The Acer Aspire One 522 10 inch netbook and Aspire One 722 11.6 inch were both originally equipped with a 1 GHz AMD C-50 processors and Radeon HD 6250 graphics. Today, Notebook Italia found out that each will get the new AMD C-60 chip with more powerful Radeon HD 6290 graphics.
While you still won’t get desktop-class performance out of the new chips, they should offer more power without actually using more energy. The C-60 chip has a TDP of 9W, just like the older C-50 processor.
Acer’s Aspire One 522 netbook features a 10. 1inch, 1280 x 720 pixel display and 1GB or more of RAM.
The Aspire One 722 has an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, up to 4GB of RAM and up to 500GB of hard drive space.
Both laptops have 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 6 cell batteries, and flash card readers.
No word yet on UK availability, but in Europe they’re on the market for 250 Euros and 400 Euros, respectively.
