Digital Home Thoughts: Aspire One Now Available

"The Acer Aspire One is now available from U.S. retailers including Amazon.com, Buy.com, NewEgg.com and many others. If you’re thinking of buying an ASUS Eee PC 901, MSI Wind or an HP 2133 you should definitely take a look at the Acer Aspire One. Acer boasts that the Aspire One can run for up to seven hours on an optional six-cell battery, which is very impressive for such an affordable notebook. The Acer Apire One features Intel’s Atom, which is designed specifically for small mobile devices. It has an 8.9-inch display with a resolution of 1024×600 pixels and an integrated Web cam. Available in three models, the Acer One is available with either Windows XP Home or Linux operating systems."

At not too much more than I paid for the original Eee, this looks like a hit. I especially like the available extended battery. I will be upgrading to something with an 8.9 inch screen in the near future, but I'm holding out for the new Dell since rumor is it will be priced at $299. If you can't wait, you can pick this up from Amazon (Affiliate) now.
