Comments on: Acer Ups Their Netbook Game With 10.1 & 11.6-Inch Screens http://gigaom.com/mobile/acer-ups-their-netbook-game-with-10-1-11-6-inch-screens/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:38:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Gordon Cahill http://gigaom.com/mobile/acer-ups-their-netbook-game-with-10-1-11-6-inch-screens/#comment-418391 Tue, 19 May 2009 00:07:41 +0000 http://jkontherun.com/?p=35776#comment-418391 Honestly, they’re just shooting themselves in the foot…. again. The main differentiators between a netbook and a notebook are size and price. So now they’re building larger, more expensive units instead of making the small light units cheaper. Stupid. Looks like they’re listening to journalists again rather than consumers, just like the tablet PC. Journalists may want full sized keyboards. The rest of us want small and light. Just look at the sucess of the Viv….

They’ve sold millions of small machines. Now look at that market dry up as they get larger and pricier.

I’m not so keen on the z-series processors. Most reviews I’ve seen complain about them being too slow for real modern OS multitasking.

Is the ram upgradeable in these?

Folks that want the older 1.6GHz Atom N270 instead of the 1.22GHz Atom Z520 can get it in the 751h per the press release.
