Laptop Deal – $99 Acer Asprie One at Radio Shack

Posted on December 15, 2008 by andrew

I mentioned last week that Radio Shack will be offering a $99 Acer Aspire One netbook, and I have some more info for you this morning.

As it turns out, AT&T is sponsoring the deal, which comes with a 2-year contract with the wireless company for a 3G subscription that costs $60 a month. So, you save a couple hundred buck for the Acer, but you get stuck in a contract situation with AT&T.

So, is it really a deal? Not in my opinion. The reduced price is nice, but don;t get fooled into a contract to save a hundred bucks or so.

Acer Aspire 6930G Review and Specs

Posted on November 26, 2008 by andrew

The $1000 Acer Aspire 6930G is a great candidate for a home media machine. Offering an attractive design for an Acer laptop and combining some pretty stellar specs for the price point.

The 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor will keep you app switching and the 16″ display and the Nvidia GeForce 9600M will allow for some minor gaming and great movie watching. Even without the Blu-Ray drive, this litlte laptop is powerful enough to get you through for a few more years.

A little heavy at 7.2 pounds, the 6930G is a true laptop, so you can expect the full package here.

eMachines eMD620-5777 Review and Specs

Posted on November 26, 2008 by andrew

eMachines have always been the low-cost alternative. But now with netbooks flooding the market, eMachines needs to step up its game. So, the company is releasing a full sized laptop for less than $400. Is the eMD620 woth it? Let’s see.

As a Best Buy exclusive, this notebook is subpar. An Athlon 2650e with 1.6 GHz won’t get you very far in the office of on the net and the low 1 GB of RAM will surely lead to slowdown within a year.

Plus, the little thing us pretty ugly, sports low battery life and only has two USB ports.

Acer Aspire 8930G Review and Specs

Posted on November 13, 2008 by andrew

Sorry about the picture, but it seems for all the rage being created about the Acer Aspire 8930G, there are very few quality pictures of the high-end gaming machine out there.

But, there is a lot of information and buzz about the specs, and a lot of people are talking about the 8930G’s gaming setup.

Not only does the 8930 feature a super fast 7,200 rpm hard drive, the GForce 9700 GT graphics setup, 5.1 sound support and 18.4″ HD display make this case a bundle of gaming goodi

Acer Aspire One Review and Specs

Posted on November 11, 2008 by andrew

Miniature laptops have a future. As schools move toward more computer work and WiFi clouds expand, the need for tiny notebooks at affordable prices will only grow. I guess that’s where netbooks like Acer’s Asprie One come in. Weighing in at 2.1 pounds and sporting a small 8.9 inch frame, the Aspire One is a great ultra portable at a ultra-affordable $350. (Or less, depending.)

With a set of solid specs, the Aspire One offers internet usability and basic computing on its Linux opera

Review of the Best Netbooks at Amazon

Posted on October 9, 2008 by Laptop Pimp

You might be wondering which Netbooks are the best to get these days, well let me explain what a “netbook” is in the first place. Netbooks are laptops with smaller screen size of around 8.9″ or 10.1″. Basically, you get a 1024×600 or 1200×800 resolution screen.

Should you get a netbook?

Well, netbooks are great for people who need something between a Blackberry and a laptop. You can get a lot of things done on a netbook, but don’t expect super-fast blazing speeds or work on your latest Photoshop graphic project.
