Buying a new PC? Don't forget to buy Office 2007.


By Cisco Cheng
By late last year, the Acer Aspire One had beat out ASUS's combined offerings to become the top-selling netbook—or so market research firm DisplaySearch concluded. The One's primacy has been confirmed by Amazon.com—which ranked it as its best seller over the Christmas holiday—as well as other sites that monitor laptop sales. The One reached this pinnacle despite a smaller-than-average (8.9-inch) screen and a pair of awkwardly placed mouse buttons, because it was (and still is) the most aggressively priced netbook around. The Acer Aspire One (10-inch) ($350 street) is the long-overdue update, and as its name implies, the screen size has finally caught up with its 10-inch peers. The mouse buttons, furthermore, have been relocated to their correct positions—beneath the touchpad. It's not the best-equipped netbook, now that the ASUS EeePC 1000HE has landed. But that shouldn't affect the One's blistering sales pace, because Acer addresses the most crucial part of a netbook: price.
