New Thinner Aspire One

There is a german site with some pics of the new, thinner Acer Aspire One...

It's in german, but looks legit.

 

Looks pretty neat but it has a 10.2" screen. I kind of like the small 8.9" form factor...

 

What's the point in lugging around a wider screen if there is no increased resolution?

 

Yea, that's the big issue, what is the netbook limit?

9"
10"
10.1"
17.5"

Larger size, even with the same resolution get's you a more readable screen (font sizes are "bigger"), but you are right, when a later model gets bigger it should get better too.

For some reason I do like the beveled edges with connectors there. Don't know why, but it looks good.

 

it looks really good , just as they don't make it bigger than the original casing, then its ok, once is bigger than the original 8.9 ONE, then i don't consider it a net book, just a little laptop

 

I thought I read somewhere that the 10.1" unit was the same size package as the 8.9", but just a bigger screen.

 

It's a bit bigger....

 

Precisely! That's why 10in has never been a reason for me to buy another netbook. It's still 1024x600 anyway. Pixels look bigger, that's it. Less sharp btw.
