That 13" model sounds very enticing

I agree and plan on getting one but not for 7, putting Ubuntu on it.

and another model that will get recalled due to overheating! LOL! (note: the 13" of the same model was recently recalled for overheating)

I agree with 13 inch being enticing

8hour battery life with an optical drive, amazing price too

So how is this 11.6 different from the Aspire AS1410 (which I own), which was the 1810T TimeLine re-badged for the US market? Is it the use of a dual-core CULV?

It has the Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 ULV processor, which is a 1.3 ghz dual core 3mb cache processor. Personally, I would buy one of these.

Another just not netbook!
Too large for a netbook, too small for a laptop or notebook!

No the article is a little confusing, the optical drive kicks in on the 14" model, the 13.3 is the same as the 11.4", no internal DVD.

Considering I use my 1410 (1810T) with the single core for everything I need in school (Mathematica, Office 07 etc) I would have to disagree. I get about 4-7 hours on a charge depending on what type of tasks I'm doing, and that's with the puny US battery, not the European one form the timeline series.

The size is plenty big enough for anything that doesn't involve graphic design or CAD work, and really you want to be doing that on your desktop and with your large monitors anyway. This is what size truly portable laptops should be, at 11.6" the sleeve fits in a backpack just fine, and is smaller than most books I carry around.
