Acer Aspire One D255 Reviews
Acer Aspire One D255 review
Despite the rise of tablet devices, the netbook market still charges on. The Acer Aspire One D255 (£286 inc. VAT) is one of the latest and, with manufacturers looking to set their products apart from the rest, runs the smartphone-centric Android (2.1) operating system (OS), as well as Windows 7.The exact model we have here is the Acer Aspire One D255-N55QDr.The 10.1-inch screen is very comfortable to use thanks to the lack of a shiny screen coating, and so is easy to read in all light conditions. Having said that, we would have liked it to be a little brighter. Colours appear a bit washed out, making this more suited to office work than viewing movies. Solid build Build quality is good and this is a machine that will take quite a bit of punishment on the road, which is where this netbook is likely to spend most of its time. We were extremely impressed by the Acer's keyboard. It is large, firm and provides a very crisp typing action – one of the best we've experienced on a machine of this size, making it ideally suited for those who need to write a lot on the move. Similarly, the touchpad is exceptionally easy to use, which is not always the case with netbooks.
Acer Aspire One D255 Review
What difference a dual-core? As we've seen from the ASUS Eee PC 1215N, just because an ultraportable might be called a netbook, it doesn't mean it's necessarily short on power. Still, the ASUS Aspire One D255 doesn't get NVIDIA's Optimus GPU to bolster its appeal, nor a desktop Atom CPU co-opted into mobile duty. Instead it offers the dualcore 1.5GHz Atom N550 and a mere 1GB of RAM. Are we expecting too much from this budget machine? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut. Acer's Aspire One netbook range has been running almost as long as ASUS' Eee PC line, and by now the company has got the industrial design down to a fine art. No expensive metal or unnecessary finishes, just a lightweight shell that's a mere 0.8-inches thick and 2.5lbs, a nicely sprung, full-sized chiclet keyboard, and a broad multitouch-capable trackpad that's easy to use. We're not 100-percent convinced by the blue color of our review model, but Acer also offer other variants. Inside there's Intel's latest dualcore Atom processor, the N550 running at 1.5GHz. While it may have a slightly slower clock speed than the N-series Atoms we're used to seeing in netbooks, it also has that extra core to make up for things.
