Hasta La Gadget!

We snooped around pretty heavily at Acer’s CeBIT booth here in Hannover, but we definitely didn’t see a single Aspire One with a port layout like this. That said, we wouldn’t put it past the company to push out an oh-so-barely different version of the Aspire One netbook that has already proven remarkably popular. macles* has it that Acer is planning to release a slightly revamped version, possibly dubbed the D250, that’ll sport a new motherboard, port layout and a larger hard drive. Outside of that, everything should remain the same, which basically means that it’s pulling an ASUS. Awesome.

Yesterday we took a peek at Acer’s hotly designed Altos storage box, and today we’re getting up close and personal with its easyStore H340 Windows Home Server. Generally speaking, the box looks almost identical to the aforementioned Altos, except it replaces the totally boss front cover with an entirely more drab and entirely more glossy replacement. Take a look within just there in the gallery.

Acer’s N280-powered Aspire One D150 has already been reviewed, but considering that we’ve yet to have the pleasure of meeting, we took that very opportunity today while parked at the company’s CeBIT booth. A trio of colors were around for demoing, so we walked our camera around to tag all three. You know the critics think this machine’s a-okay, but does it live up to your demanding style standards? Pop down to the gallery below to decide.

Acer’s K10 pocket projector was propped up aimlessly amongst a flurry of Aspire netbooks, and being that we’re the caring individuals that we are, we had to stop over and show it some love. The 800 x 600 resolution actually looked great, though the image was decidedly faint in the well-lit hall. Size wise, it’s a real winner, but we still don’t see this being all that useful in areas that are even mildly splashed with daylight. Have a look below to see what we mean.

Despite NVIDIA‘s claims that we’d have an Ion desktop sometime this Spring, we still haven’t really seen it in consumer-bound hardware — until now, that is. Although unconfirmed, slides have purportedly leaked out of what is said to be the Acer Hornet Ion-based nettop. Aside from the platform and a HDMI output, we don’t have any specs for the machine. What we do know is that it’s sporting a wireless game controller / air mouse — in case you didn’t pick up on the Wii influence, one of those background photos is a direct rip from NIntendo’s ad campaign — and can apparently hang from the back of LCD TVs. The images also tout its eco-friendly design, small form factor, “silent operation,” and a price tag of only a couple hundred dollars. Elaborate Photoshop or impending PC? Something feels fishy here, so while we sit and impatiently wait for some official word, hit up the read link for more pics.
