After we were able to this year's IFA in Berlin, a working model of a fusion APU from AMD to marvel at the development went in the meantime without stopping. Meanwhile, there have now done so already some chips in the development departments of various manufacturers, and so now Acer has announced a 10 inch netbook on the basis of the Brazos platform, which sounds very promising.
This design is not essentially new, it was almost exactly copied from the Aspire One 255, but the more important differences among them are anyway. Core of the whole thing, the AMD C-50 "Ontario" to be APU, the Bobcat two cores, each with 1.0 GHz and a Radeon HD 6250 graphics is unity. All this results in a TDP of 9W, but contains the UVD3 that accelerates video playback, and support for DirectX 11
A component for full HD support is still lacking. And that you have this also installed a little surprised at the size of the device: the appropriate screen. This has a diagonal of 10.1 inches and is designed to provide according to our source, a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, with the standard resolution of 1280 x 768 is better - in both cases, however, HD resolution. are matched by equallyan HDMI output as well as all the other usual connections. However, when only a single speaker AO522 present, this should not interfere.
Something unfortunate is that the battery life should be "only" 6 hours. Although should both CPU and GPU performance have increased greatly, but the term is still the most important thing in such a mobile companion. Whether that screen is to blame we can not say exactly.
More details will probably be at CES in early January, product launch, but should still be in the first quarter.
