For those not familiar with Tnkgrl, let me tell you, she loves to take computers apart and upgrade them. Which is exactly what she’s done to the Acer Aspire One.
Within a few days of having the Acer Aspire One, it was ripped apart and she had added an internal Bluetooth module. You’re also in luck if you’d like to perform this modification as she has a video of the process and has uploaded it. You’ve also got the choice of looking at the pictures she’s uploaded to Flickr detailing it more.
Her blog explains in more detail which bluetooth modules work best, which are obsolete, and comments on the procedure.
So, Acer finally decided to officially launched its entry into the ultraportable notebook arena - the Acer Aspire One. All the features that we reported a couple of days ago is finally official. Official release date for the U.S. market will be 3Q at an SRP starting at $379.
We also know now that aside from having the Intel Atom processor, the Acer Aspire One would either be powered by the Linpus Linux Lite or Windows XP Home. It will also either come with a 512MB or 1GBMB RAM. The Acer Aspire One would also be loaded with a CrystalEye webcam, a nand flash module of 8GB or an 80GB internal HDD. It will also support SD, MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, xD-picture card. So, that would give you many options for storage.
In addition, the Acer Aspire One would also feature the Smart File Manager that instantly and seamlesly merges extra storage from any SD card inserted in the second SD card slot.
And so we finally have an official competitor of the Eee PC 901 with the ACER branding. Next please.
