The 11.6” range of netbooks is a personal favourite, offering a decent sized screen with higher resolutions than your typical 10.1” display or more cost effective than the ones that it equals.  Although the new Acer Aspire 1430 Notebook doesn’t technically qualify as a netbook, it does provide a fantastic solution for either a netbook or a laptop.

With its small stature, you would be forgiven that thinking the Acer Aspire 1430 Notebook was rather underpowered but with a Core i5-540UM processor under the hood, it packs quite a punch, with a core clock of 1.2GHz with a max turbo speed of 2.0GHz of course it’s no monster but with its extremely portable design it’s quite a powerhouse.

As mentioned before, the Aspire 1430 comes with an 11.6” display at 1366 x 768 pixels resolution, powered by Intel HD graphics and 4GB of DDR3 RAM. For storage, Acer has included a 320GB HDD which should be more than enough for such a portable device and of course Wi-FI 902.11b/g/n to keep it so. The rest of the features are as you would expect, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit to cater for all that RAM, a webcam built into the lid, Gigabit LAN port, HDMI and VGA out and of course a sprinkling of USB 2.0 ports.

There is no pricing information available just yet, but given that this particular device is lacking in the graphics card department, I wouldn’t expect it to be too much more than £400, but that remains as speculation.
