Acer is preparing to introduce its first AMD based netbook, the 10-inch
Aspire One 522.
Sporting a classic Aspire One chassis in Futurama trademarked electric
mucus green, the 522 is based on the C-50 processor, a 1GHz Ontario
dual-core with a TDP of 9W. The C-50 features Radeon HD 6250 graphics with
DirectX 11 and UVD3 support, something Intel's netbook parts can only
dream of.
Aside from the new processor, the Aspire One 522 also comes with a new
1280x720 screen, which is a significant improvement over previous 1024x600
units. It also has HDMI out, just in case you need more.
Battery life is rated at six hours, which is somewhat less than similarly
spec'd Intel-based Aspire Ones.

It's time to get a new work laptop and I was wondering if anyone had used
the Toshiba Protege R705-P35. I'm considering getting the one with a
core
i5 and intel SSD
I'm currently using a Lenovo x200t and so my other leading candidate is a
Lenovo x201. I love the Thinkpad keyboard and the little features like
the
thumbprint scanner and TPM.
I use the laptop both a home when I can't be at my desk and when
traveling,
which is fairly often. So it needs to be pretty light. I don't game
with
it so graphics are not a priority.
Thoughts?
