Acer Aspire One AOD 255-1203 review

Sometimes you have to wonder if Acer is even remotely concerned about profit margins, given how aggressively priced its laptops are. The Aspire One AOD255-1203 ($329.99 street), for instance, is the company’s latest netbook, which sports Intel’s newest dual-core Atom—the N550 (1.5GHz). Among the handful that have already been launched with this processor—the Asus EeePC 1015PEM ($370 street, 4 stars) and HP Mini 5103 ($650 direct, 4 stars)—the AOD255-1203 is undoubtedly the most inexpensive. But, you still get a full-size keyboard and over 7 hours of battery life.

Design
Less than an inch thick (10.2 by 7.5 by 0.8-inches), the AOD255 is Acer’s thinnest netbook available, and at 2.5 pounds, it’s the lightest too. Its color selection, though, boils down to taste, but Aquamarine blue is one of those colors that will either be swiped off the shelf or left there to rot. Thankfully, it’s available in other colors like Ruby Red, Sandstone, and Diamond Black. The maroon colored Asus 1015PEM, on the other hand, takes a more neutral approach to design. If fancy is what you’re after, the HP 5103 uses aluminum in its lid design.

More

The AOD255’s 10-inch wide screen with 1,024 by 600 resolution is a common feature found in most of the netbooks. Other netbooks, like the HP 5103 and Dell Inspiron Mini 10s (HD) ($425 direct, 3.5 stars), have options for a 1,366 by 768 resolution. Bigger netbooks, like the 12-inch Asus EeePC 1215N ($500 street, 4 stars), standardizes on a 1,366 by 768 resolution. In the 10-inch space, the AOD255-1203 is one of the three netbooks that squeeze in a full-size keyboard. Though it isn’t as responsive as the keyboard found in the Toshiba Mini NB305-N410 ($400 direct, 4.5 stars), it still renders an exceptional typing experience. Acer has also widened the touchpad, so it is now as large as that of the Asus 1015PEM, and has tuned out the clacking noises that used to come from the mouse buttons.

Features
Its features aren’t jaw-dropping, and you wouldn’t expect them to be traded at this price. The AOD255’s 3 USB ports, Ethernet, Multimedia Card slot, and Webcam are average add-ons for a netbook in terms of hardware. These features are the same as the ones found in Toshiba NB305-N410 and Asus 1015PEM. Even the 250GB (5,400rpm) hard drive is a standard fare. Spending more money on a netbook will move you up in the features chain: The HP 5103, for instance, ships with a faster spinning drive (7,200rpm); the Dell Mini 10s has an HD decoder card, for a smoother high-definition video playback; and the Asus 1215N features an HDMI port.

Upgrading the standard 1GB memory configuration (which the AOD255 has) to 2GB is a common netbook performance tweak. Unfortunately, the AOD255 doesn’t makes it easy to do. You’ll have to remove at least 7 screws in order to access the memory slot. The Asus 1015PEM’s memory slot, on other hand, is accessible by removing a single screw. Better yet, the HP 5103 has a tool-less panel: The latches that remove the battery also release the memory panel.

Performance
Since their inception, netbooks have used nothing but single-core processors, most of which are based on the Intel Atom platform. Only recently Intel did launch its mobile dual-core Atom, which is only available in a handful of netbooks. The AOD255 joins the Asus 1015PEM and HP 5103 in running on the Intel Atom N550 (1.5GHz). Before you get too excited, please note that performance improvements are only marginally higher than the single-core Atom N450 and N455 (1.67GHz). In SYSMark 2007 Preview tests, the AOD255 scored 42, which is about 10% better than the Toshiba NB305-N410 (38) and Dell Mini 10s (39). In Cinebench R11.5, its result of 0.48 was identical to that of the HP 5103 and Asus 1015PEM.

With little variation between components, the best battery scores are usually determined by the battery’s capacity. At 49WH, the AOD255 has one of the smallest batteries in this group, yielding a MobileMark 2007 score of 7 hours 42 minutes. With their bigger batteries, the HP 5103 (66WH), Asus 1015PEM (63WH), and Toshiba NB305-N410 (61WH) broke the 8-hour mark. Still, over 7 hours of battery life is long enough for a coast-to-coast flight.

There’s a lot to like about a netbook that keeps getting better, while consistently lowering its price. The Acer Aspire One AOD255-1203 is the most inexpensive netbook to give you a dual-core Atom processor, a full-size keyboard, and over 7 hours of battery life. Despite its list of accolades, however, it’s not the best netbook. The Toshiba mini NB305-N410, our Editors’ Choice, gives you 9 hours of battery life and the best typing and navigating experience on a netbook

Acer’s GN245HQ NVIDIA 3D Monitor review

For those who want a 3D monitor, Acer has the GN245HQ, a 24-inch monitor.

