Acer updates its netbook range with the new Acer Aspire One D257

The ultraportable market does not go through a good time. Harassed on several fronts for tablets, tablet-convertible ultra-thin laptops and even smartphones, these small teams quietly updated its benefits to waiting to see how the market evolves. The Acer Aspire One D257 is proof of this approach conservative.

The Taiwanese have entered a handful of improvements over the Acer Aspire One D255, but there is nothing revolutionary, which does not mean it is a good choice for anyone looking netbook. Physically, the Acer Aspire One D257 is almost canonical. Their dimensions are in accordance with the format 10.1-inch screen (1024 × 600), with 24 mm thick and weighing 1.2 kilos very content (1.3 to six-cell battery).

The keyboard takes advantage of everything the width of the casing to reach 93% of standard size. On the outside, a wave and white embossed, chocolate and aqua are the highest awards in design. The Acer Aspire One D257 incorporates dual-core processors Intel Atom N570 or N550 to a 1.50Mhz 1.66Mhz.

In both cases the available RAM is 1 or 2GB of DDR3 RAM. The storage is provided by drives 250, 320 or 500GB depending on the version for some reason, Acer continues to decline to give a boost to the graphic part of this series netbook. The D257 relies on a visual power Intel GMA 3150 integrated graphics with 64 MB of memory, and still does not include HDMI.

However, it does include support for high-definition audio, but does not specify what standards. Equipped with WiFi N and Bluetooth 3.0, the port away from the D257 comes complete with three USB 2.0 and SD card slot, xD and Memory Stick. The battery is a three-cell series with theoretical autonomy of about four hours.

For only 100 grams of weight we can extend that range to 8 hours (theoretical) with a six-cell battery. The Acer Aspire One D257 is the latest of the latest and is missing to better support high-definition content, however, is a stylish netbook and components, apparently, pretty solid. What we do not know is neither its price nor its date of release.
