Acer unveils Ultra-portable One
Almost everyone seems to have jumped into the ultra-portable bandwagon these days, and though some have released very impressive units that boast of high end specs, price-wise, the Eee PC still reigns supreme.
That was until Acer decided to join the fray. The Acer Aspire One rumored to just cost around $ 399 (Linux OS) which is way lower than the Eee PC making this the most affordable ultra-portable that comes from a known PC manufacturer. Those who attended Computex 2008 had an opportunity to see this thing of beauty first hand. Engadget even has a quick hands-on review on it based on the unit displayed at the showroom floor.
So what does $ 399 get you? You get a compact laptop that looks somewhat like a cross between an Eee and a Mini-Note. The keyboard layout albeit being a tad smaller is similar to the HP 2133, but spec-wise, it leans more toward the Eee. It’s got a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 512MB RAM, 8GB SSD, Wi-Fi (b/g), 8.9-inch screen, 1.3-megapixel camera, card reader and a Linpus Linux OS. A Windows version will also be made available at a higher cost with a 80GB HDD. It will become available in various colored editions that include red, blue and pink. Specifics as to its availability have yet to be disclosed.
It looks like the competition is indeed stepping up, but we’ll reserve our judgment on the Aspire One once we get a full hands-on review on this nifty lappie.
