Digital Home Thoughts: Scoping Out the 11.6 Inch Acer Aspire

"At less than an inch thick, it’s significantly thinner than the current 10-inch Aspire One, which is 1.3 inches thick. Even with what appears to be a six-cell battery, it’s super thin. Editor-in Chief Mark Spoonauer says it’s the “sleekest he’s ever seen.” To boot, the glossy black stylings give it a classy, understated look. In addition to the slimness, the thing that struck us most was the 11.6-inch display, a screen size we’re not used to seeing. Aside from being bright, we were impressed with the LCD panel’s 1366 x 768 resolution, the first time we’ve seen that resolution on a netbook."

Pretty excited about the screen resolution on this one. The extra screen resolution will be especially noticable to those who use a lot of applications that are taller than 600 pixels.
