[LUG] I want one of these!!!

 

Just seen this on The Register...

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/06/03/acer_launches_one/

It's the new Acer Aspire One.

It's got a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 512MB DDR2 memory with one slot  
free, 1280x600 8.9" screen and running Linux, a 3 hour battery life  
which with a bigger battery is extendable up to 7 hours!!!

Not sure how it compares to the EeePC with regards to size/weight but  
if they are at the suggested £200 mark for the Linux version, I'd  
certainly be interested in buying one.

It looks like the Linux version has an 8GB SSD with an SHDC slot so  
you can stick in a whopping big SD card to extend the storage.
