Acer Introduces 11.6″ Aspire One Netbook

Acer has announced an 11.6-inch Aspire One (751) netbook model, featuring Intel’s Atom processor.

The netbook is based on the Intel US15W Express Chipset and has a 160GB hard drive, a built-in webcam, support for WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity, and a multi-in-one memory card reader.

Macles previously reported that the 11.6″ Aspire One uses the Atom Z530 CPU at 1.6GHz. The display has a resolution of 1366×768 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio, according to the website.

“In the 11.6 inch versions, the attention to detail is extreme: the keyboard is ’soft-touch’, to increase typing conform and give a pleasant feeling while chatting on-line with the friends. Dolby Pro Logic sound and high-definition WXGA back-lit LED screen simulate the most advanced multimedia entertainment station; the extreme slimness, reduced to 2.5 cm of thickness, weighing just a little more than one kilo and with an 8 hours based on 6 cell 5200 mAh battery make the Aspire One easy to take with you,” Acer’s press release says.

The mini laptop will be available in four glossy colors - white, dark blue, red and black.

Manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $379.99.
