Acer, not Asus.

I guess they didn't mention the Acer AS1410 & AS1810 lines since they are technically "laptops", even though they have 11.6" screens and fit into the same neoprene sleeve as a 10.1" Acer Aspire One.

It has something to do with Intel only letting manufacturers use Atom processors in anything that is marketed as a netbook.

P.S. Nice avatar. I graduated UF in 2001.
