Is this the Acer Aspire One MiniNote?
Latest information and new links are being added to the Aspire ONE product page.
Hot on the heals of the Dell Mininote leak are these images which just dropped into our forum. This posts are titled ‘Aspire One.’
It’s got the same touchpad as seen on the HP 2133 and what appears to be an 8.9″ screen. Images show a, probably linux-based, user interface. Anyone recognize that UI?
Thanks ‘Liza’ whoever you are. We’ll be looking out for this at Computex and as soon as we have enough info, we’ll add it to the database.
Update#1: From 3Fire. (Source Mobile 01)
According to his information in that pag, Acer’s Mini-Note is called “Aspire One”, running Windows XP SP3 on the 8.9 screen with resolution of 1024 X 768. The ODM partner is Quanta, the main notebook ODM partner of HP, DELL and Apple. The source thinks “Aspire One” is better looking than Asus’ EEE PC, however, no photo release yet.
Looks like it’s an Atom/Diamondville-based device. Digitimes mentions a 299 Euro price which is 100 Euro cheaper than the Eee PC 900!
Update#2: Now tracking the details in the database.
Update. Launch details, official specs and images here now.

if i should hazard a guess its kde with a customized launcher.
but what specific distro it is, i cant tell, as i cant recall seeing a launcher like that before…

It’s not that hard to be better looking than the EeePC..

That looks like widescreen to me.
So isn’t it much more likely to be 1024×600 or is it 1280 (or 1152) x 768?

A supplier i deal with has given me a heads up on this one. It will be available with 8gb ssd or 20-40gb HD. Linux or Win xp all with 8.9″ lcd.
Prices starting from $400.
It will be released in Mid june.

Well it looked like customized Gnome interface to me…

Yuk. Looks like it’s taken the worst of all its forerunners. Ugly oversize bezel for the screen size, near-Cloudbook style yawning gap, bizarre touchpad.

Meh. The pre-release prices of these UMPCs always end up rising when the machines are released.

Why would they use the same effed-up touchpad as the HP mini?

If its pre-loaded with Linux, why does it have the Windows key? They would earn some brownie points from Linux aficionados if they replaced the Windows sign with a penguin.

I am Acer Aspire one.
one is a lowercase letter.
Please help modify that.
Thanks.

I just bought my acer aspire one and it works really great! very fast connection, reliable battery, good memory for just a non hardcore user like mine, very lightweight, sleek and also it can detect wifi signals as far as 500meters i dont know why! i live on the 29th floor of my building and it can scan up to 500meters wifi signal. i know this for a fact because the building name is on the wifi name and im using the connection whenever im near that place too! cool huh?

1-resolution video a little low.
2-volume need more amplification.
3-web cam & wifi good.
4-if possible soon will try win xp pro and 2 GB of ram.
5- no comment on the battery yet.
7- instead of card reader will prefer a PCMCIA port for fire wire plug.
