***

Acer Aspire one AOD 150 first was appeared at J&R for preorder with the price tag of $350. Right Now Amazon is also offering this netbook for preorder with the same price tag of $350.

Meanwhile netbooknews.de had its hands on this netbook. First it published plenty nice unboxing pictures of this netbook and then it made a video review of this netbook that you can see after the break.

The reviewer is not very satisfied with the keyboard and the material of palm rest. According to him, the palm rest feels like plastic with some flex and the keyboard is not yet pretty standard for a 10-inch netbook. Also, he thinks that the glossy screen is not usable for outdoors. He believes that Samsung NC10 comes with better keyboard. In the end he had more expectation from Acer with its standout Aspire one to offer better-designed netbook for 2009.

In a brief glance at Pre-ordering Asus Eee 1000HE with the price tag of $374 and Acer Aspire One AOD 150 with the price tag of $350, it is clear that Eee 1000HE is a better option for purchase; however, there are many people who prefer the blue AOD150 to the black 1000HE and for this reason they prefer more to choose AOD150 a gorgeous gift for her or even him for valentine’s day.

But I recommend Eee 1000HE because with only paying for extra $24 for Asus Eee 1000HE the consumer will be able to utilize much more facilities like faster Atom N280 CPU at 1.66GHz with faster FSB (667MHz), up to 9.5 Hours very long battery life that AOD150 can never deliver it with its 6-cell battery, and Wireless-n and Bluetooth.
