11.2″ x 7.8″ x 1″ and 2.76 lb with 3 cell and 2.98 lb with 6 cell.
This is my calculations from the metric units on Slashgear's translation of Acer's German web page:
http://www.slashgear.com/acer-aspire-one-751-11...
So for camparison, it's about an 0.9″ wider than the Sammy, 0.5″ deeper, maybe a bit thinner, and (6 cell model) 1.6 oz heavier. I don't know the width of the 11.6″ screen, but I'm guessing that, because of the aspect ratio difference, it's probably wider than the nominal 12″ screen on a Lenovo x61s (~9.7″).

Remap to what? How?

It's a meta key. It should just work. Optimally, they'd have their own keys arranged like on a desktop keyboard, but we've yet to see anything like a Dell or Lenovo notebook with these discrete layout modified for a 11 or 12" notebook.

It's doubtful these could be mapped to fn+arrows, but there is also no right fn key like there is on the 1004DN.

Basically, it's not like switching to dvorak (which I do use), but rather, it's a key that should have good placement. And pgup/pgdown being put left to right and shared with home/end is a really bad decision.

What is the case size and overall weight?

You can re-map the keys fairly easily – any OS.
I didn't notice that myself – it would drive my crazy (until I re-mapped them).

The netbook is set to go on sale in the UK starting this month for around £349 ($521). [Product Page via Liliputing] [...]

My new notebook is 143ppi. For the size of the screen it is, it's just about right. A smaller netbook I could handle probably a little higher.

I really wish they'd release some higher resolution displays for these damn computers on a regular basis.

Also, what is up with shared home/end and pgup/pgdn on this machine? If it wasn't for that, I'd buy one as soon as it was available. (Something like how the 1004DN handles them seems acceptable for me...)

no, not all small things can be scaled. which is the hitch.

You can never have enough ppi. All things small can be scaled and will look better and sharper afterwards. The 17″ MacBook is 133 ppi, and the HD 2140 and HD Dell Netbook are 155ppi. My 30″ WQXGA display is 100ppi, so I would have to imagine the same amount of pixels on 20″.
Hmm. Maybe it is small…

That comes out to about 135 dots-per-inch – -
a bit easier on the eyes than the HP-2133's 168 dots-per-inch.
