Acer has finally made its inexpensive fanless laptops Aspire E11 and V11 for sale. This is a small laptop that sells for mere 250 dollars.

The V11 is similar to the E11 and it adds a touchscreen display. We had a chance to play with the E11 and we found this laptop to be thin and light.

Both E11 and V11 offer performance that is good enough for basic tasks with all day battery life.

It shall be noted that since the processor is very, very power frugal, you should not expect its 7.5 watt processor to match the performance of a 15w haswell CPU.
