Pre-Orders Possible for Acer Aspire One 722 AMD Fusion Laptop

While the waiting is not yet over for those that want this particular mobile computer, it seems that, at the very least, listings of the Acer Aspire One 722 have begun to crop up online.

Advanced Micro Devices may not have been part of the mobile PC market for as long as Intel has, but it looks like its Fusion technology did leave a mark.

Then again, one could say that, in this case, the Brazos platform is about to leave a mark, since the netbook Acer developed has yet to start selling.

The device in question is dubbed Aspire One 722, has now been listed and is an 11.6-inch machine with hardware revolving around the dual-core C-50 APU (accelerated processing unit).

Said processor has a core clock speed of 1 GHz and includes the built-in Radeon HD 6250 graphics.

The fact that it is based on AMD hardware is the main reason the product doesn't stick to the standard size of netbooks, namely the 10.1 inches that Intel has been imposing.

The aforementioned chip is backed up by 2 GB of RAM (random access memory), which is more than enough to handle the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

What's more, the hard disk drive has a storage capacity of 250 GB, while the screen features HD support (the native resolution is of 1,366 x 768 pixels).

Other specifications include a 0.3 megapixel webcam, an HDMI port (for streaming to an auxiliary HDTV or monitor) and, of course, Ethernet and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi.

Finally, all the hardware is kept running by a 6-cell battery that can last for up to 7 hours on a single charge.

Of course, the ripple design on the lid of the Acer Aspire one 722 remains one of its main selling points, although Acer also offers some extras, like the Office Starter 2010 software suite. Amazon already has the aquamarine and espresso black machines on pre-order.
