As expected Acer today released its very own mini notebook computer, designed to make online activities fast, simple and cool. The mini lappie is portable (smaller than an average office diary) enough to carry it on the road; it measures just 9.8-inches x 6.7-inches x 1.14-inches and weighs a little more than two pounds. The Aspire one has an 8.9-inch CrystalBrite LED backlit display with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels with integrated Acer CrystalEye webcam.

It is equipped with Intel Atom processor, Linpus Linux Lite or Windows XP Home, and comes with 512MB or 1GB of RAM memory installed. There are two alternatives for data storage: a NAND flash module of 8GB or an 80GB internal HDD. In addition the Aspire one reads five different types of memory card – Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD-Picture Card – for absolute data freedom.

To increase storage capacity, the Aspire one features the unique Smart File Manager, a simple solution that instantly and seamlessly merges extra storage from any SD card inserted in the second SD card slot into the memory available to the user.

The Aspire one will be available in early Q3 through with pricing beginning at $379.
