Packard Bell Dot S netbook hits Europe

Brad Linder — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 11:07:06 +0000

The Liberty Tab Android tablet isn't the only new mobile device heading to Europe under the Packard Bell brand soon. The folks at Notebook Italia got word that the new Packard Bell Dot S netbook is due out soon. The 10 inch netbook features an Intel Atom processor and a 6 cell battery for up to 8 hours of run...

Packard Bell introduces Liberty Tab Android tablet (Acer Iconia Tab for Europe)

Brad Linder — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 19:16:57 +0000

Acer subsidiary Packard Bell has introduced a new Android tablet in Europe. If the Packard Bell Liberty Tab looks familiar, that's because it appears to be a rebranded version of the Acer Iconia Tab A500. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The tablet features a 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor, a 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800...

Packard Bell Dot SE with dual core Atom N550 CPU

Brad Linder — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:01:48 +0000

Acer owns the Gateway, Packard Bell, and eMachines brands. So it should come as no surprise that shortly after introducing new Acer netbook models, we tend to see similar machines arrive under one or more of these brand names. Latest case in point? The new Packard Bell Dot SE, which appears to be awfully similar to the recently launched Acer...

Packard Bell launches Dot S4 netbook

Brad Linder — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 18:48:57 +0000

The Packard Bell Dot S4 is a 10 inch netbook that's basically what you would get if you dressed up an Acer Aspire One D260 in fancy clothes. Acer owns the Packard Bell (and Gateway) brand names, so I've come to expect Packard Bell laptops to look familiar. But the Packard Bell Dot S4 does have a few design tricks...

Packard Bell dot VR46 Valentino Rossi edition looks all fancy and stuff

Brad Linder — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:12:42 +0000

Sure, it's what's on the inside that really counts. But if you'r the superficial type that likes to judge a netbook by its cover, Packard Bell's got a real looker for you. Notebook Italia dug up some photos of a new Packard Bell Valentino Rossi edition of the company's dot notebook. Rossi, in case you don't follow Italian motorcycle racing,...

Packard Bell to release new 10.1″ and 11.6″ models

Lee — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:00:16 +0000

Notebook Italia has scored a little face time with some new Packard Bell models, including the 10.1" dot S2 [translate link] and the 11.6" Butterfly XS [translate link]. The Dot S2 (in black and red on the right-hand side of the image above) will feature an Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 160GB SATA hard drive, and...

Acer 1820P touchscreen netbook twin shows up as Packard Bell Butterfly Touch

Brad Linder — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:49:19 +0000

A few days ago Acer introduced the Aspire Timeline 1820P, an 11.6 inch laptop that's nearly identical to the Acer Aspire 1410 I recently reviewed except that the 1820P has a higher capacity battery and a touchscreen display that can be folded down over the keyboard for use in tablet mode. But as with almost every 11.6 inch and smaller...

Packard Bell introduces 10.1 inch and 11.6 inch Dot netbooks

Brad Linder — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 12:33:28 +0000

The reports of the Packard Bell Dot netbook's death appear to have been mildly exaggerated. I reported back in March that Packard Bell was pulling the plug on its 8.9 inch version of the Dot, a netbook which is little more than a rebranded Acer Aspire One anyway (Acer owns the Packard Bell brand). But Notebook Italia is reporting that...

Packard Bell kills the Dot netbook

Brad Linder — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:12:38 +0000

Packard Bell is pulling the plug on its Dot netbook, which is basically just a rebranded version of an Acer Aspire One with an 8.9 inch display. Packard Bell is owned by Acer, and Acer has been busy introducing netbooks with 10 inch screens, so I'm not surprised to see Packard Bell kill off the Dot. The netbook was supposed...

Packard Bell Dot takes on Europe

Brad Linder — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:19:37 +0000

Packard Bell's Dot netbook, which bears a striking resemblance to the Acer Aspire One (which makes sense since Acer owns Packard Bell) is popping up throughout Europe. Trusted Reviews notes that the Dot will be available in the UK in January for £299. Meanwhile, Blogeee reports that the Dot is already listed at French retailer Darty's web site for 379...

More info on Packard Bell’s netbook

Brad Linder — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 20:29:50 +0000

A few days ago I mentioned that Packard Bell is putting out a netbook. Packard Bell was recently acquired by Acer, which probably explains why the netbook looks a lot like the Acer Aspire One. Thanks to Cloudbook UMPC and Eee PC.net we now have a slightly better picture of the Packard Bell dot (PDF link), which is apparently what...

Gateway, Packard Bell netbooks on its way

Brad Linder — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:52:24 +0000

Speaking at an event in Budapest today, Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci announced that Gateway, a company Acer recently acquired, would be launching a netbook soon. Lanci also said that Acer plans to release updates to its Acer Aspire One lineup, which could include a model with a larger screen. It's not clear at the moment what will set the Gateway netbook...
