Acer's Netbook- Aspire ONE available starting Rs 14499/-

[freshseasons]

Hell now a days a mobile costs more than these netbooks.

^^Depends on the mobile under consideration.

IMO, these netbooks effectively replace 20K and above mobiles. We can get a 5K mobile + this netbook. Maximum VFM.

hey i am buying this for my dad-- looks great--it has now 160 gb capacity--linux models not available---

 

[IronManForever]

^ 160 GB one wont have Windows Xp AFAIK.

 

[manishjha18]

yeah it is --for 17500

The festival offer is over..whats the price at present?is it 17k?

 

[amitabhishek]

I went to eZone yesterday. The price is back at Rs. 17,999 (with XP). At this price I don't think its VFM. Anything less than Rs. 15K is a steal.

Is Acer still offering this at Rs. 14,xxx? Any idea guys?

^^ask for linux version. they charge extra Rs. 3000 for cr@p 7 years old OS.

I also agree

 

[Coool]

whats the difference between linux version and windows xp version.....???
only OS or any thing else..??

 

[Ramakrishnan]

In the linux version linux presinstalled. That also there will be no GUI. Windows XP OS pre-loaded(home version). For this, additional money.

No GUI ? Which era are you from ?

 

[krates]

IThat also there will be no GUI.

ROFL

i was thinking about n97 now i think zn5 and this lappy will be a better option

 

[IronManForever]

@krates .. jump for it! offer may not be valid for long..

BTW the Linux version has a minimalist GUI with big icons (kiddy type) which can be unlocked to get the full power of KDE, etc.

Leipus Linux on Acer sometimes comes without X. I think that's what he means...

 

[manishjha18]

hey leipus looks cool--it has a good GUI--but then i feel its bit oversimplified..
i have seen in a demo--

 

[Ramakrishnan]

When I bought the Acer 4730z, the linux had no GUI. I mean the laptop had DOS like appearance. Do they provide UNix also with linux? I am not familiar with linux terminal anyway. I have seen UBunutu, Fedora, etc. butwith windows like appearance. Even the shopkeeper also remarked about it and asked me whether I wanted XP for an additional sum. I declined and installed xp myself. But that involved some steps which is outside the scope of this thread.

@sams9

offtopic. which linux version(i mean ubunutu, xubuntu, fedora and like) will run perfectly on 4730z apart from the one which came with 4730z?
