Acer to release 11.6 inch Aspire One netbook
Not happy with the 8.9 inch or 10.1 inch Aspire One? Well soon you’ll have one more size option to choose from. According to Macles*, Acer is about ready to launch a new 11.6 inch Aspire One netbook featuring the Intel Z530 processor, the Intel USW15S chipset, and a 16:9 display with a resolution of 1366 x 768.
Unlike previous Aspire One systems, the new 11.6 inch system swaps the Intel Atom N270 processor in favor of the Atom Z530 processor (and it’s corresponding Poulsbo chipset). Choosing the Z530 is a common tactic for vendors building netbooks with larger displays thanks to the platform’s lower TDP of 4.3W (compared to the Atom N270 platform TDP of 11.8W). This offsets the higher power consumption of the larger 11.6 inch display resulting in a system capable of delivering 4 hours of power with the standard battery and 8 hours with the high capacity battery.
No word on when exactly the new 11.6 inch model will appear but hopefully soon!
