Price?
ASDA Cannock have them £200 odd but I think they are the XP ones.
Maplin has reduced their Netbook (Linux) its now £139.00
£219 for the 512mb RAM and 120gb HD model. I want the 1gb RAM and
120gb HD model though. They do a similar one with 160gb HD but I
don't think it's available in the UK.
Having done some Googling the 1gb RAM model is cheaper by about £20
online at various places. I haven't sen any netbooks in ASDA Cannock?
Where are they hiding them? I always take a trip down by the tv's
while Kim is doing the rest of the shopping.
I have to say I think the Aspire One knocks the socks off the eeepc.
Sorry guys but it's a personal opinion having played on both. The
keyboard is nicer on the Aspire.
