I am willing to bet that a Notebook price can be cheaper if they customer has the choice to choose and OS. Preferably Linux.

Its a strategy to lure costumers in. Volvo dealer did the same beginning of Ramadhan for their C90 4wheel. Offered then at KD 8800 (was close to KD 12,000). The dealer told me its SOLD out the first day (Only 8 cars in stock) but people were still dropping by to check out the deal.

Acer sucks. Always had, always will. Never in my life I’ve seen such fragile cheap crap.

I wouldn’t take one even if given for free!

If you go with cheap stuff, it will screw you when you least expect and in most need.

@ orgthingy:

I couldn’t disagree more with you. You could buy an original copy of windows XP professional for 60-70 KD (You could find it cheaper if you look in several places). That sums it up to less than 129 KD (much less than 300 KD). You could also make it cheaper by buying Windows XP Home edition.

Another solution is to buy a copy from Hawalli for 1 KD which sums it up to 60 KD or you could just download the Windows OS from the internet for free (much much less than 300 KD).

OF COURSE it’s cheap, if it had windows, it’d be like 300KD.. but it has LINUX and LINUX IS FREE

For that price you might as well buy it from Carrefour for KD135

dj: u can installed osx on the aspire one but wifi wont work unless u change card and supoosedly the aspire is very difficult to take apart and upgrade.

the eee 900 u can install osx but it wont be usable. the 901 and Wind work best with osx but in both u need to change wifi card.

khalid: 8.9″ screen and battery varies depending on size of battery. mostly 2.5 hours to 5 or 6.
