Size?

does anyone know what the size of this new netbook will be compared to the aspire one?

 

Bigger...

I just wrote a post on that exact topic.

 

As far as I am concerned, too big.

Having a bigger machine may be worthwhile if it gives some specific benefit such as a higher resolution screen or larger keyboard (but only if the existing keyboard is too small). In the case of the One, the keyboard on the original is small but perfectly usable for me. Having a physically larger screen with the same resolution just seems stupid (unless you have poor eyesight).

One of the key benefits of laptots is that they are physically small and easy to carry around. Having a normal sized machine that is slightly lighter but with much lower specs and around the same price seems pointless.

Needless to say, I shan't be buying one.
