Not shy of a few multimedia features, the D260 offers high-definition audio support, two built-in speakers and a built-in microphone. A fun addition is the ability to video conference using an Acer crystal eye webcam, video conferencing software and video quality enhancement technology. These technological additions result in the D260 supporting online video calls with a 640 x 480 resolution.

This highly portable device offers a multi-in-1 card reader which supports numerous card formats. The memory on the Acer Aspire One D260 isn’t anything extraordinary as it offers 1GB of RAM and 250GB on the hard drive. This is the amount of memory you will find on most of the newer mini-computer models.
