Unveiled in the mid of February, the new Netbook Acer Aspire One 532g has a lot of talk lately as advertised as the first netbook with Atom Pineview Processor N450 and the graphics Nvidia ION new generation. Here is a little more about the Acer Aspire One 532g including its release date and price.

This Netbook and should disembark from the end of March in Europe suggested retail price of under 500 $ with the following configuration:
Dalle 10.1”WSVGA LED Backlight (1024 × 600)
Pineview Intel Atom N450 (1.66 GHz)
RAM Installed (Max) 1 GB DDR2 667 MHz
Storage Space 320 GB (a priori) at 5400 rpm
Graphics Card Nvidia ION Gefoce new generation GT 218 512 MB dedicated DDDR3 and Intel GMA X3150.

Audio System 2 Speakers
Wi-Fi b / g / n + Ethernet
Bluetooth Yes Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
Card Reader 4 in 1
Output (s) video HDMI (HDCP), VGA
Input (s) / Output (s) Headset, Microphone
USB 2 USB 2.0
OS 7 Windows Home Premium
Li-Ion 6 cells, 63Whr a priori
Autonomy announced 10 hours max, max 5 hours with the ION
Dimensions (mm)
Weight 1 kg

Its presence on the left side VGA, an air vent and front USB port and an HDMI output then positioned on the right are the card reader 4 in 1, audio ports, USB, a Kensington and an attached Ethernet connector. The design is very similar to the Acer Aspire One 532H with a hull and interior bright blue / black. The keyboard has keys flat matte slightly spaced from each other and the multi-touch touchpad that has a button bar is well integrated into the chassis.

As we noted in our article dedicated ION 2 versions of next generation are proposed by Nvidia. This is the first, which is intended to Netbooks from 9 to 10 inches, found embedded in the Acer Aspire One 532g. This version of the ION has 8 cores, 16 cores cons to that which can be integrated with ultraportables from 11 inches, like the Asus Eee PC 1201PN.

From the first tests of a pre-release of the Acer Aspire One 532g, it gets a score of 3049 points in 3DMark03. It would probably improve if optimized drivers come out. In all cases, the ION input range of new generation can theoretically provide greater autonomy to the ION first generation, thanks to technology Nvidia Optimus.

This is indeed capable as the tasks performed by the user to determine if the Netbook can operate solely on the graphics Intel GMA X3150 integrated processor or if it must use the power of Ion. In the first case, for example in office, the ION is not activated unlike machines equipped with the ION first generation. But the ION consuming more energy than the graphics Intel GMA autonomy should boost.

Recall that the ION delivers superior performance to the Intel GMA chips and can play a few tracks resource-efficient but also to read smoothly 1080p HD video, what can not the lack of Atom Netbooks ION or a chip Broadcom decoder. Should in all cases to expect the first tests the Acer Aspire One 532g finalized version to get a real idea of its performance and its autonomy.
