The Acer Aspire One 11.6-inch netbook has a 16:9 aspect ratio screen that pulls in a neat 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, it could well be the first HD Ready netbook to hit the market.

The other main difference with this netbook seems to be a move away from the Intel Atom N270, to the more cost-effective Atom Z530 and the Intel SCH USW15S chipset. The rest of the spec is unknown but we can guess that it will come in as Windows XP, to start with, 1024MB of memory, 160GB hard drive and feature the now standard 1.3-megapixel webcam and Wi-Fi arrangement.

The site is also claiming that two different batteries will be available with a standard pack offering four hours of battery life, while the high-capacity version should safely double this.

We’re waiting for an official announcement from Acer as to release date and pricing of the Aspire One 11.6 but hopefully this will be soon, as we’d love to get our hands on a HD Ready netbook.
