Reviews for the Acer Aspire One 533-13Drr
Fast and Elegant? Acer now also has a DDR3 netbook with an Intel Atom N455 in form of the Aspire One 533. Does the pretty wrapping only cover the already known? The specs promise an average netbook with a nice design and good ergonomics.

Netbooks have been having a hard time since Apple sparked a consumer stampede for tablet devices, but that hasn’t stopped manufacturers releasing new models. It also doesn’t mean you’ll be buying redundant kit for mobile business needs, since netbooks still refresh parts tablets can’t reach; they are stripped down for practical functionality, are ultra-mobile and much easier to work on for long periods of time. The Acer Aspire One 533 is a good-looking and robust netbook with a decent keyboard and excellent battery life.

The svelte, lightweight design, large keyboard and bright screen, along with the pumped up processor and faster RAM make this is a great little netbook. This is definitely one to consider if you're in the market for a device that will enable to work for lengthy periods while away from your home or office, or any power sockets.

The Acer Aspire One 533 takes few risks, with just a couple of notable updates over the Aspire One 532. It's a well-built and highly usable netbook, and reliably portable, if not particularly exciting. However, there are netbooks out there with longer lasting batteries, so regular travellers may want to consider something like the MSI Wind U160 or the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T instead.

Huge battery life, but the all-round quality isn't high enough to justify the price.

Acer's Aspire One 533 sets itself apart from other current-generation netbooks with a faster Atom CPU and Bluetooth 3.0, and surprisingly doesn't charge extra for these privileges. However, these are still only incremental improvements rather than must-buy features, and there are cheaper alternatives.

Comment
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3150: Integrated (shared memory) graphics card in the intel Atom N4xx CPUs. Minimally faster than an old GMA 950 and therefore not suited for 3D games or HD videos (only MPEG2 acceleration).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
N455: Intel Atom CPU for Netbooks with integrated DDR3 memory controller and GMA 3150 GPU. The performance of the system should be only minimally faster than the previous Atom N280 / GMA 950 combination.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
10.1": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions. » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.23 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist only few sub-notebooks, which weight less. 10 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
