With more and more netbooks coming to market every week, it was inevitable that some companies would become dropping prices on current models. Case in point- Acer has announced that they are lowering the price of their Aspire one lineup which frankly was already an inexpensive Intel Atom system. The base model which comes with a 1.6GHz Atom, 512MB of RAM, an 8GB SSD, and a Linux OS now goes for $329 (down from $379). The next system which has 1GB of memory, 120GB HDD, and the Windows XP OS now goes $349 (down from $399). Finally, on the high end, Acer introduces a new 160GB model with a six cell battery. This model will go for $399. The Aspire one would certainly be an attractive netbook were it not for the strange mouse buttons and the cramped keyboard. Then again – at $329, one might be able to forgive these deficiencies.
