Cedar Trail Powered Aspire One Pre-order On Amazon

Cedar Trail Powered Aspire One Pre-order On Amazon:

Back in December Acer launched the Aspire One AOD270-1834 it comes with high level Specs for a netbook and it offered the latest Cedar Trail version of the Intel 1.6 GHz Atom N2600 processor! Nevertheless, the delivery of the Cedar Trail chips was delayed, which stopped the Aspire One AOD270-1834 in its tracks.

However at the recent CES 2012 expo in Las Vegas, there was an abundance of Cedar Trail powered laptops and netbooks on show, which forced Acer once to make a move, this time the Aspire One AOD270-1834 is ready for pre-order on Amazon. However, there is no date indicated as to when the buyer can expect to take delivery of the machine.

The AOD270-1834 comes with the normal 10.1 inch WSVGA LED back lit low-res display with a 1024 x 600 of pixel resolutions and it comes with a built in 0.3 mega pixel web camera.

The most interesting part of this netbook will be the new Cedar Trail version of the Intel Atom Dual Core N2600 Processor with 1.6 GHz, it will be supporting the Mobile Intel NM10 Express Chipset and graphics are from the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3600. Internal memory is just 1024 MB of DDR3 RAM but this in line with other netbooks, as is the 320 GB SATA Hard disk Drive (HDD) at 5400 RPM for storage.

Networking relies on the 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi feature and it would seem that no Bluetooth is available on this netbook. Other features include three standard USB 2.0 Ports, an HDMI port and there is even a useful multi into one digital media card reader.

The netbook measures 10.17 inches (L), 7.28 inches (W), 1.01 inches (H) and weighs in at 2.87 pounds (1.3 Kg) with the 6 cell Li-ion Battery (4400 mAh) that Acer claim to be good for up to eight hours Battery Life while running the Microsoft Windows 7 Starter operating system.

The Cedar Trail Powered Aspire One has not got a delivery date yet, but it can be pre-ordered on Amazon for $284.61.

Asus will be launching a new U series

Asus will be launching a new U series:

This summer or possibly earlier Asus will be adding to its already busy line of thin and light laptops, which are these days known as ultrabooks with the U47A and the U47VC complete with smart brushed aluminium alloy chassis. The two models appear to be more or less the same in specs and features, apart from the U47A with its integrated Intel HD graphics and the U47VC using the NVIDIA GeForce graphics card. With that being the only visible difference so far, let us check out what these two ultrabooks really do have to offer.

The U series will feature a 14 inch display with a bezel so thin that it measures just over 13 inches, the display is an LED backlit in high definition with an aspect ratio of 16:9, 1366 x 768 of pixel resolutions and it even has a built in 0.3 mega pixel web camera. Asus will probably be using the latest Intel Ivy Bridge processors, which come out in Q2 of this year, so expect either the Core i3 or Core i5 variety. It is also safe to say that the next generation discrete GPU built by Nvidia will also features in the U series.

According to sources there will be up to 8 GB of system memory and the option to go from the base 320 GB up to 1 TB hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) with possibility of a spindle speed to 7200 RPM, which is great for faster data access etc. Other known features will of course be the HDMI output, optional Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, super multi DVD drive and a couple of fast connecting USB 3.0 ports. Asus are saying that there will be up to eight hours of battery life, which is great considering that the U Series will weigh in at just 2.9 pounds (1.32 Kg) and will around an inch thick (25.1 mm) now that is what you call an ultrabook.

Naturally, it is too early to know the starting price of the U Series, but keep an eye out for it at the end of Q2 or the beginning of Q3.
