Whoa, big day in the land of low-cost ultra-portables. First
Dell, now Acer in what appear to be the first shots of
Acer's first sub-$500 ultra-portable. The images above were dumped into the forum over at
UMPC Portaland show what appears to be an "Aspire One" branding to the right of
the touchpad and what could certainly pass as the rumored 8.9-inch
display. And although that UI is very un-Microsoft, there's no denying
the Microsoft flag waving back from the keyboard. We'll know for sure
if this is Acer's contestant in the race to the bottom next week at
Computex.
