Acer’s Aspire D250 that dual boots Windows 7 and Google Android is out and bloggers have posted videos of just how the device works. So if you are one among those scores of people wondering what the big deal is you may find this post helpful.
The D250 first boots into Android. It appears that there in no easy way of booting directly into Windows 7. On the plus side, Android boots really fast. It takes only a few seconds to load. The Android interface allows you can go online and perform basic activities. After booting Android you can also decide if you want to switch to Windows 7. Users who don’t want to boot Android every time they switch the PC on may want to suspend or hibernate it to be able to skip the ritual. They can also consider getting a Windows 7 installation CD and wiping Android off.
In case you decide that Android is enough to meet your needs, you can stay there. But you will still have to pay the Windows 7 license fee when you buy the laptop as Acer ships the notebook with both Android and Windows 7.
