Seems to be the best price online for the 901 right now, $479 + delivery charges.
I personally find the netbook battle to be a three way between this, the Aspire One and the MSI Wind. The 901 edges past the Aspire because of the 6 Cell battery.
Either way, sharing, hopefully the first of many.
lol, i can sense the flames may begin soon since dailydeals is the daddy of Catch of the Day.
the wind is 6cell and 10inch and 120gig hd. BUT cost $650 in perth ><
this is a very good deal :)
I have both the MSI wind and 901, I would pay more for the wind any day, the keyboard on the 901 is like typing on a mobile. (tooooo small)
I impulsively got the acer aspire one several months back when it was just released.. I have to say it's a great netbook. With a few tweaks here and there, it's a really neat treat. The keyboard is very practical unlike the EeePC, it looks a lot better as well (just my opinion).. and if you can wait a couple of months, we'll be getting the 6cell battery which is claimed to be able to lasts 6-7 hours!
"we’ll be getting the 6cell battery"
Who is "we" ??? Are you an Acer rep?? Pls explain.
And if you are an Acer rep - let me educate you on your own product:<p>
Aspire One: Wireless ABG
EEE PC 901 / 1000H: Wireless N
Aspire One: No Bluetooth
EEE PC 901 / 1000H: Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
Aspire One: 3 Cell Batt
EEE PC 901 / 1000H: 6 Cell Battery
Aspire One: AU Warranty
EEE PC 901 / 1000H: International Warranty
Aspire One: Office Trial
EEE PC 901 / 1000H: Star Office Full Included<p>
And if you're gonna bag on the keyboard - how about I bag on the mouse which has buttons to the left and right of the pad… real smart…
The only thing people might like about it is the glossy screen - good for movies / colour but bad for daylight use.
WHY Wait for such a long time….you can buy for $509 here http://www.anypc.com.au....and they have stock now! If you are in NSW, you can pick them up and saved shipping!
dailydeals and catchoftheday is the same company.
Please be aware that this company is well known for their bad customer service, long shipping time and clear text credit card details:
Agreed, bad company to deal with!
My 901 summary: 6 hour browsing (9 idling), 1100g, bluetooth, wifi N, multi touchpad (like apple) and mod friendly with easy access to ram, ssd, wifi upgrade. Tons of aftermarket parts available: touchscreen, big batteries, cases etc. SSD and atom = quiet as a calculator and cool as a cucumber … literally.
That said, the 1000h/Wind is better for first entry to netbook/umpc. The 901 is better for those upgrading or advanced umpc mobs.
Wouldn't touch dailydeals with a ten foot pole. Don't care how good their deals are.
This is a good price. however I don't want to wait till 2009 for delivery!
