Due to be launched in Japan towards the end of the month, the new Gateway netbook will be called the ‘LT1001j’. Of course, as we’ve said in previous reports Acer are the parent company of Gateway, so the LT1001j has been labelled by some as a brother or cousin of the Acer Aspire One.

The Gateway netbook, the company’s first netbook release in Japan, will be powered by an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor and will be fitted with an 8.9 inch WSVGA display. Gateway will install Windows XP and 1GB of RAM in the LT1001j and with a 160GB hard drive for storage, this could be a successful debut netbook for the company on Japanese shores.

TG Daily have reported that Acer are planning on boosting their new model of netbook - the 10.2 inch Acer Aspire One by installing not Linux, not Windows XP but, by installing Windows Vista on their next generation of netbooks.

According to the article on TG Daily, the new model will be powered by an Intel Atom CPU and will possibly be branded as the “N-Series” in Acer’s future netbook line up. It is expected that the 10.2 inch Acer netbook will support upto 320GB hard drives and that these models will cost from $500 when they are released in 2009.

Acer could be hoping to out-sell their rivals Asus in the netbook market by using the Vista operating system as an incentive to buyers and with a larger screen too that would seem incentive enough but, it remains to be seen whether consumers will be happy to pay up to $200 more for the new Acer netbook than for the current Aspire One which is popular in it’s own right, without the 10.2 inch screen or Vista OS.

After spending a little time on the HP website looking at the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Limited Edition which, is something that should appeal to the female netbook user more than the guys out there, it was a ‘girlie fate’ that brought the upcoming Acer Aspire One to my attention.
