It seems that Acer is no longer dealing in just 10-inch netbooks, having also prepared a certain laptop which, although featuring what one may call entry-level performance capabilities, has a larger than usual screen.
AMD's Fusion platform definitely seems to have gained a widespread adoption among makers of mobile personal computers, and the newest Aspire One
proves it.
Along with that particular model, however, the company, jointly with eMachines, delivered another laptop, one that, from certain points of view, fits into both the netbook and notebook categories.
It is dubbed eMD644 and measures 14 inches in diagonal, its display being a LED-backlit TFT LCD with a glare panel display (its resolution was not mentioned).
The insides revolve around the AMD Dual-core E-350 accelerated processing unit and the AMD A50M Fusion Controller Hub chipset.
The chip has a clock speed of 1.6 GHz and the built-in Radeon HD 6310 graphics processing unit, which boasts support for Open EXR High Dynamic-Range (HDR) technology.
The same graphics processor also handles Shader model 5.0, DirectX 11, OpenCL 1.1, OpenGL 3.1 and the Unified Video Decoder 3 (UVD3).
There was mention of 2 GB of DDR3, as well as of a hard disk drive with a storage capacity of 500 GB, plus a built-in 8x DVD SuperMulti double-layer optical disk drive.
Needless to say, the expected range of connectivity (LAN, WiFi etc.) and I/O options (USB, audio, memory card etc.) is present.
Finally, an HDMI output will allow for streaming of high quality video to HDTVs or high-end monitors.
Unfortunately, as was the case with the aforementioned netbook, nothing was said of the price that this newcomer will sport once it finally debuts.
Either way, considering that this is a 14.-inch notebook with specs just slightly above those of netbooks, the price tag shouldn't turn out to be overly high.
