Acer is one of my favorite companies really, I like their stuff a lot, it’s always well made and works great. They’ve recently announced tow new versions of the Aspire One Netbooks that feature AMD Athlon II Neo processors in them for a nice boost in performance. There’s two versions, the first is an 11.6 “ model that is the A0721, and then there’s the 10.1” model that is the A0521 that both feature ATI graphics chips in them as well. Prices are $349.99 for the A0521 and $429.99 for the A0721.
The Aspire One AO721 has a high-definition 11.6-inch CrystalBrite™ LED backlit display, offering the largest viewing area on an Acer netbook. Housed in a black matte, mesh-textured cover which limits fingerprints and smudging, the Aspire One AO721 is sleek and portable at less than one-inch thin and about three pounds in weight. The Aspire One AO721 boasts a full-sized keyboard, enabling users more accurate and comfortable typing, in a footprint smaller than a magazine. The Aspire One AO721 is equipped with a full 2GB of DDR3 memory and up to a 250GB internal hard drive, providing plenty of storage space for mobile enthusiasts.
