[Melbourne-pm] Acer Aspire

[Ryan, Martin G]

Hi MPMers,

Having been gently chastised for daring to suggest an oh-so-yesteryear Toshy laptop (what a brick!) :-), I thought I'd redeem myself with this little find;

ASUS EEE PC 1000HD Windows XP Edition
RRP$699. 10" Screen, 80GB HDD, 6 Cell Battery
1GB RAM
80GB HDD
802.11b/g/n
1.3M webcam
4.5 hr battery life
XP home

Available - for the next 24 hours only - from http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/ for $498.
Free shipping if you pay via paypal.

Please note that I have no affiliation with COTD other than being a past happy customer.
..and for those getting a little bored with this off topic stuff - in futher I wont be suggesting anything else no mater what the price. (in this case I couldn't ignore the co-incidence of this coming up just after we were "talking" about it.)

Cheerie oh,
Martin

And for those playing at home , the updated Eee's with the new 10"
screen are $687 at JB

Copied straignt from the ad
EeePC 10" Netbook
Intel Atom
1GB RAM
80GB HDD
802.11b/g/n
1.3M webcam
4.5 hr battery life
XP home ( maybe you can get a refund from M$ )

So 1" more screen, double the RAM and 72GB more disk, but it's a spinner, not solid state.
The Aspire probably gets massive battery life from the SSD.
