Acer's Eee competition to have lower price tag, more beautiful eyes

According to a report on the
lately-talkative Acer, the company's first iteration of
EeePC-competition will be somewhat cheaper than ASUS' current (and future)
sticker prices. In a scant article, speculation abounds that the first
wave of Acer-made 8.9-inch laptops will be priced around $350 to $400,
while ASUS will market its 8.9-inch micro-top for $50 to $100 more.
Word on the street is that Acer will launch its cheapo solution
sometime in May,
but ASUS will preempt the introduction with an April landing for the
2nd generation Eee. Of course, we're looking forward to the glorious
future where laptops are simply free, all men live in harmony, and
multi-colored unicorns once again roam the Earth.
