Acer Readies Aspire One D255 Netbook
Acer is readying a stylish new netbook in its Aspire One series, the D255. This 10.1 inch netbook has a 1024x600 pixel LED-backlit CrystalBrite display, and is powered by the Intel Atom N550 processor clocked at 1.50 GHz. The D255 uses the same chassis design as the D260, except for the different processor. The processor is aided with 1 GB of memory, Intel GMA 3150 graphics, 250 GB storage, a 6-cell battery to keep it powered up, and connectivity which includes 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth. There is no word on the pricing.

GMA950 + hardware TnL + H.264 acceleration (even through Flash) = pure win
GMA950 is decent fast for most of games, hardware TnL would allow it to run certain games and acceleration of H.264 seems crucial these days, especialy Youtube HD videos. It's an internet device and you'd expect it to at least run taht content perfectly. Yet it doesn't. That kinda sucks if videos on Youtube are constantly lagging because Atom can't keep up. Even on 720p at quite crappy bitrates...
EDIT:
Actually, if i think of it, give us Intel X4500HD inside netbooks. Now that would be much more interesting :D
Not that hard to do this like this www.geepecosys.com/weblisting/images/Products/dell%20d630.jpg
All netbooks should now be specced to a 1280 x 768 screen at least.
If the screen can't display videos at 720p, why would anyone care if it can't play 720p Youtube Videos smoothly?
Now what annoys me is that is sometimes stutters when playing even 360p videos from Youtube...
