PC Makers Face Netbook Peril - Barron's
,----[ Quote ]
| Another blow to bottom lines is the emergence of netbooks just as the dollar
| is spiking against the euro and other currencies. The PC industry generates
| much of its revenue abroad, and a stronger dollar is hurting exports. Scott
| Craig, of Bank of America, slashed his estimates for Dell and HP for this
| reason. He also cut his forecast for 2009 global PC unit growth to 3% from
| 5%, and believes industry revenue will shrink 11% in 2009.

The Acer Aspire One Netbook Review
,----[ Quote ]
| We'll be taking a look at the Acer's Aspire One, which makes its debut into
| the rough and ever-evolving world of the netbook market. Featuring an
| 8.9-inch screen packed into a compact frame, this version of the Aspire One
| that we're reviewing uses Linux and has only 8GB of storage space, similar to
| the earlier ASUS Eee PC models. Size wise, this unit is slightly bigger than
| the Eee PC 901, but still smaller than the MSI Wind NB U100.

Acer Aspire One: the new sub-laptop to beat?
,----[ Quote ]
| Mind you, the 120GB HDD-equipped One is only down as £30 more and comes with
| 1GB of memory rather than 512MB, though that's plenty for Linux and do you
| really want a hard drive in a machine that's going to be chucked around a
| lot? Well, at least you have the choice.

Acer: PC industry 'disappointed' with Vista
,----[ Quote
| Acer president Gianfranco Lanci became the first major PC manufacturer to
| openly attack Microsoft over the Windows Vista operating system in the
| Financial Times Deutschland on Monday.
|
| 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 is the world's fourth-largest PC manufacturer, after HP, Dell and
| Lenovo.
|
| "The whole industry is disappointed with Windows Vista," Lanci said.
