Daily gear deal – Acer Aspire One with Windows XP and 120GB drive for $240

by Scott Carmichael on

Competition between Netbook makers is fierce – for the past 6 months, prices have been dropping at a very steady pace and have finally brought these machines to the price point where you really should consider picking one up if you are looking for a smaller and lighter laptop.

Today’s deal is for the popular Acer Aspire One. This 1.6GHz machine has 1GB of memory and a 120GB hard drive, which means it stands out amongst all the other sub-$250 Netbook deals. Most other machines in this price range have limited memory and a cramped SSD drive of just 8GB or less. The machine also comes with Windows XP.

To complete the package, the Aspire One also comes with an integrated webcam, WiFi and a multi-card reader.

The only downside to this particular Aspire One is the screen size – at 8.9 inches it may be a tad small for you. Other than that, it has the power to do most on-the-road tasks, and its 120GB drive means you can bring some music or video content with you for a little in-flight entertainment.

The Aspire One is available in black and white for $240, or for $20 more you can get the white version with a 160GB drive. Shipping is free.

Daily gear deal – Nokia N810 portable Internet terminal for $223.

by Scott Carmichael on

Today’s daily deal is a bit of an oddball. The Nokia N810 portable Internet terminal is larger than a PDA, but much smaller than a Netbook. The device features a 4.1″ touchscreen, sliding keyboard, built in camera, GPS and WiFi/Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

The Nokia N810 comes preloaded with their own special operating system, so don’t expect this little machine to run all your WIndows or Mac apps.

That said – there are 100’s of open source applications for the N810, and it comes with email, web, Skype and multimedia programs already installed for you. The unit also comes complete with a turn-by-turn navigation package, which means it can double as a GPS unit.

Once setup, this fantastic looking device will let you check your email, surf the web (using the Mozilla browser), make phone calls and entertain yourself with some music or video.

Included in the package is of course the N810 itself, as well as a stereo headset, battery+charger, a car mounting kit and a USB cable.

To get the low price, check out the Amazon product page, then view the “More Buying Choices” in the right column. One of the sellers currently has the Nokia N810 on sale for $219 + $4 shipping – that is your cheapest choice.
