Acer has revealed two new netbooks with a serious focus on HD. The Acer Aspire One 521 and Acer Aspire One 721 both use the new AMD 2010 line up of processors and promise to pack in some serious power into their diminutive shells. Read on for all their HD-loving specs…

Both the 10.1in Acer Aspire One 521 and the 11.6in Acer Aspire One 721 will house up to 4GB RAM, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics processor and an AMD V-Series V105 CPU. Add them all up and Acer says you’ll be able to easily handle 1080p video and full on PC gaming.

Both the Acer Aspire One 521 and Acer Aspire One 721 have power-saving backlighting behind their 16:9 LED screens. They also feature HDMI output so you can hook them up to your TV to enjoy that HD video playback rather than peering at the smaller screen.

Besides the HD video and gaming smarts, the Acer Aspire One 521 and Acer Aspire One 721 also include a webcam and multi-touch trackpad. There’s also optional 3G and Bluetooth in the mix. Both models run Windows 7.

Let us know what you think of the new AMD-packing, HD-playing Aspire netbooks. Are you still in the market for a petite PC like the Acer or an Asus Eee PC or have you totally swallowed the dream of a tablet filled future?
