The ultra-portable market is not a good time. Harassed on several fronts by tablets, notebooks, convertible tablets ultrafine and even smartphones, these small teams quietly updated its benefits waiting to see how the market develops.

The acer Aspire one d257 is good proof of this conservative guidance. The Taiwanese has introduced a handful of improvements on the Acer Aspire One D255, but there is nothing revolutionary, which does not mean to be a good option for who is looking for a netbook.

Physically, the acer Aspire one d257 is almost canonical. Their dimensions conform to the format screen of 10.1 inch (1024 × 600), with 24 mm thickness and a very content mass 1.2 kg (with 6 cell battery 1.3). Keyboard takes everything the width of the enclosure to reach 93% of the standard size. Outside, a wave in relief and white colors, chocolate and aquamarine are their maximum concessions to the design.

The acer Aspire one d257 incorporates dual core processor Intel Atom N570 to 1.66 Mhz or N550 to 1.50 Mhz. In both cases the available RAM is 1 or 2 GB of DDR3 RAM. The storage is provided by hard disk of 250, 320 or 500 GB depending on version

For some reason, Acer still declining to give a little push to the graphics of this series of netbook. The D257 entrusts its visual power integrated graphics Intel GMA 3150 with 64 MB of memory, and still does not incorporate HDMI. However, does include support for audio in high definition, although it does not specify that standards.

Equipped with WiFi N and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, the ports of the D257 section is completed with three USB 2.0 and SD, xD, and Memory Stick card slot. The battery in series is a three cells with theoretical range of four hours. By only 100 grams more we can extend this autonomy until 8 p.m. (theoretical) with a six cell battery.

The acer Aspire one d257 is not as cutting edge and is missing a better support to contents of high definition, however, is a netbook with components, in appearance and stylish, pretty solid. We do not yet know is neither price nor release date.

They want to have it ready by the end of 2011, and according to our information the only available hardware with these characteristics is that of Nvidia. If there was any doubt about the veracity of the information, they come from the mouth of Jerry Shen, current CEO of ASUS.

Interesting to know also about tablets sales forecasts in 2012, and it is that Asus intends to fight for second place on the market, with Sony?, and estimated a percentage from 5 to 8% of the total number of tablets. If you don't want the number one is that it is already giving by fact that Apple will be front, am not so sure what will sell more tablets than Samsung.

In order to assess their developments with regard to the reference, iPad, Jerry Shen recognizes that the ecosystem and Apple's software is a step ahead, but they are going to propose more advanced hardware and screens. Like Samsung in yesterday, the leaders of the competition seem to have attacks of sincerity.

The CEO of the Taiwanese company has also commented on the design strategy of hardware that Apple is following, and is that despite being leaving him quite well, in the future we will be symptoms of weakness to proposals of NvidiaQualcomm and Texas Instruments. For him, the Google partnership with Nvidia is the smarter choice.

You will be ask, but I am sure that they will have a terminal with the new operating system from Microsoft, they will do so at that time by assessing the impact of Nokia on the platform, which all mean that it will be very positive.

In regards to Android, terminals double core are in the calendar for 2011 and four nuclei in the following. We hope to see real products in a short time rather than promises and specifications that we assume common to other manufacturers.

Finally also has informed us that they will have netbooks with MeeGooperating system, using the latest intel atomprocessors. Curious also know that they will have netbooks with Android operating system on X 86 architectures.

According to the studies of Asus, 30% of users want to have the option of the physical keyboard, as we have seen in the Eee Pad Transformer, therefore considered important to continue working in different lines of work in addition to the tablets.
