“Netbooks are a very good solution for mobile people, and help to satisfy certain needs, the margin impact of netbooks is better than on notebooks. The margin of netbooks is not a problem.”

Those are the words of Acer President and CEO Gianfranco Lanci delivered during an Acer Global press conference in Budapest, Hungary. Mr. Lanci also confirmed that due to the success of their Acer Aspire One netbook, it is most likely that the company is planning to release an Aspire One netbook with larger screen. And this is understable since most of the late comers in the scene did not bother to come up with a 7-inch and 8.9-inch netbook anymore, but instead immediately released their notebook with the 10-inch screen.

Additionally, he also said that the current model of the Acer Aspire One will soon have a 3G capability as well as WiMAX to futher boost the success of their netbook.

Similarly, Mr. Lanci also announced that Gateway, the company which they recently bought will also be coming out with a netbook of their own.

There you go, Acer fans, better wait up for these new model of the Aspire One if you haven’t bought one for yourself, unless of course if you’re looking into another brand.
