Netbook Review UK

We saw the new Acer Aspire One Happy on video just a few days ago, and learned that it’s due to sell for £250.  Now, we get to look inside the 10 inch netbook with an Intel Atom processor.  To be honest though, there’s nothing new there since the Acer Aspire One ‘Happy’ is nearly identical to the Acer Aspire One D255. The main difference is that the Happy case comes in several different bright color options.

Under the hood, it has a dual core Intel Atom N550 processor. The folks at Notebook Italia took the computer apart and looked at its insides.  They did find that the heatsink with a bit more surface area than usual to dissipate the extra heat generated by the dual core processor, and a metal cage around the hard drive to protect it from bumps.
