We can expect this to be a fairly slim machine. Of course, it will probably have an awful protrusion to allow for the 6-cell battery, which will be required, given that their optimistic battery life estimate is only 3 hours with the 3-cell. That probably means 2 hours in real usage, which is lame in a world where netbooks are getting 8+ hours. Dimensions: 292 X 216 X 22-28.9mm The specs are listed 0.87″ to 1.14″ at it’s thickest point. 1,4″ is a typo (I think).

And they couldn't find room for more than a THREE CELL BATTERY? C'mon, this thing with an Ion in it is going to be a joke battery-life wise. There are 10" netbooks that have room for a 6 cell without any part of the battery sticking out. Why couldn't they manage that on this notebook? Its a 12″ notebook that is 1.4″ thick.
