replacement for an Acer Aspire One 522

[ZippyDan]

I have an Aspire Acer One 522 that I bought in March of 2011

My favorite things about it are: dual-core AMD processor, Radeon graphics, HDMI out, 720p screen, 6 hour+ battery life, overall size (10.1" screen, nice keyboard), 1.3mp webcam, cost (~$300)

I upgraded it to Windows 7 Ultimate and 4gb of RAM and it is almost perfect, but

My least favorite thing about it: no lighted keyboard (super sad face), no bluetooth (meh)

So i'm thinking of upgrading to something better. 18 months later, I expect there should be something newer, faster, cheaper, brighter, but ... it seems Acer hasn't released a successor. Has anyone else? Is something coming soon? Thanks.

also. wait for Win 8, I'm sure there will be lots of discounts and sales (there are already many!)

well ... it is slower than I'd like. It still chugs sometimes even with 4gb of RAM

but the biggest problem is the screen. it seems to have a faulty connector or wire, and the screen goes crazy way too often with flickering lines and sometimes becomes completely unreadable
