Acer launches 10-inch Aspire One

Acer is showing off its new Aspire One at CeBIT 2009 - the 10-inch model. It is equipped with a 10-inch WSVGA LED backlit screen with a native resolution of 1024x600.

The specs are the same as the majority of netbooks: that is an Intel Atom coupled with the 945GSE Express chipset. The big difference though is that it supports a max of 2GB of memory, whereas the 8.9-inch version was limited to 1.5GB. A memory card slot has also been removed -- most likely the 'memory extension' one since it sports a 160GB hard drive. This new notebook comes preloaded with Windows XP, and there is no mention of Linux. With a 6-cell Li-ion battery, it's said the Aspire One can reach up to 6.5 hours of battery life, for a reasonable weight of 2.9lbs.
For people interested, it can already be found on many e-tailers.
