Acer is planning to launch an 11.6-inch ultra-thin model, which is based on Intel’s CULV platform, in July according to Digitimes. The new model will fit in Acer’s Timeline series of ultra-thin notebooks and will be manufactured by Quanta.
We recently heard that Acer is looking to rein back shipments of its 11.6-inch Aspire One 751 (AO751h) netbook, following disappointing sales. The report goes on to say that Acer will either look to phase out the 751 or drop its price when the new 11.6-inch ultra-thin launches to clearly define the difference between both 11.6-inch offerings.
Specifications for this new 11.6-inch ultra-thin are unknown right now, although it looks like Acer has realised that one of the shortcomings of the Aspire One 751 was its 1.33GHz Z520 Atom CPU. The Timeline series of notebooks is based on Intel’s Celeron ULV platform and there is no reason why this new model wouldn’t support the same processor. At least with this platform, Acer would make the most out of its 1366 x 768 display by enabling smooth HD 720p content.

The Aspire One 751 already provides separate access panels for the HDD, memory and Wi-Fi. When opening the Wi-Fi slot, it can be seen that there are two Mini PCI-E slots with only one in use. The 751 is completely taken apart in the disassembly guide, the motherboard and internals are all laid out for all to see. Modders out there can add 3G HSDPA functionality to the 751.

The new Acer Aspire One 751 has a screen that measures 11.6in on the diagonal with a resolution of 1366 x 768 and that’s mighty big for a netbook. As it happens, we were told a few months back that Intel has strict rules about the sale of Atom N-series processors to avoid cannibalising the sales of Core 2 and Centrino products.
Acer Aspire One 751: a netbook with a notebook screen resolution
Acer claims that the six-cell 5200mAh battery has a runtime of five hours, and we found that we could run a continuous loop of PCMark05 for two hours and 13 minutes. You can double that figure to get a real-world battery life figure so we’re happy that the Acer will run for four and a half hours with the screen at full brightness, pleasingly close to the figure supplied by Acer. Recharging the battery took one hour 30 minutes.
The large – for a netbook – 11.6in screen on the Aspire One 751 takes these little laptops in an interesting direction. However, the price is getting uncomfortably close to the point where you can buy a proper laptop with a proper CPU

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”
