Acer Announces AS1410: Notebook Guts with Netbook Price Tag
If it looks like a netbook and comes priced like a netbook, then surely it is a netbook, right? Not necessarily. Acer's new AS1410 may look the part of an underpowered PC, but on the inside, Acer's traded the low rent hardware found in just about every netbook for a slightly more powerful setup.
Instead of Intel's Atom platform, the 11.6-inch AS1410 comes built around a Celeron SU2300 processor (1.2GHz, 1MB L2 cache, 800MHz frontside bus). Not exactly a screamer, but a definite step up from the N270 and N280 chips that litter the netbook landscape.
It also comes with 2GB of DDR2-667 RAM, or twice as much as you'll find in a netbook. Other specs include a 160GB hard drive upgradeable to 250GB, Intel's GMA 4500MHD graphics, a multi-card reader, three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI port, 6-cell battery, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Acer says the AS1410 will be available in time for the holidays with prices starting at $400.

If it just came with an ATI or NV video chipset this little netbuddy would get the doe, but *sigh* back to HP I go, where is the NV netbook chipset form other dealers? I only see HP and Iveeno* is that their name?

This isn't a netbuddy or netbook. It's a compact notebook. You obviously know nothing about computers since you can't even pronounce Nvidia and Lenovo correctly.
