Acer Launches Super-Slim Business Notebook
This week at Computex, Taipei, Acer is showing off an ultra-thin notebook for business users.
Pretty much all of the Acer-related Computex coverage so far has been about either the Ion platform in the upcoming AspireRevo or the company’s plans for an Android-based Aspire One in Q3. However, the company has another cool machine on show at Computex and this one is aimed at professionals.
Measuring in at less than 1-inch thick, and packing an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, you’re looking at a 13.3-inch display, up to 4 GB of RAM, Intel’s GMA 4500MHD with 64 MB of dedicated video memory (or the option to upgrade to ATI’s Radeon HD 4330 with 512 MB of dedicated video memory), multitouch trackpad, 8+ hour battery life, WiFi, 3 x USB 2.0, VGA, mic in (as well as a built in mic), headphone/speaker jack and Ethernet.
No sign of a price on the product page but according to Digitimes it’ll be available next month so a price can’t be far off.

They should have had one of those sexy models holding it for a better promo...just my 2 cents.

Because that's exactly what we want going through the heads of all our business travelers!
These models are already out... I saw one today at Future Shop here in Canada. It actually uses a Core 2 Solo processor SU2700 processor.

it's just a glorified netbook.....
cabose, you are wrong. read the specs sheet for the one you posted, and the specs given by toms. not even close
at 4.2lbs is the 14" version.. which matches the one at futureshop but with a slower cpu im sure.. the acer site says it has 13.3", 14 and 15.6" sizes.. so it's kinda like this model is out.. only cpu is slower
