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.
Interesting. (Actually, the Aspire Ones come in two flavours - a 4 hour
and an 8 hour - so this is pretty similar.) I'm looking forward to the
new AMD CPUs.
