Acer Aspire One 521, 721 and Aspire 1551 raid AMD's 2010 CPU catalog

AMD have no sooner announced their new 2010 ultrathin processor line-up, and Acer have slapped various chips from it into their latest ultraportables and netbooks.  The Acer Aspire One 521, Aspire One 721 and Aspire 1551 all thoroughly plunder AMD's new catalog, the Aspire One 521 getting a single-core 1.2GHz AMD V105 and ATI Radeon HD 4225 GPU and the Aspire One 721 packing a 1.3GHz AMD Athlon II Neo K325 together with ATI Radeon HD 4225 GPU. Finally the Aspire 1551 gets an AMD Turion II Neo dual-core processor, AMD M880G chipset and ATI Radeon HD 4225 graphics.  NetbookNews grabbed hands-on time with some of the new models, and you can see their videos after the cut.Video demos after the cut
