Acer Aspire One D250 now available for a little over $500 USD

David Gonzales — Sun, 10 May 2009 20:36:26 +0000

A little over 2 months ago, Acer’s first 10-inch netbook went on sale on Amazon for $350 USD. This, of course, is the Acer Aspire One D150, which we’ve had the chance to review just recently. Over the weekend, its successor just became available in the Philippines, and I believe it’s going to be available in other markets across Asia (if it isn’t already) as well as Amazon and other online stores that sell netbooks very soon.

In the Philippines, I know of at least one local retailer that is already selling these netbooks, and I was informed that the AAO D150 would be phased out already in favor of this new 10-inch model. What makes the Acer Aspire One D250 so great? Well, for starters, it comes with an Intel Atom N280 processor, which has been proven to be generally faster (though only by a little) than the Atom N270 which has been the norm for netbooks for quite some time now. Besides which, you can consider the Aspire One D250 as just an Acer Aspire One D150 with a better processor and sleeker design. Some of the ports have been rearranged to be positioned evenly between the left and right sides, but the overall look and feel is basically the same.

The price Acer is asking for an Aspire One D250 is the same as the price of an Aspire One D150: 23,995 Pesos or about $507 USD. Right now, I’m a little wary if this model is really worth the upgrade/price increase, but I’ll be spending time with it later today to find out. I’ll let you know what happens then.

AT&T 3G-enabled Acer Aspire One to become available through Costco on May 11th

David Gonzales — Mon, 04 May 2009 19:17:59 +0000

Rumors of a subsidized 3G-enabled 10-inch Acer Aspire One going on sale through Costco have been floating around weeks ago. Now, we have even more evidence in support of these rumors. By way of leaked internal documents, it has been revealed that Costco employees are currently being trained for an upcoming launch and the reportedly, D-Day will be on May 11th. That is, when the 10-inch netbook will finally be available, not only on Costco’s kiosks, but also on AT&T’s stores. There’s no word yet on a final price, but it shouldn’t be too far from how much the subsidized 3G-enabled 9-inch model is selling these days, which isn’t much, if you don’t count the obligatory 2-year contract.

Samsung NC20 now up for pre-order from Amazon UK

David Gonzales — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 05:53:34 +0000

The long-awaited 12-inch Samsung NC20 has just gone up for pre-order on Amazon UK, and anyone living in or near the UK can take advantage of this sale now. In case you’ve forgotten, the NC20 is a follow-up to the 10-inch NC10, and features Via’s Nano processor, first and foremost, instead of an Intel Atom like most other netbooks available in the market today. It will also probably run Windows 7 easily, though it would be better to confirm it when the unit actually ships. Its price is a bit steep at around $489 USD, but it should be well worth the money, especially when it’s bundled with a standard 6-cell battery.

Samsung NC20 debuts in Germany, Ukraine

David Gonzales — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:33:36 +0000

The Samsung NC10 might be getting a new paint job, but let’s not forget that an entirely new netbook will soon be coming to a computer store near you. The one I’m talking about is the Samsung NC20, which as you might have guesses is the proper successor of the earlier mentioned netbook. Reportedly, it is already available in places like Germany and Ukraine, costing about 499 Euros or $659 USD. Of course it is at least $100 more expensive than the Samsung NC10, but that’s primarily because it has a bigger screen, among other things. The earlier reported release date of this netbook is supposed to be on February, but it doesn’t hurt that it’s been made available early, at least in some places.
