10" One

Do anyone know if there are plans to make a 10" AAOne, and if yes when they plan to introduce it ?

 

As far as anyone knows, no. Acer is still working out some kinks with this one, so it would be a while. At least until after the holidays (netbooks=hot gift item).

Either way, getting any bigger screen is approaching laptop territory. A netbook is for light use, and a small, but usable screen size is best. Most people who get a One will have a bigger computer any way.

 

I'd rather they increase the LCD resolution to 1280x768 first than intro a 10".
In fact, there are much more improvements to the chassis that I'd rather see than just a jump to a 10" (DIMM/HDD access panel, for starters)
As it stands now, it's hard to go against the Samsung NC10, which would be my choice for a 10" model.

 

I think the point is that, due to the large bezel around the current screen, they could fit a screen closer to 10" without increasing the size of anything else. I would definitely be in favor of a 1280x800, 10" screen.

 

Yes:

Well...I guess I was right with the "after the holidays" part...

 

This is definitely true. While the AA1 is tiny, it could quite easily fit a 10" display without any growing. In fact the Lenovo S10 does it already (a teensy bit smaller total volume and the exact same width). While I don't mind the 8.9" screen, it would be nice to squint a bit less.

The one dimension I wish could change is the thickness, I got to use my sister's MacBook Air over the holiday and really dug the slim form factor. Obviously they aren't competitors, but thin is probably the next thing to happen as there isn't any more space to squeeze the keyboard.
