•The Acer Aspire one, one of our first thoughts is that this doesn’t look like a budget machine. The system sports a glossy white lid on the outside (it will also be available in black and blue), and a glossy black bezel on the inside which frames the 8.9-inch, 1024 x 600-pixel resolution display

• The perimeter of the 9.8 x 6.7 x 1.1-inch Aspire one serves up the following ports: three USB 2.0, a Kensington lock, VGA, Ethernet, and headphone and mic jacks. One particularly useful aspect of the machine is the inclusion of two memory card slots: one dedicated SD, and another 5-in-1.

• The Aspire One comes with Linpus Linux Lite with Firefox 2.014, an instant messaging client that’s compatible with AIM, Google Talk, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo Messenger, Aspire one Mail, an RSS reader, Skype, and links to Wikipedia, Google Maps, and Hotmail. Work contains the OpenOffice suite, Contacts, Calculator, Notes, and Calendar. Fun houses the Media Master multimedia player, Photo Master picture manager, the KolourPaint paint program, a webcam, and a slew of causal games. The Files section is home to the My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, My Videos, My Downloads, and My Files folders.

What I like about it is the 8GB SSD, which is much robust compared to HDD. And also the Intel Atom processor which is very power efficient. The price and specs makes it very tempting to purchase. I could have if not for the information I gained today about Dell’s own netbook appropriately dubbed as E. This one with almost the same spec as Aspire One is supposed to cost only Php 15,900.
