It would help if you could understand Italian, but this video from PC Professionale speaks the universal language of “break out the screwdrivers” as it dismantles Acer’s new Aspire One budget ultraportable. There’s good news and bad in terms of upgrade potential; looks like networking and connectivity are most flexible, with storage lagging behind.
Check out the [...]
Acer are describing their new P5260i WiFi projector as for “professionals”, but I don’t see why people in suits should have all the fun. The XGA 1024 x 768 resolution unit features WiFi b/g-based technology that allows straightforward streaming of 720p/1080i high-definition video wirelessly rather than by a dull old cable. Yes, it’s intended for [...]
With Computex 2008 came more budget ultraportable news than many of us could stomach this week, as several manufacturers took the opportunity to confirm their machines (most of them previewed to death beforehand) and legions of others attempted to get their foot in the OEM door. ASUS finally took the wraps off the Eee PC [...]
With all the Atom-powered notebooks on show at Computex, you’d be excused for thinking that Intel’s manufacturing shortfall was long past. Not true, worried out loud Asustek’s Jerry Shen; both the new Eee PC 901 and 1000, together with the Eee Box B202, are powered by the 1.6GHz processor. While denying that Atom availability would seriously impact [...]
Acer’s entrant to the budget ultraportable fray, the Aspire One which we first saw last week, has been made official. As expected, the notebook is based on Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom processor, has an 8.9-inch display (though 1024 x 600 rather than 1024 x 768 as was predicted) and comes as standard with a Linux OS [...]
The major news this week came out of Google’s IO Conference, with the Android team unveiling the latest build of the mobile platform and a slick touchscreen handset to demonstrate it on. We usually leave cellphone news to our sister sites PHONE Magazine and SlashPhone, but the Android handset - complete with compass-navigated Street View [...]
Feel free to groan and say “not another one”; photos purporting to be Acer’s challenge to the Eee/Wind/2133/etc range of budget ultraportables have shown up, together with some basic spec details. Believed to be called the Aspire One, the notebook has an 8.9-inch, 1024 X 768 display. It also, apparently, runs Windows XP SP3 and [...]
After a few weeks of budget, mobile laptops grabbing the headlines, its been the turn of monstrous gaming machines to storm the limelight. Acer announced their first serious gamer’s desktop, the Aspire Predator, which is intended to take the breed out of the boutique and into mainstream computer stores. Alienware struck back with an updated [...]
When Acer launched their Aspire Predator gaming PC range on Wednesday, little did they realise that bit-tech were lurking in the wings waiting to clinically dissect their offerings (and literally dissect what turned out to be an unexpectedly fragile drive-cage door). Acer are apparently aiming the Predator line at the high-street, rather than the more usual “online [...]
According to Acer’s dramatic tagline, their new Predator gaming PC range is “Faster. Deeper. Harder. Further.” The metallic orange desktop certainly catches the eye, though I’m not sure everyone will appreciate the looks (or the mechanical drive bay cover, which reminds me of a trash lorry mechanism); however what will likely impress is the guts of [...]
