The Acer Aspire One laptop packing Windows XP dropped from $399 to $349. The linux version will drop from $379 to $329. And the professional version will become $400 with a 6 cell battery and a 160 GB hard drive.  The Aspire One is only 2.17 pounds, has a Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB of ram, and a 120 GB hard drive. Aspire One>Eee PC, but that’s just me. It all depends on the type of operating system and hardware requirements one prefers.

Quad Core in laptops, already? Intel’s quad core for the mini market will be dubbed the Core 2 Extreme. Using 45 watts, it is currently unclear whether the architecture of the processor will be based on Penryn or the Nahalem. I wonder how they’re going to cool this thing. It might burn a whole through your laptop.
