Thread: Which power Laptop to go for? And can I still buy a 9-inch netbook?

I am very keen to buy a 8.9-inch mini Laptop. The choice is H between Acer 150X and HP Mini 2133. CouLd you pLease suggest which one to buy and the relevant specifications? Some shops here in Panjim state that Acer has stoped shipping the 8.9-inch netbook. Is that true and what do you think wouLd be the best course of action?

The vendors in Panjim are right, Acer has stopped selling the 8.9inch netbooks in India. The HP Mini 2133 9-inch's availability is increasingly difficult to find in the market, these days, since HP (along with other vendors) are rolling out new netbooks with lO-inch screens and above.

If you are keen on buying only a 9-inch netbook, and if you can get your hands on the HP Mini 2133, go ahead and buy it. But if you want a netbook with a slightly larger screen, then the Acer Aspire One 0250 is the best deal in lO-inch netbooks, right now. It runs on the Intel Atom N280 1.6-GHz processor, has 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive. It's six-cell battery Lasts easily over 5-6 hours. And Last we checked it was retailing for Rs. 18,990.
