Those who are wishing that Acer would still reduced the price of their Aspire One would be glad to know that Acer has brought down the price of the said netbook to $329 from its previous SRP of $379. Although it’s not quite clear why Acer decided to bring down the price of the Aspire One, it could only point to one thing, it needs to be more competitive and is probably not getting any mileage as against the more popularly priced Eee PC 901 which is currently selling at Amazon for $379.99
For a difference of $50, you’ll get the same specs as the Eee PC 901 - 8.9-inch display, 1.6GHz ATOM processor, 512 MB of RAM, 8GB of Flash Drive and Linux OS. So, if you’re not really an Eee PC fan and looking for just a netbook which you can tout around, the Acer Aspire One would seem to be a better choice. Will this affect the Eee PC 901’s sales? I would like think that it won’t really matter. The interest with the Eee PC 901 has already gone down with the successive release of other Eee PC models.But if ACER is still targetting those who have not bought a netbook by now, chances are they might get those in their sales inventory.
Incidentally, other higher-end models of the Acer Aspire One has also received a price cut. The mid-range Aspire One is now selling for $349 from $399.

Where is the 901 for $379 on Amazon? I see the
900 for $399 and the 901 for $589.
Just a thought, hmm… no make that two:)
Isn’t it a bit weird to use all these touch-pads with the buttons at the side instead of having them at the bottom as the Eee. Perhaps you could get used to it but I doubt it. I’m still waiting for the Eee 901 to be released in the north of Europe but of course I’m also looking into the possibility of having another net-book than the Eee, what do you say, is it just in my imagination that the touch-pad is an issue? Also, do any other than the Eee had multi-touch?
Thanx for a great news-feed!
