Acer Aspire One 522 netbook with AMD Ontario now shipping

The Acer Aspire One 522 was one of the first netbooks announced to sport a shiny new 1 GHz AMD C-50 dual core chip and AMD Radeon HD 6250 graphics. Now the netbook also has the distinction of becoming the first 10 inch netbook with an AMD Fusion chip to ship in the US. After taking pre-orders for the last few weeks, Amazon is shipping the $330 mini-laptop.

Of course, it's not shocking that the Aspire laptop is the first to ship in the US. The only other 10 inch netbook I'm aware of that uses the same chipset is the Toshiba NB550D, which isn't scheduled for a US launch at all.

The Acer laptop has a 10 inch, 1280 x 720 pixel display, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi. It runs Windows 7 Starter Edition.
