Any thoughts on Acer V5-171 11"?

Looks like a step up from NetBooks, normal laptop in an 11" case.

i3-2367m
4gb RAM
Intel HD3000 graphics.

anybody got one or have any experience of one?

Similar priced competitors often have AMD E450 and such like which i imagine are a lot slower.

Had a play with one the other day, was quite impressed by the build quality, if I were in the market for a net book sized unit I'd definitely give one a whirl.

Yes it does feel nice doesnt it.

My 13in macbook is getting very little use so ive been thinking about the 11in air OR saving 400 quid and trying one of these. Im really not bothered about osx or windows.

I need a laptop for uni next month, how does the CPU compare to the newer ivy bridge chip? Find it odd they didn't use the newer chip tbh.
