Just ahead of the first Formula 1 Grand Prix season 2010 Acer has updated its Ferrari One netbook. Perfect timing, perfect badge on the hood. Updates, however, are not what you'd call Ferrariish or even Acer Aspire Oneish. Recently we covered announcement of Aspire One AO 532-h and we liked it. Obviously, because of the sponsorship particularities, Ferrari netbooks must have an AMD processor, so upgrading to Intel Atom N450 is no the case. But all the rest could and should be revamped.

More details on what CeBIT 2010 will be entertaining tech industry with. New ASUS Eee PC netbooks will be shown there. Three 10.1 inch models: 1015P, 1016P and 1018P follow their ancestors’ trend of becoming more and more grown up and mature with every iteration. They even have aluminum body, as seen on the picture of the entry level 1015P. Which is largely derived from 1005PE, but visibly is thinner, has a bigger touchpad and is a bit prettier. The other two models are more business-headed. The 1018P is even USB 3.0 enabled as we have it. Obviously, there is so much more to it from the inside because it has by far the shortest battery life – 10 hours. 1015P and 1016P will top 14 hours. Still, we like the way Eee PCs evolve. More on that when CeBIT opens it doors to the media.5 votes | Chrome OS netbook by Acer in dates and figures |
Acer's plans for 2010 are no longer a secret. Apart from notebooks and the rest of the stuff we got used to see from Acer, they are working on an e-book reader, a tablet computer, an app store and Chrome OS ready netbooks. We can't wait for all of this lot. Now though we can tie our impatience with some new facts extracted from Jim Wong's recent interview. Most of Acer goodies, as it turns out, will be available in the second half of 2010. More specifically, Chrome OS netbooks will start shipping in early Q3 waiting for the operating system to come out. Acer plans to sell one million of netbooks by the end of the year. This number is calculated from average expected sales percentage form the total amount of Acer computers sales, so it should be pretty close. One million sounds realistic to me as long as they keep prices below Windows 7 Starter enabled netbooks. And this is very probable though we can't say for sure because hardware in use is unknown.7 votes | Budget Windows 7 laptops that you should choose from |
