ACER ASPIRE 1551 HITS RETAILERS

The Acer Aspire 1551 has hit the retailers. This machine has better specs than a typical netbook, but it is cheaper than a regular thin and light laptop. The Aspire 1551 has an 11.6 inch LED backlit display. It is powered by a 1.5GHz AMD Turion II Neo K625 dual core processor. Other specifications include an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 discrete graphics, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 320GB hard drive, HDMI-out, WiFi 802.11n and a six-cell battery that should power the machine for up to 5 hours on a single charge. The laptop weighs just over 3 pounds. It will, reportedly, be able to decode 1080p HD video, thanks to the powerful ATI graphics.
