The baby sister is getting ready to go away to college for the first time and her Dell is fried... Figures. After calculating all the other expenses and what she will need, that MacBook Air she wants is no where near within a reasonable reach right now.While scouring the web for a good low cost laptop I tripped across the above - The Acer Aspire One. There are currently two models offered online. Both have a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor and 1,024x600-pixel resolution 8.9-inch displays. The $379 version (model number A110-1295) has 512MB of RAM, Linux, and an 8GB solid-state hard drive, while another version (A150-1006), for $399, has 1GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive, and Windows XP.
The Aspire One will be available in 4 colors. White, blue, (featured above) pink & brown.The Acer is one of a number of mini-notebooks now hitting the market such as the Sylvania G, The HP Mini-Note or the Asus Eee-PC. For $399 plus the cost of an external optical drive, I think this may just be the kind of notebook an aspiring International Relations major would need.
Now I just have to see if she agrees.