Of course, there are a lot of other 3D monitors out there, but what makes this different is that the infrared emitters that control the shutters of the 3D glasses are built-in the monitor instead of working with the USB IR emitter. This is different than NVIDIA’s 3D Vision system, and it frees up another USB slot.

Other features include a 120Hz refresh rate LED backlight and 1920 x 1080 (full HD) native resolution.

The Acer GN245HQ will be released in Europe around February for about $585.

Acer Aspire AS5742-7645 Design, Features and Performance

The Acer Aspire AS5742-7645 ($649.99 list), a Costco laptop, follows the basic script for successfully putting together a low-end mainstream laptop. It comes fitted with Intel's Core i3 processor, which provides great bang for the buck, sitting at the bottom rung of Intel's current mobile processor ladder. The CPU has a standard 4GB memory, coupled with integrated Intel graphics. The only core component that comes as a surprise is the 500GB hard drive, which is bigger than the 320GB drives generally found in competing models, such as the Sony VAIO VPC-EB33FM/BJ ($629.99, 4.5 stars)- the current Editors' Choice for the budget laptop category. The VAIO VPC-EB33FM/BJ, however, counts wireless HDMI and WiMAX broadband capabilities among its major attractions. These features are not found on the Aspire AS5742-7645. Still, if you can make due with a wired HDMI connection and 802.11n Wi-Fi, the Acer Aspire AS5742-7645 is something not to be overlooked. It offers great performance for the price, comes backed with a two-year warranty, and runs nearly an hour longer and weighs a smidge lesser than the award-winning Sony.

Design
The Acer Aspire AS5742-7645's design won't stop you as you scroll down the wide aisles of Costco. The laptop features a basic (read: boring) black plastic chassis, which has a textured design on the keyboard deck and a lid that resembles mesh or cross-hatching. The plastic feels thin, flexing in spots underneath your palms and fingertips while typing. The thin plastic chassis of the laptop makes it weigh a few ounces lighter than the Sony EB33FM/BJ; The AS5742-7645 weighs 5 pounds, and the Sony weighs 5.4 pounds.

I generally like chiclet-style or island keyboards, where each key is isolated. The AS5742-7645's keyboard is roomy, but the keys are very thin and flimsy, particularly if you don't hit each key at dead center. Unlike most island-key designs, where the keyboard tray comes up to the bottom edge of the keys, here the keyboard tray appears to be sunken down. Ultimately, leaving wide gaps between the keys and around the edges of the keyboard, making it more prone to dust and dirt accumulation beneath the keys. I prefer the island keyboard of the Sony EB33FM/BJ; the keys are more firm and doesn't have the wide spaces between and underneath the keys where grime can collect.

A dedicated number pad to the right of the keyboard results in a few keys being shortened, namely the Ctrl keys, the Tab key, and the four arrow keys, which are half the normal height. The Acer AS5742-7645 lacks media control keys and requires you to use the Function keys to adjust the volume and control your media.

One of the few drawbacks I found in the Sony EB33FM/BJ was its loud, clacky mouse buttons. But, you won't turn heads in the coffee shop with each mouse click on the AS5742-7645, yet it's not an ideal setup either. The laptop features a single, rocker-style mouse button. It's quite firm to press unless you are clicking on either end of the button. The touchpad is responsive that features a matte surface and support for multi-touch gestures, such as, two-finger scrolling and pinch zooming.

The 15.6-inch widescreen display of the AS5742-7645 laptop has a standard resolution of 1366 by 768. The screen is bright, with vivid colors and crisp edges, particularly during our test running 720p HD movie trailers on Apple's site. The laptop's stereo speakers are merely adequate, but that's common amongst most budget models. You'll also want to keep a pair of headphones or a set of external speakers. A 1.3-megapixel Webcam is just above the display.

Features
An HDMI connection is the highlight of a standard collection of ports, which includes 3 USB 2.0 ports, a VGA port, the Ethernet jack, and the multi-format media card reader. The Sony EB33FM/BJ features these ports and slots in addition to an eSATA port and a 34 slot ExpressCard. The VAIO VPC-EB33FM/BJ also serves the Intel Wireless Display (WiDi), which let's you send video and audio signals from the laptop to the HDTV's HDMI port without the need for cables.

The Sony EB33FM/BJ also trumps the AS5742-7645 in terms of networking. It provides WiMAX for city-wide mobile broadband coverage (with an accompanying $40 monthly subscription), while the AS5742-7645 provides only the basics: Wired Ethernet and 802.11n Wi-Fi connections.

The AS5742-7645 also has the advantage in hard drive capacity, delivering 500GB (5,400rpm) of storage space to the Sony EB33FM/BJ's 320GB. But, the Acer's hard drive comes with its fair share of bloatware. Power the laptop on for the first time, and you'll find it littered with desktop icons for trial offers for Netflix, McAfee Internet Security Suite, and Norton Online Backup. There's also a shortcut for eBay, because typing those four letters into your browser can be such a chore. You'll also find the Barnes & Noble Desktop Reader and The New York Times Reader, which is good only if you have a Times subscription.

