11.6″ Acer Aspire One gets Official
The larger Acer Aspire One has now been officially announced and comes with only a bit difference with the other AA1. It will sport the usual Atom processor, 160GB hard disk estate, 1 GB RAM, and maybe the ports around the case. Apart from the larger-but-thinner form factor, it also has Bluetooth, 3G, Dolby Pro Logic Sound plus the 5200mAh battery that keeps the netbook alive up to 8 hours.
Now the only remaining question is when it’s gonna be available and how much it would cost.
Linpus Linux Quick OS Video
Sascha of Netbooknews.de got a quick sneak peek of the instant on OS that Linux offers. From the video it took around 10 secs to complete bootup. The OS is not embedded on the BIOS like Splashtop, but installed on the hard disk. The OS is very light but no exact size was mentioned. The video props an Acer Aspire One which originally comes with Linpus Lite.
8.9 inch SSD Netbooks Price Drops
As part of inventory sales, netbook makers are dropping the prices for their 8.9 netbooks and apparently for smaller sizes ssd-based. Looks like HDD is getting more practical on netbooks since it has larger storage capacity in lesser costs. SSD as we all know has lesser capacity but the prices are very high considering the estate. Now the only advantage we could see for SSD is the ability to r/w faster than HDD (not all times), and avoid breaking itself with major shocks.
In Taiwan, Acer has dropped their price for the 8GB 8.9 inch Aspire One to NT$6999 ($202 USD), while AsusTek puts a tag price of as low as NT$6500 ($187 USD) for their 7″ netbooks and NT$8999 ($260 USD) on 20GB 8.9″ netbooks.
