A lot of people seem to be preoccupied these days by segment low-cost notebooks for 300-400 dollars. Asus notebook trend revived by the Eee PC laptop, which has sold large numbers worldwide – over 350,000 copies in just a few months of release. This is a miniport with a 7 inches screen with the resolution of 800×480 widescreen, Celeron M processor at 630 Mhz, 512 MB of DDR2 memory and hard disk SSD (Solid State Disk) 4GB storage, with versions of 2 GB and 8 GB running Xandrox Linux as an operating system.

Worth mentioning that the storage space at any Eee PC can be expanded via an SD card or SDHC, the SDHC reaching now up to 32 GB capacities. Its success motivated people from Asus at CES 2008 to talk about a second generation of mini laptops with WiMax, with a larger screen  8.9 inches and able to run the Windows XP.

The company Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) launched the much awaited Puma laptop platform, while Intel’s rivals sought to gain ground against the largest maker of chips in the world. The platform is compatible with the family of AMD Turion Ultra X2 Dual-Core processors and series ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics cards. It also supports the new AMD Puma solutions AMD Business Class, AMD GAME! and AMD LIVE!. As part of the new platform, AMD has released a new notebook processor and a new chipset, which offers the best performance HD video via ATI Avivo HD technology.

AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core benefit of Independent Dynamic Core Technology AMD technology, a new optimized memory controller and HyperTransport 3.0 technology. The new series of chipsets AMD 7-series, AMD M780G and AMD SB700, has modules incorporated ATI Radeon HD 3200 integrated graphics and provides support for Microsoft DirectX 10.

India wants to become a specialist in ultra low – cost. Now is preparing to pull $ 2,000 car but, again, it promises also a laptop for $ 20. Analysts are skeptical and do not think the project is viable, but those who came up with the idea think that in six months will start mass production. Laptop “Sakshi”, part of the entry level laptops, should help young people in 18,000 schools and 400 universities to have access to the Internet in a country where 550 million people are under 25 years. Laptop will be presented at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh province and the project is conducted by several major technology institutes in India.

The laptops were a lot cheaper in recent years and most famous project for developing countries is the OLPC (One Laptop per Child) that aimed to sell millions of laptops at $ 100 apiece. The success of the program was well below expectations, while laptops have reached $ 200 a piece. HP 2133 Mini-Note, one of the entry level laptops, is a notebook that the American manufacturer Hewlett Packard says it is designed for the educational market, but by features and price comes as a competitor for Asus EeePC, Everex Cloudbook or Asus G10IL, low-cost laptops that have become very popular in the last years for the users.

Since its foundation in 1976, Acer has constantly followed the objective of abolishing barriers between people and technology. Focused on marketing through its IT brand-name around the world, Acer occupies 3rd place in the world for total PCs sold and number 2 for notebooks, the fastest growth among the top five players.

A profitable and sustainable business model Channel type is essential for the further development of company Acer, while the successful merger of Gateway and Packard Bell complete the overview of the company’s stronger presence in the U.S. and strengthening and strong position in Europe. Acer Inc. has more than 6,000 employees worldwide. Acer laptop computers meet all the desires of the users worldwide.

Acer, the second computer manufacturer in the world, intends to increase their sources of income by opening an online store of applications and launching an e-reader until mid-year. The online store will include “hundreds of applications,” said Jim Wong, president of IT products division of the company. Acer official added that the Taiwanese giant will launch in the third quarter its own netbook, a very expensive notebook, which will work in Google Chrome operating system.

Along with providing online software and launch an e-reader, Acer will enter on the market that is dominated by Apple, the maker of mobile iPhone , or the world’s largest online retailer, Amazon.com. Through the new products, the company will increase its net profit by almost 3% over the next two years, said Wong. The online store will be open to applications from mid-year, with software that will run on the Android platform, developed by Google, currently used for Netbooks and smartphone that are made by Acer, but also on Windows and Google Chrome. Applications will be with very low prices or free. By the end of June, Acer will present his first eBook reader, which will have a multitouch screen by 6 inches (15 , 2 cm). The gadget will come in direct competition with the Kindle, from Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble Inc.’s Nook.

