Acer Aspire One 521 and 721 bring HD smarts Acer Aspire One 521 – HD-toting lovely

Acer has just announced two new netbooks both packing serious HD smarts inside. Both the 10.1in Acer Aspire One 521 and the 11.6in Acer Aspire One 721 will house up to 4GB RAM, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics processor and an AMD V-Series V105 CPU. Add them all up and Acer says you’ll be able to easily handle 1080p video and full on PC gaming.

Both models have power-saving backlighting behind their 16:9 LED screens and also feature HDMI output so you can hook them up to your TV to enjoy HD video playback on your big screen.

Besides the HD video and gaming smarts, the Acer Aspire One 521 and Acer Aspire One 721 also include a webcam and multi-touch trackpad. There’s also optional 3G and Bluetooth and both models run Windows 7.

The price is yet to be announced for the video-savvy smarties, but we’re expecting them to be on sale in June.
