Acer have announced their new mini/micro notebook, the Atom powered Aspire One, which, despite being billed as ‘not just another notebook’ bears all the hallmarks of being yet another Eee PC competitor complete with 8.9” LED display (the same display size as all Eee PC’s except the newly announced Eee PC 1000/H) and which comes with either Win XP or Linux operating systems preloaded. 
Interestingly, Acer have chosen to announce their new Aspire One just when we are expecting an imminent official announcement from Dell that they will also be entering the mini/micro notebook market with a device known, at this stage, as the Mini Inspiration but then again, what with the Computex presently in full swing, perhaps this should not come as too much of a surprise.
