Aspire One 533: Defining Features
What are the things that set the Aspire One 533 apart from other 10.1-inch Acer netbooks?
Acer Aspire One 533 (AO533) Glossy Red Netbook
Bluetooth v3.0 High Speed: That’s right! The latest iteration of the Bluetooth wireless file sharing technology (i.e. Bluetooth 3.0 or Bluetooth High Speed Technology) is on selected versions of the Aspire One 533. If you want this, get the AO533-23096 (red netbook) or the AO533-23227 (black netbook).
Bluetooth v3.0 High Speed provides faster data transfer rates than Bluetooth v2.0 but is backward compatible with Bluetooth v2.0 and earlier versions. This means fast and effortless sharing of large files between devices.
With the AO533, you can easily synchronize bulk music files between your netbook and your music player, download bulk image files from your netbook to your printer, and send large video files from your netbook to your phone.
The AO533 is particularly perfect if you have other Bluetooth v3.0 devices with which your netbook can interface.
MiniGo Acer Adapter: This lightweight (34% lighter than standard), 40-watt AC adapter makes the AO533 a good option for frequent travelers.
DDR3 SDRAM: DDR3 SDRAM has a faster data transfer rate than DDR2 SDRAM (which most other Aspire One netbooks have).
Anti-Slip Touchpad: Just like the Aspire One 532h, the touchpad on the Aspire One 533 has a raised microbead texture that guides the finger for easier, no-slip navigation.
Sleek Look: The Aspire One 533 looks sleek. It has an attractive, glossy cover but a matte finish that prevents fingerprint smudges and minimizes the appearance of scratches. It also has a chrome rim as well as chrome accents on the touchpad.
AO533 Features NOT Available in Acer USA’s AO533 Netbooks
There are AO533 netbooks with 3G connectivity. However, the 6 versions available in the US (as per the US Acer website at the time of writing) don’t have this capability.
There are also Aspire One 533 netbooks that have 10 hours of battery life. Currently, however, the AO533 netbooks in the US all come with a 4400 mAh 6-cell battery that provides only up to 8 hours of battery life. If you can get the 5600 mAh, 6-cell, high-capacity battery for the AO533, however, you may be able to get as much as 10 hours of portable performance on your AO533.
Finally, AO533 netbooks actually have 3 color options: glossy black, glossy red and glossy white. In the US, however, only the black and red netbooks are available at present.
