Acer Aspire One 10.1"
It is probably not suprising, considering the success of the Acer Aspire One, that Acer is currently preparing a new model. It won't be a true successor but just a new variant of the AA1. Digitimes did already report in November that the 10.1" AA1 will be released in February 2009, but no details were known then.
台灣知名大廠 宏碁的十吋小筆電 Aspire One
這台新的小筆電可能不是什麼另人驚訝的新聞,Acer 的Aspire One 真的賣的很成功,所以Acer 應該會打鐵趁熱的推出新機型。Digitimes 網站在十一月份就指出十吋的Aspire One 就會在09 年二月面市,雖然當然什麼細節都沒給。
Here are the details. Most specs are identical to the AA1, there are only a few changes. First the bad news: it will likely be Windows XP and HDD only, no Linux or SSD SKUs. Probably false alarm. There will only be no HDD and Linux combination, which is currently available in parts of Europe. The Storage Expansion slot has been removed, and a multicard reader put in its place. The functionality of the current Storage Expansion in Linux is entirely software based anyway. No onboard memory. There is only a single DIMM slot now, with a maximum capacity of 2GB. The screen is 10.1" with the same resolution as the current screen. 3G and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR are optional.
A few changes were made to the design as well. The area around the keyboard has a brushed metal finish and the seamlessly integrated touchpad resembles a more traditional touchpad, compared to the current one, with what appears to be a single button at the bottom. The new AA1 will be available in three colors: white, black and red.
