A new dual-core Intel Atom N550 packing netbook is now shipping in the US and it's the Acer Aspire One D255. We've heard about this one before because this is the netbook that has been famous for dual-booting the Android and Windows XP. Unfortunately, this netbook does not do that; instead it's running Windows 7 Starter Edition. Other specs include a 250GB HDD, a 10.1-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, 1GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 6-cell battery. They've managed to pack all of that into a 2.8-pound body. It's going for $399 so check it out on HSN.

Earlier this month we heard about the HP Mini 5103 netbook. Inside you'll find Intel Atom N455 / N475 CPU options along with the dual-core Atom N550 1.5GHz CPU, which is great. Other specs should include an SSD, a touchscreen display, some integrated Intel graphics, and the Broadcom Crystal HD card. This netbook should be launching sometime next month so maybe we'll be seeing it at IFA.
