Late last month Acer officially rolled out the new Aspire One D250 netbook, a 10-inch system that further expands the company’s line of small-sized, low-power portable PCs. Unlike previous Aspire One netbooks, the new model provides users with support for either an Intel Atom N270 or an Atom N280 processor and comes with a slimline design that makes the D250 distinguish itself from all the other netbooks on the market. On that note, it appears that the very first unboxing video of the latest Aspire One netbook has just surfaced on the Internet.

 

Although the video is in Norwegian, it provides a pretty general idea of what to expect from the latest Aspire netbook. At first glance, the D250 appears to be a sleek and good-looking netbook, enabling its users to easily upgrade their RAM, hard drive and add a mini-PCI card. Overall, it looks like a slimmed-down version of Acer's first 10-inch netbook, launched earlier this year, in January.

 

As far as technical specifications go, the Aspire One D250 is equipped with an Atom N280 CPU, has a 10.1-inch LED backlit display with a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels, 1GB of RAM (with support for up to 2GB of RAM memory), a 160GB hard drive, 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Additional features include a 0.3MP webcam, a 6-cell 4400 mAH battery pack, a multitouch mousepad and a Windows XP operating system.

 

Unfortunately we have no details as to when the new netbook will become available worldwide. Also, we are still to find out the price of Acer's new Aspire One D250 netbook. In addition, we are still waiting for some more details regarding two other netbooks that have surfaced Acer's website, the Aspire One 531 and the 731, both of which are featured with a display larger than 8.9 inches.
