Of course, we don’t necessarily think they should try and hide these. After all, an 11.6-inch capacitive touchscreen netbook seems pretty great to us. And sure, these models seem to be upgrades to two Acer model netbooks that still haven’t been released, we’re still plenty excited. <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-78249" src="http://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Acer-Aspire-Twist.jpg" alt="Acer Aspire Twist" width="473" height="437" title="" /> </blockquote> Full Story: <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/acer-aspire-1825pt-and-1825ptz-are-11-6-inch-capacitive-touchscreen-netbooks-1878248/">Acer Aspire 1825PT and 1825PTZ Are 11.6-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen Netbooks</a> Chris Davies on "Intel Core i3, i5 & i7 notebook CPUs in short supply?" http://discuss.slashgear.com/topic/intel-core-i3-i5-i7-notebook-cpus-in-short-supply#post-8771 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 05:51:57 +0000 Chris Davies 8771@http://discuss.slashgear.com/ <blockquote>Acer’s <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/?s=acer+calpella" target="_blank">enthusiastic embrace</a> of Intel’s latest Core i3, i5 and i7 “<a href="http://www.slashgear.com/tags/calpella" target="_blank">Calpella</a>” notebook processors for their upcoming TimelineX range has seemingly thrown the chipmaker’s production lines into a panic, with DigiTime’s manufacturing sources <a href="http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20100318PD209.html" target="_blank">reckoning that</a> the CPUs are now in relatively short supply.

Stylish, sleek and convenient to use. The best feature of this computer I think is the design.

Moreover, this review is really helpful too.
