Acer Aspire One First Impression

Just before we say goodbye to Computex Taipei, we managed to lay our hands ona Acer Aspire One demo unit. Aspire One is internally known as ZG5 and ispowered by Atom N270 at 1.6GHz. It has 512MB DDR2 SDRAM onboard and has anotherexpansion slot for a stick of 512/1/2GB. It comes with 8.9-inch display with upto 1024x600 resolution, a 1.3M pixel camera, a dedicated SDHC expansion slot, aninternal card reader, 8GB SSD onboard, 80GB HDD (optional), 3 x USB 2.0 ports,802.11b/g wireless, 10/100 Ethernet, VGA out. The demo unit comes with a 3-cell2200mAh battery but Acer offers 6-cell 4400mAh battery as well. Interestingly,it has WiMAX module onboard (optional) and a slot for 3G SIM card. Acer isslated to launch it in July for US$ 399 and we feel that it is a worthycompetitor to ASUS Eee PC series in terms of specs, look and feel. We learnedthat Acer is planning a 10" model as well.
