Any businessman obsessed with the bottom line must love how Acer goes about things. A company that sees a high end market, figures out what people want, gives it to them while undercutting rivals and (generally) managing not to compromise too much on the build in the process. As one review we caught of the Acer Aspire 532H mentioned, the Taiwanese manufacturer figured out early that basic netbooks at lower prices would fly off shelves and so it has proved in this model’s case.
The 10.1-inch netbook packs an Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of RAM, Windows 7 Starter, 160GB hard drive and a six-cell battery, it also shines. Yep, unlike the previous Aspire One 751h, this little shiny guy comes a multi-colored, metallic-like blue and black lid, which reminded the Engadget reviewer of “those old school hypercolor stickers that would change color with heat”. Not a bad description.
Generally well reviewed, the Aspire 532H has plenty going for it.
Overall, then yep, the look is great to begin with (though it is fingerprint prone into the bargain), while the keyboard – so often the cause for much debate when it comes to netbooks – came in for praise from this review we found on Cnet.
It is, the reviewer says, “a far cry from the tiny finger-cramping keyboards of last-generation Netbooks. It has wide edge-to-edge keys, and decent-size versions of Shift, Tab, and other important keys. The corners of each key are rounded, rather than square, giving it a mod look.”
