10.1-inch Acer Aspire 103 official photos and profile showcased

Being the only netbook maker without a 10-inch variant of their highly successful product, we knew Acer was quietly planning to unleash their Samsung NC10 killer sometime soon. Previous reports pin February 2009 as the most likely release date, so it shouldn’t be long before we can finally get our hands on this 2nd-gen Acer netbook. But for some people (mostly geeks like us here at the Eee PC Blog and others who share our passion for netbooks) just can’t wait for the final release date to arrive. And so, to tide these people over until that day, here are several new official photos of the 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One (aka Acer Aspire 103).

According to a short comparison profile created by the source of these photos, the new 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One will only be a tad bit thicker at 260 mm, and battery life with the 6-cell version is said to be up to 7 hours as opposed to the 6.5 hours that the current 9-inch system gets. We’ll have to confirm that battery life claim for ourselves once we can secure our own Acer Aspire 103, but for now, feel free to join us in gleaming over these fine-looking official pics.
