Acer 150 Netbook...

[batman4ever]

guys...looking at the Acer 150 here in Denmark..
it has a 1,6gh processor
1gb ram and160gb harddisk
8,9" screen
xp included

the price is just 15k ( in baht)

is that an okay price....or should i wait untill i arrive in bkk ??

I have one. Exactly the same specs, too!

They are the same price over here. (Get the one with the 6 cell battery.)

The 'Netbook' computers are great for 'on the move' computing but are sluggish compared to a full sized laptop or desk top computer.

Maybe the specs are different but these 150's seem to be a bit cheaper than 15K baht.

My experience of buying in the USA is do it if you live there!

The warranty and after sales are worthless if you buy it in the USA, get it shipped to Europe then bring it to Asia!

The prices are always cheaper in the US for anything computer related. I bought mine with the 6 cell battery at my local shop here in Seacon Square for 15,300 baht. I think they are cheaper now.

Hey, Batman... let me know if you want to check mine out before you buy...

Bought one for Mary in UK about 10k baht.
Going to get one Me'self for next trip, does wot I need & mary loved it to death, couldnt get her off the darn thing or was that Me cock

[Stogie]

They vary wildly in price depending on the specs.

Remember to get the best battery available, one some of the cheapest models you can barely watch a movie before the battery runs out.

[Stogie]

Amen to that. The 6 cell lasts for between 6 and 7 hours and so far has been great.

[seamus]

yep thats why Marys was so cheap, bat only last 1 1/2 hours

[Stogie]

Well, you can buy a 6 cell battery to replace the older one... but they are pricey!

I have this computer for 4 months now, 3-cell battery is light but lasts 2 hours max, a lot less with WLAN. You can also buy 9-cell battery (I did) it lasts  6-7 hours but is "a little" bulky. With both batteries and with WLAN off I could watch movies from Munich to BKK almost whole trip.

The only bit that sounds nasty about that is Munich

it doesn't stick out over the edge like some of the 9-call batteries do on regular-sized laptops?

[Stogie]

No. I know what you mean and it looks just fine.

It juts out a wee bit...
