Here’s an Acer straight from the land of fake: http://www.shanzai.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:shanzai-aspires-to-quality-netbook-&catid=3:notebooks&Itemid=5&dsq=12679632#comment-12679632

Looks ok apart from the Via CPU

I expect OpenCL/Cuda support from any real computing device of 2010, which is the lifespan of this ‘netbook’.

its a step in the right direction, but i want AMD or nVidia for my next, unless Intel has RAPID plans to adopt OpenCL in the near future for its 4500HD chipset.

Those statistics are fascinating, especially the 27% who thought their netbook performed better than expected.

Yup, we covered a very similar Gateway model two weeks back. Some of the commenters noted that the ATI graphics are only marginally better than the standard Intel GPU. Benchmarks for the Nvidia Ion however are reportedly much higher.

Sorry, specs for the Gateway L110 are:

Athlon 64
ATI X1270
11.6″ screen
720p resolution
250GB HD
3xUSB
6 cell battery.

It looks black Mac-like and is a winner in my book.

$400 at Best Buy

Almost tempted me, a real computer in netbook size.

The name looks like a ‘leet speak’ variation of the ID10T error. Maybe not the most confidence inspiring name…

Ah yes, the dawn of the “Not Book” – It’s not a netbook, it’s not a notebook

i wonder how the CULV performance compares to the highest end Atom & what the power consumption differences are?

price wise there is going to HAVE to be an impact, “real” CPU, bigger/hirez screen, standard OS. even with that said, its still a faction the price of the Vaio T’s & Lifebook P’s in years past.

ive seen the 751 in person (same chassis but lower specs) & it is impressive. small, thin, light & nearly the same size as 10″ netbooks due to the more efficient use of the screen bezel. knowing Acer, the only way its going to get that kind of battery life is with a big ugly extended battery. i would prefer a “fat butt” where the extended battery fits flush like how Asus does.
