Acer's Aspire One netbook line just keeps growing, and now it's getting more colorful. Too often, notebooks are released in the same black plastic color, and occasionally, you'll find a red one, a blue one or a green one. But a pastel one? Not too often that you see that. The new Aspire One Happy range is for those who would prefer softer tones on their netbook, and while it's not marketed towards kids, it probably could be. The machine is available in the UK in Candy Pink, Lavender Purple, Lime Green and Hawaii Blue, and it has a 10.1" WSVGA display, Windows 7, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and 8-hours of battery life. It measures just 24mm thick and weighs only 1.25kg, and...

We've learned that the 10-inch Aspire One will eventually arrive with Windows XP, a 160GB hard drive, a 1,024 x 600 resolution display, 1GB of RAM, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor and a three cell battery. According to ZDNet's UK branch, an Acer spokesperson has chimed in to add that a Linux version will also be made available. To quote him specifically, the 10-inch Aspire One "will...

Netbooks have taken the world by storm since their introduction in late 2007. This sub-notebook market has grown from the Asus Eee PC to multiple vendors and many models vying for superiority. Beginning with the Eee PC, many netbooks were characterized by their Linux Operating System, but Microsoft, quick to notice their growing popularity, resurrected Window XP and entered the battlefield. Even coming into the game late, Microsoft's decision seems to be paying off, according to the major netbook PC vendors.In Q3 2008 Acer released an 8.9" netbook, the Aspire One, and has since leaped past Asus as the world's leading netbook vendor. Selling 2.15 million of a market total of 5.6...