Acer has collaborated with BMW to design Gemstone, but notebooks have not enjoyed much success. The new design of Acer Gemstone Blue unveils the vision of “multimedia” being innovative both in appearance and especially the functionality. Gemstone was a new thing in its lines that go through the multimedia keys, touchpad and the surrounding area and create a special effect. Gemstone Blue is something else. The laptops have been redesigned, re-sized and built based on components of last generation. What impresses at the Gemstone Blue – new hinge of the display, Cinematic Surround audio system and a surface with touch-sensitive keys.

The new notebook Acer Aspire AS5740G prove to be true media stars, combining perfectly the high technology industry to provide mobile computing capacity, extraordinary, an audio-video experience that takes your breath away and provide at the same time constant connectivity. In the new series of notebook Acer Aspire, the performance of next generation and the audio-visual entertainment meet an exclusive design, materialized from innovative textures of the raw material. Acer laptop computers are not expensive and with high performance.

Acer was founded in 1976 under the name Multitech, focusing on business and on product design. In 1981 he launched Micro-Professor calculation tools. The approximate size of a large dictionary and a price below $100, made Micro-Professor immediately became a success. The company then continued its work and developed the first IBM-compatible computer.

In 1987, Multitech officially received the name of Acer, marking the company’s first efforts to create an Acer brand name strong. In this second decade of development, Acer has developed significant and extended both strategically and geographically. The company climbed to number eight in the top PC brands in the world. In 1991, Acer has launched ChipUp first processor upgrade solution. Launch AcerPac (Personal Activity Center – Personal Center activities) added PC multimedia component. AcerPac integrate phone, fax, data modem, alarm clock, receiver AM / FM stereo audio system with eight-channel mixer, a CD-ROM and a lot of applications preinstalled. In September 1995, with the Acer Aspire, a company that had hitherto anonymous manufacturer of PCs has become a pioneer in the modern industry. With its revolutionary design, Aspire became an immediate success and nearly doubled sales of Acer America in the fourth quarter of 1995.

In 1996, Acer introduced Nuovo Notebook PC, with an innovative management expense, Heuristic Power Management (management heuristic consumption – HPM), which had the ability to learn specific user behavior, then distributed energy properly. Acer called its new technology “energy demand”. In 1997, the company acquired the notebook division at Texas Instruments. During the period in which they celebrated the anniversary of 20 years, the company launched the third stage of development, which included key goals related to technological and simplify operations. In late 2000, Acer announced its decision to delegate manufacturing operations to a separate entity.

In 2001, Acer has adopted a new corporate identity as a symbol of its determination to enhance the quality of people’s lives through technology. The next year was released Acer Aspire, bringing the overall scene PCs new standards in the PCs used in homes. The platform was launched in 2003-art Empowering Technology, which integrate hardware components, software and services to provide usable and reliable technologies, without intermediaries. In 2006, Acer has celebrated the anniversary of 30 years, becoming the third brand of notebooks and desktops, fourth in the world. In 2007, Acer has completed the acquisition of Gateway and Packard Bell, supplementing its global footprint.

Following recent acquisitions, Acer has implemented a multiple brand strategy which exploits the good image of reputation that have been created over the time by the group companies (Acer, Packard Bell, Gateway and eMachines) within their own customer base, thus keeping individual identity and personality of each brand.



Acer TravelMate Timeline are very attractive business models. The design changing suffered by the Acer laptop has apparently been a good news and the second largest producer of PCs is now aiming to the strong business segment with three very attractive models. For the connoisseur’s eye, Acer seems to be inspired by the design of Dell laptops. TravelMate Timeline models Aspire 8571, 8471 and 8371 have diagonals of 15.6 “, 14.1″, respectively 13.3 “and are characterized by the relatively thin profile. He justifies this by the CULV Intel Core 2 Duo processor SU9400 and SU7300. All three gates can be fitted up to 4 GB DDR3, and the integrated video card is a GMA 450MHD. Only Timeline Acer 8371 comes with optical drive, but all three can be ordered with USB floppy disk drive. The laptops are weighing 1.65 kilograms, 2 kg and 2.3 kilograms, and they are going to be delivered with six-cell battery, whose autonomy is of 8 hours. The price is also attractive. In the U.S., these three models will cost between $ 900 and $ 1000.



