I better start my own company.......what is it that I'm waiting for....]]>Apr 7th 2009 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/Apr 7th 2009 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/Apr 7th 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/Apr 7th 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/form factor is looking nice
normal internals, but i'm guessing the size would allow for a 5400 RPM 500GB to be put in there (which is the first thing I'd do)
hopefully allows RAM upgrades!!

put all of that in that package for less than $400 and I'm sold.]]>Apr 7th 2009 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/Apr 7th 2009 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/
I'm just waiting for the 15" netbooks to start being announced. What happened to the 7" screen? Isn't that what a netbook was all about?]]>Apr 7th 2009 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/
I think you're right about the size and the thin line and blurring between net and note book, but for me it's a matter of price AND size more so than just size or just price. If it's 600+ then I don't consider it a netbook - it's gotta be a umpc and something had to have distinguished it entirely from it's 300 cousins, no matter how small. Same thing if it's over 13 inches or over 4lbs...it's not a netbook.

I'm still waiting for them to include a dual core atom or via chip to buy mine. ]]>Apr 7th 2009 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/
I suppose that any larger than this, and it could be considered a battery powered nettop. On that vein, why not give it a touch screen and a disk drive. and DDR3. and a giant SSD, and an HDTV Tunder, and...

If they shrunk the bezels on most netbooks, they could probably fit 11" screens. that would be sweet.]]>Apr 7th 2009 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/
As for it being all about the net - its more than that. Office tasks, word processing, and even light video use - people will use netbooks the way they are used to with other computers, to the extent possible by the hardware, not as some new type of device. ]]>Apr 8th 2009 12:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/May 3rd 2009 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/Apr 7th 2009 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/photos/acer-aspire-one-11-6-inch-hands-on/1477682/

Says 10+ hours, Centrino 2 processor and 13.3" screen.

Anyways, I might be amenable to a 11.6-inch netbook if it gets 5 or 6 hours of battery life (assuming that the 8 hours they claim is inflated as it is with every manufacturer), as long as the price is below, say.. $600? I'm also curious what the weight is.

If they put it under $500 retail they'll make a killing. ]]>Apr 7th 2009 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/Apr 7th 2009 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/Perhaps you were looking at this?

I hate these stupid designations like "WXGA", "WUXGA" and "WSXGA+". What is that? 1280×800, 1366×768, 1280x960?

They tell you nothing useful. Why not just list the damned pixel dimensions. Much more informative.]]>Apr 8th 2009 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/acers-11-6-inch-aspire-one-goes-legit/

I agree with that! and MS is extending XP lifetime to 2011 or something!
