Right, we already got a few snippets about Acer’s imminent AMD Fusion-powered netbook although you can always be sure of Amazon to hand out the spec and pricing details. Unlike the Fusion HP 311m business set we’ve just reviewed, which sports a higher-end AMD E-450 APU, the Aspire One AO722-0473 is not only powered by Dual Core C-60 processor, but runs a TurboCore auto overclocking quality that ticks the clock speed to 1.33GHz – including a 1MB L2 cache memory.

The 11.6 inch netbook still melds AMD Radeon HD 6290 graphics that accompanies 256MB of dedicated memory. Hence, there shouldn’t be a problem playing full HD video including some light gaming. And considering (asking price $283.71) indeed we should look forward to real opposition from major Atom netbooks in both pricing and graphics prowess. More inboard is one HDMI out port that supports HDCP; now link this with a wireless HDMI configuration, you’d have easily turned your machine into a fully functional entertainment hub.

You’ll also find a multi-in-1 card reader and 3 USB 2.0 ports. It also has a Wireless-N with backward harmonized (WIFI-802.11b/g/n). Given all its positive attributes, we propose at least heading to Amazon and having one in person. However if you find it maddening by accidental right clicks, then it isn’t likely to be easy on use – not without a push from Acer, at least.

According to a report, Acer Chairman JT Wang alleged that Microsoft software could soon effectively take on Apple. Perhaps the only challenge that persists at the moment for Microsoft’s Windows is the growth of Apple’s iOS on tablets (iPad), and smartphones (iPhone) – according to an editorial in Taipei-based Digitimes, which published Wang’s comments on Monday.

Citing Wang’s comments, Microsoft’s Windows “hasn’t had any achievements within these two markets that can help it gain share,” citing a decline in Netbook sales hence resulting in only “slim” growth in the conventional laptop market. Although the publisher didn’t detail on Wang’s point, we assume Wang was speaking about market intrusion by the iPad, for instance, on the Netbook as well as low-end laptop market.

Although, recent reports from Gartner indicate only meek growth in PC sales in 2011; the Acer Group was placed in the 4^th position in world rankings in terms of PC sales in the third quarter, according to IDC.

According to Wang, Apple’s “notebook products are only minor drivers” for growth and pale citing to the exciting escalation seen in its iPads and iPhones. However, Windows 8 could change this. In a few coming years, Wang sees a rebirth of the Microsoft camp behind Windows 8 as Microsoft reacts more efficiently to “consumer demands,” according to the report. Expect to see Windows 8 by 2013.

The Windows 8 is anticipated to run on wider range of devices, including, smartphones, tablets, Ultrabook clamshell laptops (latter rivaling Apple’s MacBook Air) and tablet-laptop hybrids.

For those who are not yet satisfied, post-PC era is already here with us? We can fairly decisively conclude we’ve finally entered a post-netbook time. And this Q2 2011 marks the first time we’ve witnessed netbbooks numbers being eclipsed by tablets, according to ABI Research – where global tablet sales increased to 13.6 million units, than that of 7.3 million netbooks. In fact, Netbooks surged 13% from their first quarter sales of 8.4 million netbooks, and, more significantly, tablet sales really shot up: clocking 6.4 million units in the first quarter of this year.

Cost seemingly isn’t a driving factor as earlier thought – according to the research firm; tablets still maintains an average price of $600 – almost double compared to their typically under-powered netbooks. Oh, by the way, did you know that of the 68% of tablets sold were of Cupertino’s flavor?

This iteration of Asus Eee PC netbook  gets a refresh with an AMD C-60 dual core processor. Now Acer follows suit and will have its budget-friendly Aspire One notebooks the same refresh.

The Acer Aspire One 522 and the Aspire One 722, 10-inch and 11.6-inch netbooks respectively, originally contains with 1 GHz AMD C-50 processors with Radeon HD 6250. Now the same netbooks are seen in the wild with more powerful AMD C-60 and Radeon HD 6290 graphics.

The C-60 wont replace your desktop but the new processors should offer more computing power without using more energy. The C60 has a TDP of 9W just like its predecessor. Complete specs of the 522 and 722 can be found here and here, respectively.

It looks like Acer is not yet ready to give up on their netbook product line despite the growing popularity of tablet devices. Acer Taiwan has released a new netbook – Acer Aspire one 722 which is quite similar to the previously released Acer Aspire One 522 with minor enhancements to its features.

The Acer Aspire one 722 features an 11.6-inch display with a new resolution of 1366×768 pixels. Battery life of the netbook was also improved to 7 hours as compared to the 6 hours battery life of the Acer Aspire one 522. When it comes to audio, Acer also enhanced the Aspire One 722′s with two integrated speakers as well as improved its processing power by making the processor to AMD C-50 APU.

Pricing and release date are yet to be announced by Acer.

Acer Launches the New Aspire One 722 Netbook is a post from: Eee PC

While previous models of the Acer Aspire One have been renamed, or rather renumbered to represent the model number, such as AOD150, AOD250, etc and more recently the D255, Acer are now to release the “Happy” netbook. Essentially it will be the same as the recently released Acer Aspire One D255, which means it’ll come packed with Intel’s Dual Core Atom processor.

What is different however, is the design of the netbook. The keyboard and bezel will be white in color, where as the lid and palm rest will come in a variety of bright colors. It’s not known how many colors the netbook will come in yet but, if it wants to make consumers happy, presumably the popular colors will be included. For now, we just have photos of the green model, which you can view below.

Hopefully we should see the netbook released soon but, it’s not known which markets Acer will release it to. Likewise, pricing information also isn’t known yet.

The Home Shopping Network is currently selling the netbook which is available in several colors. You can pick the D255 up in diamond black, sandstone brown, ruby red or aquamarine. All of the color variants are available for $399.99. As well as featuring the new N550 CPU, the netbook also comes with a 250GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM and a 10.1 inch display, with a resolution of 1024×600.

Ultralight notebooks housing CULV processors are known to be pricier than netbooks. So Acer rebranded one of its thin and light devices, the Acer Aspire Timeline 1410, into their budget netbook like as the Acer Aspire One 752.

Acer Aspire One 752

• 11.6″ 1366 x 768 screen
• 1.3oGHz Intel Celeron ULV 743 with GMA 4500MHD
• up to 4GB RAM
• 320GB HDD
• 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, Gigabit LAN
• HDMI out, Dolby audio
• 5-hour battery life
• Weight: 1.41kg

It’s a bit on the borderline between a netbook and a notebook already but if you’re not a stickler for terminology, this looks like a solid device all around. It will be available in black, blue, white and red. No pricing and availability details yet.
