New Acer Aspire One AO721 netbook hits FCC site

A new netbook has popped up for testing at the good old FCC site yesterday, the Acer Aspire One AO721. It has several interesting new features including a 3G modem and what appears to be an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. It also has a nice textured surface on the top to keep away the fingerprints.

Here are the specs that we can gather from the photos:

  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
  • Ram: up to 4GB
  • OS: Windows 7
  • Display: 11.6″
  • ports: 3 x usb, VGA, HDMI out
  • 802.11 b/g/n wifi, 3G hspa wireless
  • 160GB hd

This netbook is actually part of the “Timeline” series so it will be a little pricier than your average Aspire One, but as you can see by the specs you get a whole lot more for your money. Here are some more pics:

Notice the Core 2 Duo sticker on the bottom left of the keyboard.

2 RAM slots, for up to 4GB of RAM.

They still stuck with the old style of keyboard, but with all of the other features this will be a very nice netbook when it comes out.

*update*  This netbook will feature an Intel Core i5-520UM processor which varies from 1GHz to 1.86GHz depending on usage and is called the Acer Aspire One 1830T- via slashgear
