The number of 11.6-inch tablet convertible notebooks seem to be increasing almost daily. The Acer 1820PT model has shown up for pre-order in both Australia and Italy, and now has an official product page over at Acer US.

The Acer Aspire Timeline 1820PT is one of a number of convertible tablet PCs such as the Acer 1420P, 1820P, and 1820PTZ. This specific Acer Aspire 1820P model features an 11.6-inch multitouch display with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, and Windows 7 Home Premium edition.

The Acer 1820PT also features an ultra-low-voltage Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.2GHz dual core processor, upto 8GB of RAM, Intel GMA X4500MHD graphics, 320GB hard drive, 802.11b/g WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth. We expect the Bluetooth and 3G will be optional.

It also claims an impressive eight hour battery life from it’s 6-cell battery, and features an HDMI output.

It looks and sounds a lot like the Acer 1820P. While no price or release date are currently known, we expect it to be available in the US very soon.

Update: The Acer Aspire Timeline Acer 1820PT looks set to be released in the UK on December 9th for €599 (£540).
Update 2: The Acer Aspire 1820PT has now shown up on the offical Acer US website, so we now know for certian that it will be relwased in the U.S!  Unfortunatly no price or release date are currently known.
