Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Acer’s upcoming Aspire Timeline brand of notebook computers will combine performance with long battery life. The Timeline notebooks will come in three iterations with each providing a blend of performance and extended run time. A 13.3″ model dubbed AS3810T is the most expensive model, checking in at $899.99 while running Intel’s Core 2 Duo SU9400 (1.4GHz). Due to the small screen, it provides a whopping 9 hours of battery life.
Acer Aspire One AOD250 Reviewed
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
Acer updated its Aspire One line with the AOD150 not too long ago and now laptopmag.com has just reviewed the updated AOD250 we covered last week. The specs are pretty much standard run of the mill for netbooks but the AOD250 comes in at 0.3 inches thinner and over half a pound lighter than the AOD150. Unfortunately, the only thing that has really changed from the AOD150 to the AOD250 is the physical size and weight of the device. The AOD250 still uses Intel’s Atom N270 processor while its competitors have started to switch to the nominally faster N280 processor. Pricing is a definite strong point for the AOD250, starting with a $289 buy-in price for a 3-cell battery unit. 6-cell battery units cost $349 and offers roughly double the battery life (almost 6 hours run time).
