Acer Aspire One D255 to pack dual core Atom processor
Many new Acer mini laptops were announced lately and this means the guys at Acer take seriously their position as best netbooks sellers. In order to face the impressive new lines from Asus, they’ve upgraded their products too. Now, it’s time for details about the Acer AOD255 to emerge.
This netbook will be a compact 10 incher with the same new design we’ve seen on the latest Acers. Can’t say for sure whether the casing is glossy or matte, but my hands is on glossy.
In fact, the only difference between the D255 and other Acers like D260 (which will be their mainstream option), is the CPU inside: the new Intel Atom N550 dual-core. A low-consumption processor meant to boost performance on these small notebooks, the D550 is a dual core and packs Hyper-Threading, so we should see noticeable improvements in multitasking. There are no details regarding other specs, but expect 1-2 GB of memory, 250-320 GB hard-drive and Windows 7.

No details on prices or availability either, but it’s good to see other dual-core powered 10 inchers entering the market, this one joining the much awaited Asus EEE PC 1015N. Hopefully, others will join too.
