Acer Aspire One D255 netbook now on sale

Acer has put up for sale its Aspire One D255 netbook which is the first model of its kind to hit the US, and HSN.com (Home Shopping Network) will be the retailer who will have the honor of carrying the device. Going for $399 a pop in a quartet of color choices (red, black, aquamarine and sandstone), they will all share the same innards regardless of its exterior color. We’re talking about the new 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 dual core processor, 1GB RAM, a 250GB hard drive, a 10.1-inch display at 1024 x 600 resolution, coupled with an Intel GMA 3150 graphics chipset and Wi-Fi connectivity. Expect other dual core Atom processors to hit the market from various netbook manufacturers pretty soon, as they surely can’t let Acer corner the market, eh?
