11.6-inch Acer Ferrari One official in US, no HDMI port

11.6inch Acer Aspire One sporting a Ferrari logo is now available in the US. Priced at $600, it measures 11.2 x 8.03 x 0.9/1.2-inch and weighs 3.31 pounds. It runs 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS and comes with 5600mAh 6-cell Battery that should run good for 5-hours

The Acer Ferrari One (model FO200-1799) has 11.6-inch display with1366 x 768 resolution just like the current Acer’s 11.6-incher, Aspire 751H. Underneath, it runs a much more powerful dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 L310 processor (1.2GHz), 4GB RAM, AMD M780G Chipset and 250GB Hard disk. It has a nice ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphic card instead of the pathetic GMA 500 chipset.

However, there is no HDMI port in this model. We wonder why was it removed since it has the GPU and CPU to run HD videos perfectly.
