Acer Aspire One 11.6"

Before I bought my new LaffEee, Acer Aspire One is one of my options. The rivalry between the Asus EeePC 1000HE and Aspire One 10" is the battery life. I decided to buy the one with the longer battery life so I dont have to carry the charger whenever I travel. All I need is a well charged laptop and I'm all set.

This week, Acer Aspire One 11.6" notebook has been officially launched on their German site. Its got the latest Intel Atom processor, screensize of about 11.6 inches. At a 6-cell battery, it can run up to 8hours, it lacks 1.5 hours of battery on Asus EeePC 1000HE.
