Acer have just launched a new version of it’s Acer Aspire One 531 in the UK. It is called the Acer Aspire One Pro 531, and is focused around being a business netbook.
Although almost identical to the consumer version, it does have a few modifications/imporvements. These include a much larger memory at 250GB (versus 160GB), Windows XP Pro versions (Windows Vista Business, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Home) and built-in 3G. It will also have a better battery that should last 7.5 hours, and is ever so slightly thicker than the consumer version.
The keyboard is 89% full size and the touch pad is supports multi touch, and pricing looks to be set between £350 - £400.
Here are the rest of the specs:
Wifi, 10.1 inch screen, bluetooth, intel atom processor, weight is 1kg-1.117kg (whether using the 3cell or 6cell battery)

I think most netbook manufactures and forgotten their roots when it comes to designing a netbook. Toshiba’s NB200 and the Acer Pro 531 are great examples of something that has lost focus on the original idea. I have a 12″ Toshiba proper laptop - it’s a big screen too but is only 2cm wider than both of the above models and almost the same depth. The point, I thought, about netbooks is that they are small and easy to carry - the move into the 10″ screen ruins this concept. I want the above Acer 531 or Toshiba NB200 power but in a NB100 package or it’s no good. Where on earth do they do their market research!!
