Netbook India

Acer has launched an updated version of D250 in India for a Rs 18,599.  It allows user to dual-boot between Windows XP and Android.

Along with the dual-OS, it also includes Acer-customized Firefox browser. Specs have remained unchanged.

• Intel Atom N280 processor with 512KB L2 cache
• Intel GMA 950 chipset
• 160GB HDD
• 1GB RAM

It is sad to no upgrades in specs. We expected atleast a Windows 7 and HDD upgrade from Acer, but can forgive Acer for that for that low price.

It will be interesting to see how this netbook performs in the market where Android devices have not taken off a big deal yet.

Acer’s Android netbook is available at Amazon.com for pre-order. 10.1” Acer Aspire D250 netbook with two operating systems: Windows XP and Google Android. Has an Intel Atom N280 processor, 10.1-inch display with 1024×600 resolution, WiFi b/g/n, 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM and 6-cell battery.
