Laptopmag has one of the first reviews up of the new D260 netbook from Acer. Basically it is cheap, thin, light and gets the job done but also suffers from a low battery life and lackluster performance.
The D260 features the new Intel Atom 1.83GHz N470 processor but is still slower in most tests than netbooks with the older N450 processor. Here are the full specs:
- Display: 10.1″ 1024 x 600 LCD backlit display
- Processor: 1.83GHz Intel Atom N470
- Graphics: Intel GMA 3150
- HD: 250GB
- Memory: 1GB RAM
- OS: Windows 7 starter
- Weight: 2.6 lbs
- Width: 0.9 inches
- Battery life: 5 hours
- 802.11 b/g wifi
- 3 x usb ports, 1.3MP webcam, etc
The high points of the D260 are its lightweight and thin design, extra large trackpad and low price ($299).
