Did you hear? 11.6-inch is the new 10-inch, and as such, one of Acer’s newest “top-of-the-line” models sports an 11.6-inch screen instead of the usual 10-incher. You’ve seen it unboxed, but in case that’s not enough, we’ve been able to get our hands on one recently and thus, we put it through a quick hands-on test to see how it fares.

The Acer Aspire One 751 moves away from the usual netbook specs of just a few months ago and carries an Atom Z520 processor, Windows Vista, and a very slim and sexy exterior. It has so far proved to be much slimmer than any other netbook I have put against it (except perhaps the 1000HA). It is also quite light considering the size and the 11.6-inch screen really shows a noticeable difference in size compared to other models.

We’re pretty sure you still remember Acer’s 11.6 netbook which was then called Ultra. Well, apparently that Acer Netbook is now donning a new branding – Aspire One 751.  Complete with full specs and a release date, Acer Germany’s site has all of a sudden displayed the Aspire One 751 on their website.

Let’s see what this new Acer netbook baby has to offer then.  An Intel Atom Z520 processor paired with a US15WExpress Chipset, 2GB RAM, LED-backlit 200-nit WXGA display with 1366×768 resolution, Wi-Fi b/g and an optional Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and triband UMTS/HSPA WWAN.

In addition, the Aspire One 751 would either have 3-cell and 6-cell batteries with an estimated life of up to 8 hours. Said netbook is expected to arrive in the UK markets anytime this May. It would have a hefty price tag of around $518. As usual, no words yet as to when this will be available in the U.S.
