Tablet computers have risen to take away the spotlight from netbooks in the eyes of most consumers nowadays. However, there are still a lot of things that netbooks can do that tablets simply can’t. Consider the Acer Aspire One Happy 2. It offers half a terabyte of local storage while weighing little more than a kilogram and comes in a shocking pink color, to boot. It’s kind of like a 10-inch tablet with a built-in keyboard and trackpad. In fact, that’s what all netbooks are like. So what makes this one stand out from all the others? Read the rest of this Acer Aspire One Happy 2 review to find out.

While Asus seems to be doing pretty good in terms of Eee PC shipments, both HP and Acer suffered a decline in their global notebook market share during the 1st quarter of 2011. To be more specific, HP’s global notebook market share went from 20.2% to 18.5%, while Acer’s dipped from 14.9% to 14.8%. Meanwhile, their competitors which include Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung, Apple and Asus all enjoyed a rise in their market share for Q1 2011.

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.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have three great mini-notebooks from three different companies in front of you and compare them to each other side-by-side, or are just in the mood for some kind of geek porn on a Friday morning, Brad Linder from Liliputing has just the thing you need. He just took a Dell Inspiron M101Z, Lenovo X100e and Acer Aspire One 721 to see how they all stack up to each other (literally). And he’s posted pictures. He’s got photos of the three mini-notebooks taken from all angles, showing what kind of differences one might have over the others, or any similarities at all if there are any. Hit up the link below for all the awesome pictures.

The recently released netbook from Acer, the Aspire One 521 is available from Amazon for $349.99 and Balazs over at nDevil has already got his hands on it. Upon receiving it, he’s unboxed the Acer netbook and recorded it on video for us all to see, which you can view after the jump.

The Acer Aspire One 521 features a 10 inch display and is powered by a Single Core 1.7GHz AMD Athlon II Neo K125 processor. It also has an ATI Radeon HD 4225 graphics chipset making it more powerful than other netbooks on the market and is rather powerful with regards to netbook standards. The Aspire One 521 also features an HDMI port and Gigabit LAN. Another interesting feature, which isn’t commonly seen on netbooks, is that the screen is capable of folding back almost 180 degrees.

They didn’t turn on the thing though so we can’t be sure if it really packs some Android loving in it or not. The guy in the video did say that there would be a Windows XP and 7 Starter options. It looks like your run of the mill 10-inch Pine Trail netbook though it did have a nice island key layout to go with it.

It’s going to be on sale in France this June and check the video below for more fun.

Acer has just started offering a red hot Ferrari for under $1000 USD–and you can carry it in a backpack. I’m talking about the Acer Ferrari One netbook which runs on AMD’s M780G chipset and uses a 1.2GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 graphics. At this point, you might wonder, is this thing really a netbook? Well, the rest of its specs should stand as ample evidence of the fact: it has an 11.6-inch LCD screen, built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, webcam, and a 6-cell battery that’s rated for up to 5 hours of battery life. There’s also a 250GB hard drive onboard, as well as 3 USB ports, a VGA-out port, two built-in stereo speakers and a multi-touch trackpad. The cost of having this netbook in flaming red with a Ferrari logo on top? $600 USD. Continue reading for Acer’s full press release.

If you’re looking to upgrade from XP or Vista on your netbook, or perhaps you already have, then here’s some great news for you. Some netbook makers have already updated the driver download pages to include Windows 7 drivers which should work better than Vista drivers you may be using instead. Most Asus netbooks now have drivers for Windows 7 from their support page.

Other companies have updated their support pages but, not all companies support many netbook models. There is support from Toshiba for the NB205, while Acer are providing Windows 7 drivers for the Aspire One 751 and AOP531h with AOD250 to follow. Dell are listing drivers for the Mini 10v and Mini 10 but not the Inspiron Mini 9 or 12. HP on the other hand have support for discontinued netbooks, such as the HP Mini 2140. They’ve also got support for the 110, 5101 and other models. Lenovo have also updated their support page to include manuals but, no drivers yet. This could change soon though.

You may have read our Acer Aspire One 751 first impressions article earlier and are now looking forward to the netbook’s full review. Well, we’re still prepping up our own, but in the meantime, you can check out LaptopMag’s version of an AAO 751 netbook review. They give the netbook a rating of 3 and a half stars, identifying its strong points as long battery life, slim profile, comfortable keyboard and bright hi-res display. Of course, it isn’t without weak points, and these include the single touchpad button (which I quickly ranted about earlier) and its relatively subpar performance scores.
