This one was spotted at Silicon Valley store in Trinoma

And so I’ve been checking out computer shops in the city for the Acer Aspire One. Guess what? They’re not as scarce as HP Mini Notes. So far, at TriNoMa Silicon Valley and Premium Logic carry blue and white Aspire One units. Perhaps there are more out there in other places.

These are priced at PhP 18,800 cash (probably more if you’re paying by card). That’s approximately $418 at current exchange rates.

Reportedly, the crawling WinXP running speed is caused by the lack of updated drivers needed for the new Atom chips. This might be resolved by installing an update from Intel.

I tried out one display unit (not a demo unit, though). LinPus seems to startup very fast—about 20 seconds from cold boot to the usable four-pane Linpus interface. The AspireOne is a bit larger than the Eee 900, though—it’s in between the Eee 900 and the HP Mini Note and the MSI Wind U100 in terms of size.
