10-inch Acer Aspire One


8.9 inch Acer Aspire One is a huge success for Acer. With only 1 model, it manage to top the list of most netbook sold last year. When the news broke about 10-inch Acer Aspire One last year, it bring joy to users who want netbook with bigger screen with competitive priced, as what Acer did with the first version of Acer Aspire One. The rest of netbook manufacturers has come out with their own 10 inch model earlier than that.
The 10-inch Acer Aspire One netbook is predicted to be shipped on the Q1 2009 although it is no where to be seen on local marketplace such as Lowyat.net forum as well as Lelong when I do quick check today.
As KL PC Fair nearing its day, I believe more users is anticipating this netbook to be there as well. The 8.9 inch model priced between RM1.1 – 1.3K, expect this model to be priced slightly higher, but lesser than Dell Mini Inspiron 10.
Here is the basic spec. Read more at the Acer Aspire mini page.
- CPU: 1.6-GHz Intel Atom N270
- RAM: 1GB. Max upgrade to 2GB
- Hard Drive Size/Speed: 160GB/5,400 rpm
- Display/Resolution: 10 inches/1024 x 600
- Weight: 2.8 pounds
- Operating System: Windows XP Home
- Graphic : Intel GMA 950/384MB shared
I think of a netbook like a second small car that you buy for those adventures that you need a small form factor for.

Have you noticed the ASUS notebook? although its specifications are no match to Acer but it is cute. This piece is absolutely dashing.
The one thing which makes me crave is “external graphic accelerator”, which I doubt exists.
