Acer Aspire One D150 Launched in India

Acer has introduced the new 10.1-inch Aspire One D150 laptop in India. Announced last month, Aspire One D150 is ideal for first time computer buyers at a price point of Rs. 20,999. This Aspire One D150 model will be available from March 20 at all Croma outlets across India.


After the 8.9-inch Aspire One, Acer hits the netbook segment with a 10-inch version offering 1024 x 600 pixels as the native resolution. The Aspire One D150 has a 10.1 WSVGA LCD display featuring Acer CrystalBrite technology.

Equipped with the 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, Acer packs in a Intel 945GSE chipset that features Intel GMA950 graphics. Aspire One D150 comes with 1GB DDR2 memory and allows the adding of up to 2GB DDR2 memory.

For a change, Acer includes Windows XP with Service Pack 3 pre-loaded in the AOD150 as compared to Linpus Linux Lite OS available in previous models. A multi-touch trackpad and a six-cell Li-ion battery are the novel features of this netbook.

Aspire One D150 promises up to five hours of battery life with a six-cell Li-ion battery. Other specifications include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Acer Crystal Eye Webcam, and USB ports. In terms of performance, the Aspire One D150's performance levels nearly equals the Lenovo IdeaPad S10e and other netbooks falling in the 10-inch screen category.

Our Test Labs guys believe that this Aspire One model is certainly a good option over the existing MSI Wind, Asus Eee PC, and Lenovo IdeaPad models on grounds of price - Rs. 20,999.
