Now you can pre-order the new 10-inch Acer Aspire One at J&R, which is now available for quite affordable price of $349.99. It is available in four different colors: black, white, red and blue.

Specifications

• Intel Atom N270 (1.6GHz)
• 10.1” at 1024 x 600 resolution display
• 1GB RAM
• 160GB HDD
• GMA 950 graphics
• Windows XP Home SP3
• Webcam
• 802.11b/g wireless
• 6-Cell Battery
• 2.95 lbs

The one available at J&R is different from the one available at PCcorner, which sports an Intel N280 Atom processor @ 1.66GHz and a 320GB HDD instead of 160GB HDD found at J&R

At first, there were no plans for the SSD version of the Acer Aspire 103 netbook, but now it seems that the ACER is indeed planning to release a linux version of their Aspire one 103, whose HDD version was released couple of days back. The SSD will have the capacity of 16GB and will run Linpus, a custom linux distro. Other specs wil remain the same as the HDD version.

It is nice to see that ACER is still thinking about those folks who want the ruggedness and reliability of the SSD. Personally, I use my trusty old ASUS EEE 701 more than my notebook or my ASUS 904HA just because I know that it uses SSD. Although, the capacity of the SSD is not huge, but anyday I would not be carrying my DVD collection on it. If I feel the need of extra space, I can always plug-in my external USB HDD.

We have covered the LG X110 in the past too, which looks a lot like the MSI Wind netbook. The major difference being the inclusion of 3G module. The difference between the LG X110 and the MSI Wind is the use of better casing in X110. It has the same  comfortable keyboard found in MSI Wind.

Here are the specifications of X110:

• 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor
• 10-inch WSVGA LCD
• 1GB (DDR2 533MHz) RAM
• 160GB HDD
• RF Receiver – HSUPA
• 82 Key full keyboard
• 1.3 megapixel camera
• Windows Vista OS
• Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
• 3-cell battery/6-cell optional
• 3 USB Ports

The funny part is that if you go for the free-netbook plan, you would have paid nearly $1000 to your network provider.

While most of the (male) professionals would not like to carry the pink color along with them, the blue color would be less embarrassing to carry. Personally, I would still go for the black color. [NotebookItalia]
