Acer Aspire One 571 Has Dedicated HD Video Chip
Posted on May 17, 09 06:40 PM PDT
We covered the Acer Aspire One 571 earlier this week, and here's an interesting point about this new notebook - it comes with a dedicated HD video chip and a mini Blu-Ray optical disc drive for all you mobile entertainment buffs out there. At the heart of the 571 is the Quartics Q1721 Multimedia Coprocessor which helps out in the acceleration of decoding and encoding of high definition video codecs, while throwing in hardware scaling and filtering capability. As for the small Blu-Ray reader, it is able to handle Vmedia’s 1GB discs with a diameter of 32mm - a far cry from the standard 120mm of Blu-ray discs.
