Acer Aspire one (Linux)

MSRP: $379

The Aspire one’s easy to use, customized Linux operating system and low price make it a compelling mini-notebook.

Review date: Jul 17, 2008

Mini-notebooks are getting bigger and more elaborate by the day, but Acer enters the crowded market with a simple yet solid miniature laptop for only $379. The Aspire one sports a classic look and its Intel Atom processor gives it a decent amount of power for surfing the Web and light multimedia use. Taking a cue from ASUS’ well-received custom Linux interface, Acer packages the system with a lightweight, customized Linpus Lite Linux operating system. We just wish this netbook lasted longer on a charge. Check out our hands-on video of the Acer Aspire one here »
