Where to buy Acer Aspire One world wide

I have just ordered a linux 512MB linux Harddisk version off https://www.writerstech.co.uk.

They say i will have it delivered on saturday. Hope so......

 

Japan

The first Japanese Aspire One is XP, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, 3cell battery, blue or white, and is selling for 54,800 yen, tax inc. on preorder with delivery scheduled for August 20th. At the big electronics stores you get 10% in store credit back, so its closer to 49,500 yen... or about $460 I guess.

The Acer Japan website has a nice Aspire One section

http://www.acer.co.jp/one/

with a list of about a dozen retail stores where you can get it here

http://www.acer.co.jp/buyacer/?linkid=order1

of which Bic Camera, where I'm getting mine, is here

http://www.biccamera.com/bicbic/jsp/w/c ... one&SORT=2

you can also search kakaku.com for the cheapest price, but note that most of those outlets don't give you 10% store credit.

P.S. The Japanese site notes that the special pearlescent coating on the aa1 is from the Japanese Nissha company

To complement what B3N3V3NT3 as said, the Aspire One is being sold in Portugal on the following stores (that I have knowledge):

Fnac - Blue and White (White will be available starting this Friday);

Chip7 - White

Worten - Blue and White

Staples - Blue (and white?) - Could not find them online, but saw the blue (last one, for a second, uder a guy's arm on the cash register).

The only model available is the 8g/512mb/Linpus. Other colors and models will arrive soon (early August, as I've been told).

 

In Spain:
Saturn http://www.saturn.es
MediaMarkt http://www.mediamarkt.es
Carrefour http://www.carrefour.es

The price is 299€ blue or white.

I bught mine at MediaMarkt 3 days ago blue with Linux

 

I'm told they were briefly in stock in PC World but have now been withdrawn. Any news on this? Not that I'm sure I would buy it from there, but I'd be interested to know why the stock was withdrawn. Rings alarm bells.

 

that's in the UK, by the way.

still think Play.com is the best option.

FREE DELIVERY!

 

It's all about buy.com in the US:

Although you have to wait until Aug 15 or so, it's a great deal:
5% off coupon gets you a 1gig RAM, 120gb, win xp version for $385. free shipping.

I don't know how they have that price point, given that abroad currency conversions bring it to $450 or more. www.cdw.com also has it for $399.

I've been searching a lot and I found probably the best sites for buying the Acer Aspire One.

Hope you find this info useful.

Re: Where to Buy (UK)

Hi,

I've been looking at this over the past week or so, and this is what I have come up with for UK buyers:



I have not included Expansys because they are the most expensive by far (as always... ) and have roughly the same shipping date as everywhere else (they are expecting to start shipping 15th August)

I am planning to get the 512mb, 120GB HDD blue version. Seeing what everyone's been saying about the write speed of the SSD, i think the HDD is going to be a better option. Already got a 1GB stick to put in, just need the laptop now...

Oh, and anyone who wants to extend the battery life, might be worth looking at this:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Mod ... p&doy=25m7
well worth the £40, and I am deffinetly ordering one!

 

so if you want 1.5gigs of ram...

is it cheaper to buy the 512Mb version and upgrade?
or the 1gig version and potentially swap the extra 512Mb module with a 1gb one.

 

i thought the HDD was 120GB????

 

Its cheaper to buy the 512mb version, and then get a 1GB stick of ram, which would cost you about £15 tops. Think its about £14 from crucial.com

Hope that helps!

JUST IN: Got an email back from Dabs and CCLOnline - Dabs are expecting a delivery on 06/08/08, and CCLOnline are expecting one on 19/08/2008. Hope that helps someone!!!

 

J and r computer world its located in newyork thats where im from its in manhattan well on there website they list the linux and xp models in both colors white and blue for preorder

 

You're gonna want to get the 512MB version and upgrade, because if you get the 1GB version, 512MB is soldered, and the other 512MB is in the soDIMM slot. So if you go to upgrade that, you're just gonna have to take the 512MB stick out of the soDIMM slot and replace it with a 1GB stick. Unless you don't want to take your One apart, or if 1GB is enough for you, then get the 512MB version.

 

yeh i think im gonna get the 512MB version and upgrade.

anybody know of any decent tutorials (with pictures!) for upgrading the ram?

 

There is a very good here posted in the forum on how to upgrade the ram:

hope that helps!

 

The site has made a lot of mistakes, such as, X3100 graphics. It will mess up with your orders!
