My Windows Mobile phone and PDA fit in my pocket, but I won’t type out a long email or spend any significant time surfing the web on them.

I’ll be taking the new dual core AS1410 on a long international trip soon. It is going to make a huge difference in my traveling comfort compared to my previous trips where I lugged this 6lb Toshiba A105 15.4″.

I will agree that around 12″ is the sweet spot for most people. They can see everything clearly, and it’s usually not heavy. But it offers practically no portability benefit over a 14″, unless it’s a really bulky 14″ and a really slim 12″.

Send me a message when you get to the sub-7″ range. Then it’ll be an ultra-portable. Like my 4.8″ UMID M1. Fits in my pocket. Now THAT’S ultraportable.

That being said, this does look like a good, low-cost, entry-level laptop that is more on the portable side than most laptops. I approve of the laptop, just not all the people claiming it as a netbook or especially an ultraportable.

I was a little let down that the Acer website said it would have one 2GB module, and it came with 2 x 1 GB. Also, the keyboard has a noticeable bit of flex.

In comparison to the Dell 9 Mini, which I used owned prior to this, the performance is leaps and bounds better – I can work all day on the laptop, the keyboard is great to type on, and I can watch 720p video on YouTube.

I am very, very satisfied with the notebook so far. The battery life, so far, is about 4-5 hours, not 6, but I generally have a browser with 10+ tabs open, an Internet radio station open, and a few messaging programs.
