Acer planning mildly tweaked Aspire One netbook?

We snooped around pretty heavily at Acer's CeBIT booth here in Hannover, but we definitely didn't see a single Aspire One with a port layout like this. That said, we wouldn't put it past the company to push out an oh-so-barely different version of the Aspire One netbook that has already proven remarkably popular. macles* has it that Acer is planning to release a slightly revamped version, possibly dubbed the D250, that'll sport a new motherboard, port layout and a larger hard drive. Outside of that, everything should remain the same, which basically means that it's pulling an ASUS. Awesome.

These came into my work sometime last week. I work at a retail chain in New Zealand. Definitely with this revised port layout. I must say, the faux brushed aluminium doesn't look too bad.

I don't know why, but when I first saw the aluminium I was right away reminded of the Samsung SSD. Maybe is cause I am desperately wanting one? :p


But I gotta agree, it looks much nicer than the plastic.

Also, is it me or does this model not seem to have a physical mouse button?

It looks like its just an extension of the trackpad.

1024x768 would be nice.. (native)

[SNP Posted Mar 7th 2009 4:23PM]

I've always liked Acer... there products are pretty good and usually reasonably priced.

Damn it, when are they releasing netbooks with the GN40 or Ion GPU?

[roxics Posted Mar 8th 2009 11:57AM]

I'd rather see an Nvidia 9400m or similar.

[thequinox Posted Mar 8th 2009 10:46PM]

I will take whatever they give me as long as it has HDMI out and great battery life.

Modern GPU pumping video out through a VGA port? Can't XPHE hande DVI? Hey Acer, the '90s called and they want their video interface back.

[scootinger Posted Mar 7th 2009 5:28PM]

They better be putting a different processor in this model than the same boring 1.6GHz Atom N270 that you see in every single g-ddamn netbook these days. (And no, the crippled Atom Z5xx chip does not count.)

I love my Acer. Could not get me to give it up at all.
GO OUT AND BUY 'EM UP !!

[BoomHeadshot Posted Mar 7th 2009 6:01PM]

And probably no Linux version. Heck you probably can only get Linux from Dell now.

[unzarjones Posted Mar 7th 2009 7:31PM]

Why end a dreary take with "awesome"? Not witty enough for sarcasm.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 7th 2009 8:16PM]

Hopefully this model will let you expand RAM to at least 2 GB.

[roxics Posted Mar 8th 2009 11:58AM]

When are they going to start putting HDMI or any kind of digital jacks on these netbooks?

[thequinox Posted Mar 8th 2009 10:47PM]

Amen. The Inspiron Mini 10 is the only one I know of that has an HDMI output on it. But the lackluster battery life and overall dell-y-ness are making me wait for something else.

[Joe Geronimo Posted Mar 8th 2009 1:55PM]

i want one

[CJ Posted Mar 9th 2009 9:30AM]
