Acer has recently released the 10-inch version of Aspire One netbook, AOD150, in the U.S.

Acer provide a few color options for their new 10-inch Aspire One, but unfortunately pink is not one of them (there's a ruby red version though which might be of interest for pink laptop lovers).


The specs for the Aspire One AOD150 are as follows:

• 10.1-inch 1024×600 Acer CrystalBrite TFT LCD display
• Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor
• 1GB RAM

And as usual, Laptop Magazine has got an early review on the new 10-inch machine from Acer. According to them, the Aspire One AOD150 is slim, stylish, and comes with great performance and battery life. If not because of the keyboard and touchpad layout, it's almost comparable to the Samsung NC10 and the new Asus Eee PC 1000HE... and it beats the other two in terms of price ($349.99). Overall, Laptop Magazine gave it a rating of 4 out of 5.

The Acer Aspire One AOD150 appears to be another great netbook that can be listed in our best netbook list. It's unfortunate that it's currently not available in pink, but we believe sooner or later, Acer will release a pink version, just its 8.9-inch predecessor.

Radio Shack and ATt&T Offer: Acer Aspire One Only for $80!

The $100 laptop seemed an impossible idea when Intel and Nicholas Negroponte started developing their own budget laptops for children of developing countries. When Asus enter to this quest with its Eee PC netbook, this idea became more touchable.

Bu this quest has got a new face since the wireless companies like AT&T starting subsidizing some of the popular netbooks like Eee PC 900 or HP mini 1000.

This time you can find the new offer of an 8.9" Acer Aspire One netbook equipped with WiMAX and 3G wireless in Radio Shack stores for just $80!

Well it sounds to be a great deal but, you can not get this netbook with this price lest you sign up a contract with AT&T for a 2-year wireless data plan costing $1440.

Well, it is clear that this particular offer is only appropriate for particular customers.

Nevertheless, the idea of $100 laptop needs a hard quest and it is impossible idea especially for the children of developing cuntries.

MacBook-Like Acer Aspire 3935 Laptop Starts from $900

Macbook laptops are fashionable, stylish, popular and affordable. So, they are good examples for other laptop makers to follow Mac style. However, it is not enough to get some shares of this laptop in the market lest they offer something more than MacBooks. Acer has tried this path with its upcoming Acer Aspire 3935 laptop. This Mac-like business laptop comes with upmarket 13-inch 16:9 widescreen LED display (rather than a standard LCD monitor), as slender as less than 1-inch and also multi-touch gestures rather than normal touchpad.

But these are not the only highlighted features of Aspire 3935.

This laptop first of all starts from more competitive price of $900- pretty cheaper than MacBook. Also, Acer has claimed that this new laptop is more energy efficient because of its Intel ULV processors and provides an excellent battery runtime up to 10 hours and mere with a single battery.

The third issue that Acer has paid attention and is important for most of laptop users is keeping the laptop cool even under heavy operation. Intel’s passive cooling system on this laptop keeps the outer surface like palm rest and underneath of laptop cool.

Well this laptop from Acer seems to be successful since releasing, for its price and the striking features mentioned above although it doesn’t have the smart and stylish design of MacBooks. Another advantage could be the Windows Operating system on this Acer laptop rather than Mac X OS, as it is more familiar for most of users especially in Asia.

Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop, Another Cheap Mini Laptop

The Acer Aspire One is a 8.9" display netbook ( or mini laptop ) . The base Acer Aspire One, which includes an 8GB SSD and Linux starts at $329 available at amazon.com, which is the cheapest one that has the Intel Atom processor. Below is the Aspire one review from my opinion.

Display
It has a 8.9" , 1024 x 600-pixel resolution , LED Display. The LED backlit display on the Acer Aspire One is very bright and vibrant. The white levels are very clear, leaning towards the cooler or bluer side.

Design
The design of the Acer Aspire One is very sleek with softly rounded edges and a smooth glossy surface that is comfortable to hold when closed. It is accented with distinctive details, such as the attractive orange hinge ring. What I didn’t like is that the Acer Aspire one has a gap between the bottom of the display and the netbook base.
The Build quality looks solid and doesn't look like a budget mini laptop.

Keyboard and Touchpad
I really like the keyboard. It's a great size and doesn't feel crunched up in order to hit a form factor. In fact, because it provides solid key response and a wide gap between buttons, I proclaim this one of the few netbooks to be fully adult-hand friendly

Operating System
The mini laptop comes with either a Linpus Linux or Windows XP operating system.

Battery
If I turn down the brightness, switch off wifi, and use non-CPU intensive applications, I can squeeze a little over 2.5 hours

Conslusion
Pros:
- Great Keyboard considering the mini laptop's size compare with Eee PC 900 or Eee PC901
- Low Price. Excellent value for money.
- Attractive, slim design. Doesn't look like a budget laptop.

Con:
- Very hard for upgrades.
- Noisy cooling fan.
