Calpella Slim notebook from Acer

As we saw in early February in this article, Acer is preparing to launch a new range of ultra-thin laptops Intel Calpella platform, known by the codename Calpella Slim.

The thinnest point, this notebook will measure less than 25 millimeters, so that the first rumors had highlighted the similarity with a MacBook Air with only 19mm thick. Expected three sizes of notebooks Calpella Slim: 13 inches, 14 inches and 15 inches. The ultraportable 13 “will be produced by Wistron, while the other two will be produced by Quanta. Not Cannibalize range of laptops CULV, Timeline Aspire, Acer should proceed to a decrease in prices of those rules so they are less expensive models Calpella Slim as they become available on the market.


So must be remembered that most customers prefer to focus on performance rather than on autonomy, penalizing the sales of portable CULV below forecasts. Recall that the notebook CULV have been launched to offer an alternative to all those who sought to netbook performance and a more convenient format. The performance of portable PCs CULV are certainly higher than those of the Netbook, but in proportion to their costs are much higher than the mini-notebook. For this reason, the notebook CULV have been a failure.

Although sales of these models increases from month to month, users are no longer willing to pay 2 or 3 times the price of a netbook for slightly higher performance, larger size and good battery life. This JT Wang, chairman of Acer, got it. With its new range Calpella Slim, the Taiwanese company intends to conquer those who seek a notebook smaller than traditional laptops, while providing performance far more interesting patterns CULV.

At the moment we do not know the configurations and prices of new mobile Calpella slim Acer. However, Wang believes that the ultra-thin models represent 30-40% of Acer’s sales in 2010, a figure that represented by 13 to 18 million units disposed of. To market analysts, the models of Acer Calpella Slim could exceed the threshold of 10 million units sold.
