Acer Aspire One Happy 2

Sunday, August 14th, 2011


Acer usually does not offer a whole lot of pink laptops, but every now and then, they’ll release one. Their latest pink laptop is an updated version of the Aspire One Happy netbook that first came on the market in 2008. The Happy 2 comes in four sherbet-esque colors: the bright orange Papaya Milk, the yellow Banana Cream, the baby blue Blueberry Shake and, most important, the soft pink Strawberry Yogurt. The power button and touch pad are in matching colors, and the lids have a new design – a textured ripple-effect pattern.

The biggest improvement, however, is that this new version of the Happy mini laptop computers consume less power, meaning you can get more out of each battery charge.

Here are the the specs:

Processor: Intel Atom Dual-Core N570 (1.66GHz, 1MB L2)
Operating System: Windows 7 Starter, 32-bit
Graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150
RAM: 1GB DDR3
Hard drive: 250GB, 5400RPM
Battery: 3-cell (optional 6-cell)
Screen: 10.1″ WSVGA LED backlit
Size: 10.17 x 1.01 x 7.28″
Weight: 2.65 lbs

Other features include:
- 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
- Integrated webcam and microphone
- One flash media slot
- Two speakers
- 3 USB ports + 1 VGA

The small size and light weight of this netbook makes it easy to take it with you pretty much anywhere. The 3 cell battery should last around 4 hours, and the 6 cell around 8. It is currently retailing for around $250 – $300.
