PCMag has a quick run down on the new 11.6 Acer Apsire One netbook
“The One (11.6-inch) looks like an average netbook, complete with a glossy top that’s available in several color variations: white, dark blue, black, and red. During the launch event, Acer had a red and a blue version on display. The One’s design isn’t as elegant as the aluminum HP Mini 2140 or as unique as the Sony VAIO LifeStyle PC, but a shinier top makes it slightly more appealing than the current Acer Aspire One (10-inch)
Although the 11.6-inch isn’t the biggest screen on a netbook, it’s the first. The Dell Inspiron Mini 12 and the Samsung NC20 have bigger, 12-inch netbook screens and can claim to have the largest screens for now. The One (11.6-inch), however, has a clear advantage over its 10-inch peers. For one, the resolution is 1,366 x 768, instead of a crippling 1,024 x 600. More importantly, the system’s width is able to accommodate a full size keyboard.”

PC World norway has a preview of the new 11.6 ich Acer Aspire One 751
“Aspire One 751 weighs only 1.24 kilograms, about the same as the Packard Bell Dot – despite the fact that Dot has only 8.9-inch screen. Etter en kontrollveiing fant vi ut at vekten faktisk ikke er mer enn 100-200 gram mer enn de fleste 8,9-tommers mini-pc-er og likevel er Aspire One 751 en pc med større skjerm og større tastatur. After weighing a control we found that the weight is actually not more than 100-200 grams more than most 8.9-inch mini-PCs and still is Aspire One 751 pc with a larger screen and larger keyboard. Riktignok ble vårt eksemplar levert med et lite og lett 3-cellers batteri, mens Packard Bell Dot og flere modeller i Asus Eee-serien har batteri med høyere kapasitet. Sure, our copy provided with a small and lightweight 3-cell battery, while Packard Bell Dot and more models in the Asus Eee series battery with higher capacity. The thickness of the machine is around 2.2 to 2.5 cm”

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.

Acer is set to release the most advanced Aspire One yet, moving away from the 10.1-inch models currently in the series, with an 11.6-inch model according to macles. Up until now the Acer Aspire One netbook has only seen minor technical revisions, whereas this new model is expected to be a new generation of netbook/mini-notebook for Acer.
The design itself is very similar to previous models, however the 11.6-inch (1366 x 768) display with widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio has enabled Acer to stick a full-sized keyboard with flat keys into the netbook. Acer has also rung the changes underneath the hood too with the 11.6-inch netbook powered by a low-power 1.6GHz Z530 Intel Atom CPU, rather than the N270 Atom CPU. The net effect of this is an increased battery life of four hours with the standard battery and eight hours with the higher-capacity battery, despite the larger screen size over the 10.1-inch variants.
The new model will also use the Intel Poulsbo chipset with GMA500 graphics core, instead of the Intel 945GSE and GMA950 graphics core found in earlier models. Despite the confusing numbering for the graphics core, the GMA500 is more advanced and features H.264 hardware decoding along with other video codecs. The new platform has a TDP of just 4.3W compared to 11.8W highlighting how much difference the move will make to power efficiency.
