacBook Air. The machine also has an integrated optical drive and enough battery power for the average user to work all day on a single charge. Read more

Acer Aspire One A150 8.9 inch Netbook compared with ASUS Eee PC 900HA

Topic:

Netbooks with 8.9 inch have been the standard last year and now we just see 10 inch netbooks taking over. I still like the small and compact 8.9 inch size as the screen has the same resolution as most 10 inch screens available and the performance is also similar. The small Aspire One is still very popular with currently ranking on #3 in the Amazon netbook sales chart. The keyboard is of course rather small, but that is the price for ultra-portability.
Below we take a closer look at the Acer Aspire One A150 and compare it to Asus' 8.9 inch Netbook - the ASUS Eee PC 900HA. Read more
