Outside of the 11-inch MacBook Air, what other “not a netbook” notebook is out there that sports the same size for the same power? Well, here’s something to challenge the Fruit Overlords 11-incher, the Acer Gateway EC19C-A52C/S Notebook.
This “not a netbook” notebook is sporting some of the most impressive specs ever seen in a compact unit such as those of the EC19C-A52C/S:
- Dual-core Intel Core i5-470UM processor (1.33GHz) with Turbo Boost
- 2GB of RAM
- 320GB hard drive
- 11.6-inch 1366×768 screen
- USB2.0
- HDMI
- VGA
- Ethernet
- Audio in and out
- 1.3-megapixel webcam
- Four-card reader
- Wi-Fi b/g/n
- Bluetooth 3.0
- Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
- 6-cell battery rated for six hours
Compared to the 11-inch Apple MacBook Air, it seems that the battery life is where they differ (oh and the slimness of the whole unit). But if you’re in the market for an ultra-portable notebook without sacrificing the power, then this is the right one for you.
Expect this “not a netbook” 11-incher notebook for sale in Japan by tomorrow for ¥65,000, or right around $775 depending on exchange rates. So if you’re living in the land of the Rising Sun, then you may now have an alternative to the 11-inch Apple Macbook Air.
