(PRE-ORDER ) Acer Aspire One 1.6GHz / 512MB / 8GB SSD / 8.9" / Linux
£219.99
This is the entry model, also this is the cheapest price i can find it at, the next best price is £10 more at Play.com (but you can use the £5 off voucher on top of that from the vouchers section here at HDUK, so only £5 more expensive really.
Amazon and Play have all models ready for preorder at what seem to be the best prices, although Play claims it will get them in stock sooner then amazon, but they've said that about things before and often knock the date back.
Specifications are as listed:
* Processor: Intel Atom N270 1.6Ghz Processor (533 MHz FSB, 512 KB L2 cache)
* Memory: 512MB
* HD Capacity: 8GB SSD
* Display: 8.9" WSVGA (1024 x 600)
* Graphics Card: Integrated
* Operating System: Linpus Linux Lite
* Optical Drive: None
* Networking: 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, 10/100 Fast Ethernet,
* Interfaces:
* 5-in-1 card reader (SD, MMC, MS, MS PRO, xD)
* SD card reader
* 3 USB 2.0 ports
* External display (VGA) port
* Headphone/speaker/line-out jack
* Microphone-in jack
* Ethernet (RJ-45) port
* DC-in jack for AC adapter
And as it seems obligatory to post this too, First Post ;-) Suggestions welcome, and i hope someone finds this useful.Amazon UK Vouchers: 25% - MBGXVAK6

Also - can they be charged via the USB port?  If so, I don't think any of these recent netbooks, let alone standard notebooks, allow the device itself to be charged via USB. It's 99.9% of the case that people want to charge something else via the netbook's USB. |

None of these netbooks can be charged via USB, or anything else other then their AC adapters. Maybe some sort of electrical mod will alow this, but they require so much voltage/ampage, i dont think it would be possible.

Is this because you want to charge it via your car's cig-to-usb adaptor? If so, I don't think any of these recent netbooks, let alone standard notebooks, allow the device itself to be charged via USB. It's 99.9% of the case that people want to charge something else via the netbook's USB. What I had been thinking about was is - (say for example) it took 18v from the power adaptor - a battery box with 15 x AA 2700mAh rechargeables could be used to power it - as it would be used while travelling - and I could top them up once I arrive to use them in the radio/PMRs/MP3 player/torch/mobile battery extender I normally take and use once there. |

Nice price, bare in mind though, these aspire one's only last about 2 1/2hours battery with screen on medium brightness . An extra battery is about £68 Compared to a EEE 901 lasting 8hours.  |

Just noticed this has shown up on PC worlds web site, and with their price match you'd get it for the even cheaper price of 218.99 Not that I'm knocking it of course, just wondering |
