Acer has officially announced the 8.9-inch Acer Aspire One today at the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan.
The pricing starts at $379 USD, and it will be available in North America in the third quarter of this year.
It comes with a very handy feature (should you choose the flash memory-based Solid State Disk (SSD)): Smart File Manager, a simple solution that instantly and seamlessly merges extra storage from any SD card inserted in the second SD card slot into the memory available to the user.
Some thing that I would definitely purchase – it comes with a warranty can be extended for up to three years that covers accidental damage. Given that this is a device that is definitely going to be thrown in backpacks, etc., it makes a lot of sense to pick it up.
Additional Specifications:
– Battery life up to 6 hours with 6-cell, up to 3 hours with 3-cell
– 8.9-inch CrystalBrite LED-Backlit Display
– 1024×600 Resolution
– Storage: 8GB NAND Flash Module (SSD) or 80GB HDD
– Optional 3G2 wireless technology in the future

– Initially comes in sapphire blue and seashell white colors
– Additional colors in the future include golden brown and coral pink
Dimensions:
Width: 9.8 inches / 248.9 mm
Depth: 6.7 inches / 170.2 mm
Height: 1.14 inches / 28.96 mm
Weight: Just over 2 pounds / 0.91 kg
I have to say I’m very impressed with Acer’s Aspire One.
