Acer has updated its AspireRevo nettop and now sports an all new design with improved performance. The AspireRevo AR3700 comes in dark-blue chassis and features Intel Atom D525 dual-core processor with Nvidia ION graphics supporting playback of full HD movies and graphic-intensive games.

As far as rest of the specs goes, the AR3700 has Windows 7 Home Premium OS, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 250GB SATA HDD, Wi-Fi 802.11n, USB 2.0 and HDMI ports and support for VESA mounting.

Acer AspireRevo nettop is currently available in the US for $349.99.

Press Release

Acer will soon be launching Aspire One 533 with a new design. Like the AO521, this netbook will also sport the same chrome-accented logo but will have more chrome accents surrounding the touchpad buttons and near the hinge.

As for the hardware, the netbook is said to be a “refresh” with Atom processor options of N455 and N475 that support DDR3 RAM. Apart from that, you’d find connectivity options of Wi-Fi, 3G, optional Bluetooth 3.0+HS, webcam and a 10 hours battery life.

No word on the pricing or availability.

Acer will soon be releasing a new Aspire One netbook powered by an AMD processor. Macles, who’s spot on Acer’s upcoming products claims AO521 will be powered by AMD V105 processor. The netbook won’t be the fastest one around since the CPU is clocked at 1.2GHz but will boast decent graphics performance with the integrated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 graphics and 384MB dedicated memory. Additionally, the netbook will have an HDMI port, Bluetooth 3.0+HS and a compact charger known as MiniGo. No details on the pricing or availability though.

Macles has published pictures and info of an upcoming ultraportable notebook from Acer. The Aspire TimelineX 1830T will be yet another 11.6-inch notebook supporting 1366×768 resolution but its major differentiation will be the integration of Core i5 CPUs. This offering sports a Core i5-520UM processor clocking at 1.06GHz and can go up to 1.86GHz with the help of Intel’s Turbo Boost. Additionally, it features Intel’s HM55 chipset, two memory slots, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI, SPDIF, optional 3G, card reader, USB 2.0 ports and a battery capable of giving up to 8 hours. Price is unknown but Macles reckons it to be unveiled in the last week of this month.

Meanwhile, Digitimes is claiming that Acer is readying to launch this Calpella Timeline series on March 22 (Acer Taiwan says March 30). Although the report does not mention the 1830T, it does hint about notebooks ranging 13- to 15-inches and having a battery life of up to 8 hours.

Acer has made its Ion powered Aspire Revo nettop official in India. Sadly, the Revo won’t come with an upgraded dual-core Atom but with the regular Atom 230 processor. Other specs include 160GB HDD, GeForce 9400 integrated graphics, 2GB RAM, 4-in-1 card reader and number of ports including USB, VGA, HDMI and eSATA. For an asking price of around Rs. 24,000, a user will get a webcam, wireless keyboard and mouse and speakers.

The first Ion powered nettop will soon get stronger. Acer will be upgrading its Aspire Revo offering to integrate hardware that will significantly improve nettop’s performance. The new configuration will include a dual-core Atom 330 CPU, 4GB RAM and storage now up to 500GB. The OS remains unchanged to Vista Home Premium and is priced at 349 Euros for a 320GB HDD variant and 399 Euros for the 500GB one.

It looks like we’ll finally have a netbook that will break the Atom mold. As rumored before, Acer is prepping 1810T from the Timeline series that is fitted in a slightly modified Aspire One 751’s chassis.

The spec sheet includes the same 11.6-inch screen with 1,366×768 resolution but here is where it gets better – 1.4GHz S3500 CULV CPU with Intel GS45 chipset, RAM support of up to 4GB, integrated GMA 4500HD coupled with hardware accelerated HD video decoding, HDMI, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, webcam, optional 3G and Bluetooth and a whopping 8 hours of battery life.

The netbook will come with Vista Home Premium but since Windows 7 is just around the corner, Acer will dish out a free upgrade to Windows 7.

Another day another rumor emerges from the Taiwanese shores. The heart of the rumor today is Acer and its ultra-thin notebook Timeline series. Apparently, due to the not so pleasing sales of Acer’s 11.6-inch netbook, its OEM, Quanta Computer has been asked to develop an 11.6-inch ultra-thin notebook.

Ultra-thin chassis means it will fall under its Timeline series and boast more powerful specs that will help to drive its sales. This of course, will be done only after they’ll get rid of its netbook offering, which will be by the way to either discontinue the netbook variant or reduce the price of it.

Acer has brought its ultra-thin Aspire Timeline series notebooks to the United States. Three notebooks – 13.3-inch AS3810, 14-inch AS4810 and 15.6-inch AS5810 – will be sold under the series with a price varying from $598 to $900. The USP of the notebooks are its thin form factor that measures just under an inch and a humongous battery life. Use of LED backlit display, Intel’s ULV processors and high-capacity 6-cell battery helps to attain a battery life of up to 8 hours.
