Acer has carried its promise to build up a netbook with built in Android operating system with the debut of the restructured Aspire One AOD250.
Featuring a dual-boot option, the model operates with both Android and Windows XP.
Continuing a demanding time for Acer products release, the Aspire One AOD250 features the option of booting up in Android for a faster “instant on” option, as opposed to waiting for the Windows OS to load. The system offers a “one-click” OS switching function, allowing the user the choice to switch to the OS depending on the difficulty of the available task.
In its initial days yet for the unification of Android and netbooks, with the OS conventionally inclined towards smartphones. Android comes pre-loaded with a number of applications and brings full Flash support, and while a user can boot up rapidly to check emails and the like, more multifaceted tasks will need a switch to Windows XP.
Much like the earlier version of the same name, the more efficient AOD250 weighs less than 3lbs, features a 10.1-inch CrystalBrite backlit LED display, 160GB HDD and 1GB RAM, this time with a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 processor. Integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Intel GMA 950 graphics, as well as a Crystal Eye webcam, microphone and a Multi-Gesture Touchpad are also part of the package. A 6-cell battery is standard, which provides around six hours of life on a single charge. Available in four colors, the Acer Aspire One AOD250 with dual-boot is retailing from US$349.99.
