Acer's new laptop stops by the FCC

Recently, the news has mostly revolved around the fresh AMD 8 Series motherboards and the newly released Intel Gulftown six-core CPU, but things are mostly starting to go back to normal. This means that the web is taking notice of other leaks besides just GTX 400 box photos or ROG motherboards, which include the always revelatory and steady inflow of FCC filings. One of the most recent products tested by the Federal Communications Commission is a multi-named Acer laptop running the Windows 7 operating system.

As is the case with most FCC filings, details regarding the specifications are incomplete, considering that connectivity capabilities are the main focus of FCC tests. The Acer JV10/AO721/AS1830T looks like a sort of cross-breed between entry-level laptops and netbooks. It is not based on Pine Trail and also has a screen size larger than the netbook standard 10.1-inch, but it is optimized for portability and does not have any particularly powerful insides.

What could be found out was that the central processor is an Arrandale model, possibly the Intel Core i5-520UM. This chip is backed up by 2GB of RAM and a hard disk drive with a storage capacity of either 160GB or 320GB. As for the display itself, the screen measures 11.6 inches and receives video input from the integrated graphics.

The connectivity and I/O capabilities of the device, at least those that are known, are not exactly extensive. The laptop, unsurprisingly, boasts Gigabit Ethernet and WiFi, but also features mobile broadband connectivity. Finally, the mobile PC runs the Microsoft Windows 7 home Premium operating system.

The product launch should not be too far off but, as is the case with most, if not all, FCC leaks, there is no word on when and where the gadget will become available, nor is there any information on its price.
