These days we’re constantly hearing about new Netbooks being released, all the major computer manufacturers are at it, but the latest Netbook offering from Acer is a bit different.
The latest Netbook from Acer it’s basically a revi sed version of Acer’s Aspire One Netbook that will be running on Microsoft’s new Windows 7 operating system.
If you aren’t already aware, there has been a great deal of speculation about Netbooks running Windows 7 and whether or not Netbooks are powerful enough to handle it. We won’t have long to wait to find out now will we.
So is there anything different to look forward to apart from Windows 7?
First of the Aspire One 532H will have a screen size of 10.1 inches but the resolution has been upped to 1,280 x 720.We will also get a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N450 processor and a 250GB hard disk drive, the usual connectivity options which include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, USB port, all in one card reader, webcam, 2.1 + EDR and multi touch track pad.
Battery time is always an issue with both Netbooks and Laptops, but particularly Netbooks simply because they are designed to be ultra portable so we want to be able to take them with us wherever we go without having to worry about finding a socket to recharge.
The Acer Aspire 532H Netbook has a basic battery so you can expect to get anything up to three and half hours of work or play which often isn’t long enough if you’re out for the day.
However, Acer is also offering the option of a longer life battery which supposedly will give us a respectable seven and a half hours usage. Now whether that is actually case is another matter altogether, I’ll be interested to see.
