acer aspire one 10 10 inch Acer Aspire One

8.9 inch Acer Aspire One  is a huge success for Acer. With only 1 model, it manage to top the list of most netbook sold last year. When the news broke about 10-inch Acer Aspire One  last year, it bring joy to users who want netbook with bigger screen with competitive priced, as what Acer did with the first version of Acer Aspire One. The rest of netbook manufacturers has come out with their own 10 inch model earlier than that.

The 10-inch Acer Aspire One netbook is predicted to be shipped on the Q1 2009 although it is no where to be seen on local marketplace such as Lowyat.net forum as well as Lelong when I do quick check today.

As KL PC Fair nearing its day,  I believe more users is anticipating this netbook to be there as well. The 8.9 inch model priced between RM1.1 - 1.3K, expect this model to be priced slightly higher, but lesser than Dell Mini Inspiron 10.

Here is the basic spec. Read more at the Acer Aspire mini page.

  • RAM: 1GB. Max upgrade to 2GB
  • Hard Drive Size/Speed: 160GB/5,400 rpm

How netbooks fare with computers

The netbooks obviously gaining a lot of attention recently, thanks to the OLPC & Asus Eee PC who ‘invent ‘ such a cool device and open a way for fierce competition from other manufacturers. Like what I’d wrote yesterday, there are bunches of netbooks on display during my visit to KL’s Pikom PC Fair as well.

Come to the stat, Hitwise’s top 10 most searched for computers by UK Internet users during November 2008, shows that netbooks accounts for 1 in every 7 computer related search. It is also predicted that netbooks will continue to gain market on the expense of computers, especially during the ‘credit crunch’ crisis and the price that lower than its more & powerful sibling.

Started as a low cost computer as an alternative to a full-fledged computer, now netbook has been marketed as a gadget that peoples buy for mobility purpose or secondary computer. Such marketing was fruitful with millions of unit shipped so far.

Samsung NC10 surprisingly topping the Top Netbooks cart with Acer Aspire One and Asus Eee on 2nd and 3rd place respectively. This is a stark contrast with image of Acer Aspire One and Asus Eee which is very synonym with netbook before other player jump on the wagon.

And although Dell is the most search brand in November, Dell Mini Inspiron only ranked on distant 7th place. The stat doesn’t include netbook such as  HP Mini or Lenovo Ideapad.
