Aside from this, it is speculated to consist of three USB ports, VGA-out, a webcam and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi. The device also will also feature HDMI out, a feature not available on other similar Aspire devices.
Pricing information on the product has not been mentioned, but rumors have it that the device may retail at around $450 to $600.