I was doubly impressed with the warranty. Typically, a consumer laptop is backed by one year of parts-and-labor coverage. One of the advantages of buying a laptop from Costco is that it comes backed with a two-year warranty.

Performance
Acer Aspire AS5742-7645 With a 2.4GHz Intel Core i3-370M processor and 4GB of DDR3 memory, the AS5742-7645 turned in an admirable showing in the labs. It offers a clear performance advantage over the Pentium-class laptops that are priced near the $500 mark, such as Acer's own Aspire AS5742Z-4097 ($499.99, 3 stars) and Gateway NV55C03u ($479.99, 3 stars). For instance, the Core i3-370M-based AS5742-7645 outflanked its Pentium P6100-based doppelganger, the AS5742Z-4097, by 23 percent on PCMark Vantage. It was also much faster than the AMD Turion II P540-based HP Pavilion dv6-3122us ($649.98 list, 3.5 stars), trouncing the dv6-3122us by a whopping 37 percent on PCMark Vantage, by 27 percent on our Handbrake benchmark test, and by 21 percent on our Photoshop CS5 test. The AS5742-7645 and Sony EB33FM/BJ posted similar scores through lab testing, which comes as no surprise owing to their similar configuration. In Anecdotal testing, Windows 7 Home Premium felt peppy and responsive, even under heavy multitasking scenarios. It has more than enough oomph for the vast majority of mainstream users.

It also has enough battery power for mainstream mobile users. The Aspire AS5742-7645 features a standard 6-cell (48WHr) battery, but it ran for 5 hours 24 minutes on our MobileMark 2007 battery test. That's nearly an hour more than the Sony EB33FM/BJ's time of 4 hours 33 minutes. However, we were impressed with Sony's battery time. Meaning, we're doubly impressed with the AS5742-7645's battery life!

There is nothing to prevent a strong recommendation for the Acer Aspire AS5742-7645. Though its thin, plastic chassis reveals a bit of its budget status, but for home users who don't expect to heap daily abuse upon the machine during commutes or treks to class, the laptop serves up as a useful, if not expensive, feature set. While strong performance, outstanding battery life, and long warranty being add-ons.

Last November, Acer has declared war overall segment of the tablet. The Taiwanese company said it wanted to conquer the field, beating the competition, thanks to an important and diverse range of digital tablets.

The progenitor of the series is Acer Iconia Tablet, a notebook dual 14-inch screen with virtual keyboard, Intel Core i5 and Windows 7 operating system. This model, however, other versions will follow, which differ in design, pricing and technical configuration.

Acer Debuts New E-Reader, Android Phone

For those who feel there’s not enough choice in e-readers or smartphones, here are some new options. Acer is showing a new e-reader and smartphone that more than anything else add clutter to the category. The two devices will be shown at Computex, one of the largest trade shows for PC makers held every year in Tapei, Taiwan.

Acer’s new e -reader called LumiRead will have a 6-inch E Ink display, 2 GB flash memory (good for about 1500 books) with the option to add a MicroSD card, and a QWERTY keyboard.

There’s also an ISBN scanner built into the device so users can scan ISBN codes on the books to create their own wish list or search online libraries and book stores.

Like the Alex e-reader or Amazon’s Kindle, Acer’s LumiRead will have a internet browser and connect wirelessly using 3G or Wi-Fi.

Acer has signed agreements with Barnes & Noble and Libri.de, a German internet book retailer to offer e-books. The device will launch in the U.S. in the third quarter and be available in China and Germany towards the end of the year.

Acer isn’t talking price, which will be key to the device’s success. The e-reader market is flooded with Kindle clones and the arrival of yet another device is hardly likely to get consumers’ attention. The ISBN code-scanning feature aside, the LumiRead feels rather pedestrian and unless Acer can beat Sony’s $170 Pocket Edition e-reader, it is difficult to see how LumiRead can get ahead.

Separately, Acer also announced a new smartphone called Stream. The Android-powered phone will have a3.7-inch touchscreen OLED display, 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz processor, 512 MB RA and 2 GB of internal memory.

“Acer Stream is a high-end multimedia smartphone, optimized for watching movies, listening to music and enjoying web browsing like at home,” says Acer in a statement. “Perfect for most demanding users who look for the best in entertainment.”

That means HD video recording up to 720p, 5-megapixel camera, a GPS system that allows photos and videos to be geotagged and a HDMI port. The phone will run Android version 2.1 aka ‘Éclair.’

Based on the specs, the Stream sounds a lot like the Nexus One. It’s likely that Acer will launch the device in Asia and Europe only. After all, the Nexus One and the HTC EVO 4G blow the Stream out of the competition in the U.S.

Acer hasn’t announced telecom carriers or pricing for the Stream.
