The Aspire one has the potential to be a very solid mini-notebook at an incredibly competitive price. At $379, this system is cheaper than the Eee PC 900 series ($550 - $600), the MSI Wind (planned at $399 with Linux and $499 with XP), and the HP MiniNote (starts at $499, but most configs are much higher). It even sports a better price than the 7-inch first-gen Eee PC 4G (still $399 in most places), while offering a powerful Atom processor and a 1024×600 screen.
However, in order to get more than three hours of battery life you’ll want to spring for the six-cell battery. Acer will make configurations of the Aspire one available with this battery, as well as offer it as an add-on, but pricing has yet to be determined.
Nevertheless, this mini-notebook is one of the thinnest and lightest we’ve tested, which also offers it a competitive advantage. The customized linux interface is also one of the best we’ve seen, a worthy competitor to ASUS’s customized version of Xandros linux. We look forward to putting the two custom Linuxes head-to-head.
