Notebook Price WatchThe laptop market has just added a new category of machines, one which we like to call portable ultrathins. With pioneers in the form of the Dell Inspiron 11z, Gateway EC1403 and Acer Aspire AS1410, these laptops come with either single-core Celeron or dual-core Pentium chips and the latest Intel GMA X4500 integrated graphics chipsets. We think this new range of machines will change the low-cost laptop game, as they have similar computing and graphics performance as larger CULV notebooks such as the Acer Timeline series while offering the portability and affordability of Netbooks (granted the latter's battery life is still generally superior). It may be early days, but the impact on the budget market will be real once more portable ultrathins start popping up.

This is a special promotion for students. At this price, it's the cheapest tablet PC in the market. The unit also comes with a free four-cell battery to complement the bundled eight-cell battery.
