Now preferred to be known as the Shack, Radio shack is offering the Acer Aspire One, A0751h-1279, for $100 less on Black Friday. This netbook will sell for $249 instead of $349. This model has some noteworthy upgrades over other notebooks.
Introduced back in May of this year, the Aspire One A0751h-1279 comes close to meeting the expectations of a typical laptop. The screen on the A0751h-1279 is 11.1 inches vs. 10 inches for most netbooks. Pre-loaded with Windows Vista, users will find 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive.
David Coursey of PCMag reviewed the Aspire One and had this to say on the form factor:
“The larger keyboard works for my large hands while the bigger screen may be easier on my post-age-40 eyes. The weight and battery life are important too, as I can carry this machine in my briefcase without a heavy power supply, in many cases, and not notice the added load. Again, what’s not to like?”
Coursey goes on to lament netbook makers place as they up-end the laptop market by providing machines for what people do most: web surf, easy word processing, one task at a time use. Users who stick to these tasks might fall in love with the Aspire One. For users demanding more power, look elsewhere.
