Acer Aspire One Price Cut

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

TechGadgets.in is reporting that the price for the Acer Aspire One sub-notebook is being cut to $329 USD (for the Linux version) in the states.  This is the price before sales tax or VAT.  at the moment the Aspire One seems to be retailing for about €299 here in Finland and if one adds VAT to the new price of the Aspire One it comes to about €272, so not a large cut in the end, but it still places the Aspire One at a very attractive price point (IF we see a similar price cut here in Europe).

And here’s my math, if anyone’s interested:

329 USD = 222.86 EUR [1 USD = 0.677 EUR]

222.86 * 1.22 = 271.54 EUR [22% is the VAT here in Finland]

Not so long ago it was next to impossible to find a sub-notebook of any kind in Finnish stores, now it seems that several shops are offering atleast one of the major models (ASUS Eee PC, MSI Wind, Acer Aspire One). Below are some of the best deals I could find, please let me know if you come across any better ones.

Hands on With Acer’s Aspire One Netbook

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

No, I’m afraid that no one sends me things to test…  But PC World does have a hands on review of the Acer Aspire One.  And aren’t happy they are with it.. The author calls it “one of the best mini-notebooks I’ve tested for the price — which ranges from US$399 to $499, software and other features.”
