Even with what appears to be a six-cell battery, it&rsquo;s super thin. Editor-in Chief Mark Spoonauer says it&rsquo;s the &ldquo;sleekest he&rsquo;s ever seen.&rdquo; To boot, the glossy black stylings give it a classy, understated look. In addition to the slimness, the thing that struck us most was the 11.6-inch display, a screen size we&rsquo;re not used to seeing. Aside from being bright, we were impressed with the LCD panel&rsquo;s 1366 x 768 resolution, the first time we&rsquo;ve seen that resolution on a netbook."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1239663831.usr10.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Pretty excited about the screen resolution on this one.&nbsp; The extra screen resolution will be especially noticable to those who use a lot of applications that are taller than 600 pixels.</p>