Acer Aspire One AO532h is also part of acer laptop computers. The news through which Intel announces the Pine Trail platform is still warm and Acer already rushes to launch Acer Aspire One AO532h that has this platform. Acer wanted not a fast but an economically Aspire One that could provide a longer battery life so it’s equipped the netbook with Intel Atom processor N450. The new ONE is not more performer than its predecessors. The processor, as you now, is running at the same 1.6 GHz and is accompanied also by 1 GB of RAM. Everything is stored on a 160 GB HDD.

At the connectivity charter it has three USB ports, 10/100 LAN interface, with draft N Wi-Fi and a VGA output. This “toy” is equipped with a multitouch trackpad and a webcam. The good part of using the new processor, Atom N450, is just the energy savings and that greater autonomy of the battery. Acer promises a lifetime of up to 8 hours with standard battery with 6 cell 4400 mAh and 10 hours with the 5600 mAh, with the same number of cells. It weighs about 1 kg and 300 grams with a standard battery.

Acer Ferrari One 200 is another laptop from acer laptop computers. AMD is the second IT company approved by Ferrari and that is why the configuration of Ferrari One 200 has no essential part of Intel. Ultra-11.6 laptop is equipped with an Athlon X2 Neo L310 running at 1.2 GHz and has 1MB of Level 2 cache memory. AMD M780G chipset can be considered over competing solutions from Intel netbook area sites, with its integrated Mobility Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. At least the 4 GB of DDR3 memory are in keeping with the performance suggested by the Ferrari logo, being offered a storage capacity of 250 GB HDD. The laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium that should be doing pretty well. The Acer Ferrari One equipment that differ from other netbooks is ATI XGP port used to connect an external graphics cards. Given the above configuration, this option is not really justified. 6 cell battery with 5600 mAh gives autonomy up to 5 hours. The system weighs 1.5 kilograms with the battery included and has a keyboard that you can see it at Aspire One 751h also.

Laptops are really popular these days, and they are demanded by more and more  people. But even though they are cheaper than they were a few years ago, a notebook is still more expensive compared to a desktop computer with the same technical details and features. So this means that you will need some money to buy a good laptop. The prices for a normal laptop can begin at around 500 dollars and can go up to 2,000 dollars. We said a “normal” laptop, because there are also other types of notebooks such as the: Tablet PC-s, the toughbooks or the netbooks. But the ones that are interesting us for today are the netbooks.

A netbook is just like a regular laptop, only that it is even smaller and even portable. It is true that it doesn’t have quite as good features as a bigger laptop, but it is also much cheaper. The prices for netbooks can vary between 200-400 dollars. And for today we’ll discuss about one of the best inexpensive laptops, which would be the HP Mini-Notebook 110-1134 CL, model that can be bought for just about 250 dollars. Even though it is not really powerful, it can be quite enough for some simple computer activities such as browsing the internet, writing mails, writing documents and so on. And now here are the complete technical details for this model, so that you can see exactly what it has to offer.

Many years ago it was thought that the notebook computers won’t have success at the wide public, and that they are going to be used just by business men and people with a lot of money. But this turned out to be wrong and today the laptops are really popular, and they are bought by all sorts of people, and not just by the rich ones. In time the laptop technologies got more and more powerful and also the laptops become cheaper and cheaper. But today a laptop is still a little more expensive than a desktop computer with the same technical details. A PC is today available to most of the people, even to the poor ones, but a laptop can’t be easily bought by a poor person. The prices for new notebooks are beginning at around 450 dollars and they can go up to 2,000 dollars or more…it all depends on the size of the laptop, the thickness, but especially on the technical details that it offers.

So in case you really want to have a laptop, but you just don’t have enough money, a good solution for you would be to buy a used laptop. You can choose a used version of an older model of laptop, and that one will be really cheap, or you can choose a more recent model of laptop, but a used one. So this way you will have quite a good and powerful laptop, and you can save some money compared to its price as new.

A site that offers some of the best used laptops is www.geeks.com and here you can find many models of notebooks, from different producers, with all price ranges.

This laptop is refurbished, and comes at a really good price of 389 dollars. It has a display screen of 15.4 inch in diagonal, that is also a widescreen LCD display and which offers quite good colors. The rest of the technical details are not very powerful, so this laptop would not be a good choice for those interested in doing advanced computer tasks. But it can be a really good choice for those looking for a cheap laptop which is just good for simple, day to day activities, such as – browsing the internet, writing documents, mails, watching movies and so on.
