2. Acer Aspire One 11.6″
a. Need the world at your busy fingertips, then it’s time to take on a netbook. These
wonderful machines do it all in the compact size of your palm now.
b. Product Description –
i. The definition of a Netbook keeps getting fuzzier around the edges, with displays growing from the original 7-inch designs, and the selection of CPUs expanding to include Intel, AMD, and Via. If we are to take 12-inch systems such as the HP dv2 and Samsung NC20 as Netbooks (we’ve so far let them slip in under the wire), then an 11.6-inch model is a sure thing. The slightly larger $379 Acer Aspire One AO751h-1545 is an excellent compromise between size and usability as too small can be a pain if you type a lot. The catch is that Acer has decided to use the 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 as its CPU, instead of the faster (and much more common) 1.6GHz Atom N270 version.
