This is a very interesting computer. I will be travelling to Manila and Davao later this year and am looking for a good priced laptop for my daugther for her school in Davao. Can you advise on the best – and of course cheapest – places in Manila and Davao would be to look at these and other similarly priced computers.
Many thanks
I’d like also to get one for my son. I’ll be in manila by early next month. Will that be available then? and which shop or distributor can I get. Is there also an online reservation? or contacts.
Appreciate positive response.
Thanks.
where can i buy in pangasinan?
thanks
You can avail of this laptop at Gilmore, at PCCorner to be exact.
I’ve read somewhere in the internet that installing winxp will be a chore as this does not have a driver cd for winxp.
@mike.. try in QSL Dagupan.
tnx leviticus! is it the same price when i buy there? 18,800? are their other computer shops where i can buy this product in dagupan?
tnx
hello there this model design for unique and in good quality portable reliable and trusted brand..i just brougth two units for my two college duaghter they enjoy it napaganda ng performance..im from manila try nyo mga bro…
yuga, how does this one differ from the other acer aspire laptops? have been using one kasi. thanks.
The regular Acer Aspire uses Centrino CPU while the Aspire One uses Intel Atom at 1.6GHz only but much lower battery consumption. The Aspire One also has a 8.9″ screen compared to the regular 12, 14 and 15 inches.
ahh. salamat yuga.
The acer aspire one is a very good setup for price. very clear screen, wi-fi built-in. Would recommend this versus the similarly priced eepc. please note however that a high-end eepc with very good specs is also available, with a higher pricetag, but seemingly worth the adjustment. i think it would boil down to how you’d end up using the pc. if it’s just for typing and you want portability, go fot the cheapest with the biggest display versus size. if you need power, go for the asus aspire one atom or the higher-end eepc if budget permits. The asus apire one has a small drive that is effectively only 6.4gig the way linux uses its drives. so for this you will need an external usb drive. those are cheap, however, and you can get large capacity ones that work very well with the acer one. if you want an all-in one with a larger drive, the eepc high-end 901a is pretty good, but drives only go up to 40gig. usual is 12 to 20 gig. the smaller drives are bundled with windows, which is easier to adapt for folks unfamiliar with the linux software.
Do not buy one from hong kong. I got mine from there and ended up being cheated by eleven thousand pesos. only because i was looking to buy something else, and was maneouvered into buying the atom one instead. it’s a nice pc, but i do not appreciate being butt-fkd abroad over language differences. Regret i can’t speak cantoneese. Rather than brand all HK tradesmen as dishonest, i’m trying to think that i was easy prey at the time. And, for some people, that is always a good reason to manipulate and destroy someone elese. Strange world that allows us to screw our neighbors. Lesson: know exactly what you want to buy and for how much, and refuse to buy something else you don’t know the specs and pricing for yet.
I just wanna ask,if you will compare ASUS EEE PC to ACER ASPIRE ONE which is better?
see if only the philippine releases of this machine came out with the 80gb version it would be perfect except atm, I’ve checked a whole bunch of stores in manila that sell it only to have the 8GB solid state I even called the main office of acer philippines and they only claim that they only released (in the philippines) the SSD 8Gb version, theres no choice to buy the 80Gb Hard drive, (There should be a choice if you want the 8gb or the 80gb) if anyone has any idea or know whereabouts where to buy one with 80gb post it plz!
so wala pa nung 80gb na wondows ang OS? kelan kaya lalabas…
ang dami na kasi naka asus…gusto ko iba naman…pero gusto ko paren windows os kahit madali gamitin ang linux…
Asus EEEPc vs Acer Aspire One
I’ll say its the battle of the “A”ces.
While Asus concentrates on being the price leader, Acer has to think differently by being a product leader. Who do you think will win out?
I think This one will be better than asus

So, where in the Phils. can I buy this Acer?
we got one, but in SG… it will just cost u arnd 25k in pesos… 120gb hardisk with 1gb mb memory…
Hey Teki your name is not appropriate… Just to let you know Linux is not intuitive as you think. I’m gonna get this netbook though I’m booting up Ubuntu Hardy Heron not Linpus nor Windows XP. They are relatively slow in Atom processor.
120g hd
1 g ram
1,890 riyals (x12.4 pesos) ngaun d2 sa qatar yan.
80 gig hdd? no thanks. if i want a big heavy spinning thing, I’ll get a desktop. wait, I have one. Anything but an SSD makes a huge demand on battery life. You will be chewing through a 6 cell in 3 hours with spinning stuff in your computer (hence the eee1000h w/ 120gig hd makes no sense at all)
Get the vanilla aspire one. All the retailers in the Phils aer selling w/ upgraded ram, +4 gig sd card. 12 gigs is enough to carry. Keep your desktop/portably drive to unload. simple.

i went to Octagon in Ali Mall and saw this Aspire One at P26,900 with the ff specs:
Intel Atom N27o
8.9 WSGA LCD
1GB DDR2
160GB HDD
Multi Card reader
10/100 base Y. Wifi ready
802.11 b/g
webcam, sleeve
available in Pink & White only
Windows XP Home
I’m not a techie person but, IS THIS A GOOD BUY? or should I still go to Gilmore?
what is the difference between hdd or ssd?linux or windows xp? im planning to buy one. but im still into reading reviews about it.
hdd is the conventional hard disk that we have. SSD is more expensive and has less capacity but it has no movable parts so it’s not prone to errors.
if you don’t know the diff. between xp and linux, stick with XP or you’ll have a hard time using your computer.
but i won’t recommend the Acer Aspire One. i’d rather get the lenovo ideapad S10 or asus 1000 or msi wind.
Is it possible that an Acer One with 8G SSD that causes 19K can be installerd with 120 GB HHD?
