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.
