Acer has decided to do something different with the
Aspire One D260 and add an interesting dual boot feature -
Windows 7 Starter and Android.
The netbook itself has the following great value Specification:
- 10.1 inch, 1,024 x 600 display
- Choice of:
- 1.66GHz Atom N450 with 1GB of DDR2 RAM
- 1.66GHz Atom N455 with 2GB of DDR3
- Intel GMA 3150 graphics
- 250GB hard drive
- Card reader, 3x USB, Wireless N, Bluetooth, Ethernet …
- 8 hour battery life with optional 6 cell battery
- Size: 258.5mm x 185mm x 24mm
- Weight: 1.25kg
- MiniGo adapter 34% lighter than typical adapters
- Choice of four colors: Black Flake, Purple Flake, Pink Flake and Charcoal Flake.
What’s really interesting about this new value Netbook device deal is the dual boot - offering both Windows 7 and Google Android Netbook.
There’s very little info on the Android OS from Acer at present, so I’m guessing Android 1.5.
We are however promised a 15 second boot time to check email and surf the web, which is nice.
No price yet, and availability is expected July 1st
