| At $379, the Aspire One is cheaper than the runaway hit Eee PC from Asus,

| Linux-based Hewlett-Packard Mini-Note. (CNET has not yet reviewed the Aspire
| One, but stay tuned.)

Acer plans new, low-cost laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| Everex’s CloudBook goes on sale at Wal-Mart starting this Friday (2/15/08),
| according to the company. It will cost the same as the Eee PC 4G, but it uses
| a standard 30GB disk drive in place of the smaller SSD. It runs the gOS
| operating system, which is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution,
| and includes the usual open-source suspects (Mozilla Firefox, OpenOffice 2.3
| and GIMP, an image editing program).

| Lanci said the operating system was riddled with problems and gave users and
| businesses no reason to buy a new PC, according to the report. Taiwan-based

Acer: Vista Home Basic is a lemon
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft is effectively smuggling through a price hike for Windows
| Vista - by making the entry-level version so poor that no-one will
| want to use it. So says Jim Wong, senior veep at Acer, the world's
| number four PC maker, who told UK hack Jon Honeyball: "The new
| [Vista] experience you hear of, if you get Basic, you won't feel
| it at all. There's no [Aero] graphics, no Media Center, no
| remote control."
