The Ultrabooks were supposed to sound the deathknell of netbooks, but players like Acer don't think it is end of the road for the smaller computer. Acer's Aspire One D270 is the first to feature Intel's new Cedar Trail-M processor for Atom machines - the N2600 (1.6 GHz) version in this case. And the difference is visible from the very first click, the speed really refreshing coming from a netbook.
The D270 is also a very sleek machine, one of the slimmest you will see in netbooks, with the glossy finish on the outside covering a ripple design on the body. The keyboard, which takes up most of the space, and the area around it have a matt finish though. The trackpad is thankfully multi-gesture, while we were not sure why the one-piece clickpad below it suddenly decided to be glossy. The 10.1-inch LED screen is very clear and does not catch much light from its surroundings. The sound is good as the speakers are HD capable and have MS sound compatibility. But the speakers are on the bottom and get muffled if you keep the unit on a soft surface. Despite its ultra-thin credentials, the D270 packs a lot of connectivity options. At 1.3 kg, this is also one of the lightest netbooks around.
