Acer Aspire AS1410 CULV Notebook Unveiled [New Aspire CULV HD Ultraportable Aimed at the Budget Conscious]

Acer have announced their new Aspire AS1410 notebook which along with sporting a CULV Intel processor comes with 720p HD 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen CineCrystal LED-Backlit Display (making it ideal as a portable digital entertainment device) and which, thanks to aggressive pricing, should suit even the most budget conscious of consumers.

Running Windows 7 Home Premium, the new CULV Acer Aspire AS1410 notebook, as can be seen by the specifications detailed below, comes with a 1.2HGz Intel Celeron CPU under the hood along with 2GB RAM, a 160GB hard drive and integrated WiFi wireless connectivity (802.11 a/b/g and Draft-N) whilst its 11.6” widescreen display, powered by Intel’s Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, offers up 1366×768 resolution (720p HD) whilst audio is taken care of courtesy of integrated stereo speakers with Dolby Sound Room Audio Enhancement.

“With the rising popularity of social networking, consumers are more connected than ever to the online world,” said Ray Sawall, senior manager of product marketing for Acer America. “When it comes to selecting a notebook, they’re increasingly concerned with size, weight and style. The AS1410 Series is small enough to be carried in a backpack or even a large purse but with enough power for spreadsheets and presentations. Aggressively priced, the AS1410 is an affordable mobile solution for checking Twitter updates, viewing YouTube videos and handling productivity applications on a plane, at school or a coffee house. Those in the market for a netbook should consider this notebook as an option, due to the step up in processing power.”
