Acer Aspire One 521 and 721 spotted in France handling HD video, eying a croissant

You could say this is one of the odder ways to make something official, but Acer’s Aspire One 521 and 721 have been deemed just that after surfacing at an event today in France. Just as we’d heard the 10-inch 521, is rocking a heretofore unheard of AMD 1.2GHz V105 (single-core) processor, 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, ATI’s Radeon HD 4225 GPU and a penchant for handling 1080p video without breaking a sweat. It’s also equipped with VGA / HDMI outputs, a media card reader, three USB sockets, audio in / out, Ethernet jack and a native 1,024 x 600 resolution. The 11.6-inch 721, on the other hand, has AMD’s newer 1.3GHz Athlon II Neo K325, which similarly sports full HD playback on its 1366×768 resolution screen. And oddly, Acer seems to also have a new Aspire 1551 lying around, which also has an 11.6-inch display and dual-core Athlon II Neo K325/K625 processor options. Sadly, no further details were available, but we suspect they’ll be outed faster than you can turn yourself around, mash play on the video past the break and ping your financial manager to get his / her thoughts on picking this up alongside a new Ditch Witch.
