Acer Aspire One With Integrated 3G
Posted by Sean Fallon at 4:40 AM on September 9, 2008
According to BGR, The 8.9" Aspire One netbook is expected to be available with integrated 3G starting this November in Taiwan. The upgrade will cost an additional US$95 over the standard model, but there is no word on when we might see a similar bundle arriving in the States. However, integrated 3G was always part of the plan, so with any luck we won't have to wait too long. On a related note, jkOnTheRun spotted a Japanese newspaper flyer that appears to offer a similar bundle with the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 and the HP 2133 along with a US$370 subsidy when users sign up for a two-year 3G plan with Emobile.

Acer is a bit screwy with the Aspire One...
1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Windows XP Home
Price: $350
Downside: 3-cell battery
1GB RAM, 8GB SSD, 6-cell battery, Linux
Price: $400
Downsides: More expensive for much, much, less space (I don't care if it's solid state, that still blows); Linpus Lite
Either throw a better battery on the XP edition, or throw Ubuntu on the SSD edition, and I'd be sold.

You paid $70 more for an extra 512mb of RAM?
Buy the cheap one and max out the ram on ur own later. The first 512mb is on board so you wouldn't even end up w/ any left-over sodimms lying around.

Whew, good thing I'll be surrounded by WiFi on campus, so I won't really need the 3G.

DAMN I WANT THIS SOOOO BAD. I am trying my best to hold out until the 3G roll out. That way I can clone my SIM Card and use my unlimited T-Mo data plan [tethering the Dash is soo damn slow], plus I ordered a new timbuk2 bag today, which this should fit into nicely. Micro Center is teasing me by putting this on the front page of their circular.
Msi--- Blown in the Wind
Dell--- Couldn't Keep the price honest
Lenovo--- if you bat your eyes hard enough I may look
Asus--- Look babe you may have been here first, but the hot chick just showed up to the party.
