Usually we don’t get excited over yet another netbook release but two new models from Acer the Acer Aspire One 521 10.1 inch netbook and Acer Aspire One 721 11.6 inch netbook might raise some interest from us as they are not yet another Intel Atom packing netbooks. Instead of the Intel’s week Intel Atom platform they feature a more powerful combination of a 1.7GHz Athlon II Neo K125 processor (don’t get fooled by the ‘II’ symbol in the name as this is a single core processor) and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics that promise 1080p video playback. That all sounds good to us but usually AMD platforms are way behind the Intel platforms in terms of battery life. Read the full review at Engadget to find out if that’s the case.

Wanted an 11.6 inch notebook that delivers more power then an average netbook yet doesn’t cost much more. Say hello to Acer Aspire One 752 that features pretty much same chassis design as its dual core Acer Aspire 1810T brother but packs a slower single core Intel Celeron M.

Acer also joins the Intel Pine Trail party with Acer Aspire One 532 10.1 inch Netbook. Felix Sold at NotebookCheck posted a review and thinks that the aside from longer battery life that Intel Pine Trail brings there is nothing special about the Acer Aspire One 532 apart from stylish and somewhat elegant chassis design.
