The progression of ever-faster notebooks seems to have dwindled, but the quest for thinner and lighter goes on. Acer is said to be finding the balance between those two goals with its next suite of thin performers, starting with a range of mid- and high-end portables based on Intel's Calpella (http://www.engadget.com/tag/calpella) series of processors, the Nehalem (http://www.engadget.com/tag/nehalem) spin-off that we haven't heard much about lately. Sizes are said to be 13-, 14-, and 15-inches, all will be manufactured by Wistron, and all said to be one inch thin at their thinnest point -- hopefully not much thicker elsewhere if they want to turn heads. These higher-performing machines will eventually phase out Acer's CULV (http://www.engadget.com/tag/acer,culv) offerings, which apparently have had unimpressive sales thanks to a perceived lack of performance by consumers. We can't imagine where they got that idea (http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/acer-aspire-timeline-review-roundup/)...Acer launching thin, Calpella-based notebooks this summer?
