June 25, 2008 Posted by
Known as the Acer One, as you can see from the above picture it brings a fresh new look to the linux laptop scene, according to Acer it’’s “not a low-cost notebook” and on first impressions looking at the laptop I would agree.
The One is packed with processor and memory power boasting a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor; 512MB of 533MHz DDR 2 memory with a single SO-Dimm slot ; 1024 x 600, 262,000-colour LED-backlit display, 8.9in screen and a 0.3- mega pixel webcam.
Acer’’s One: The Price?
Like many other small laptops the One comes with a choice of either Linux or XP Home. The Linux version is fitted with 8GB of solid-state storage, while the alternative XP version comes with a 80GB hard drive along with a higher price and a battery life which is lower.
The One uses Intel’’s 945GSE chipset, HD audio on board and 3D graphics support. 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and 10/100Mb/s Ethernet , 3 USB 2.0 ports, 3.5mm audio sockets and VGA.
Slick
One of the plus points to the laptop is that it comes with a memory card reader which is great to boast storage capacity.
