Deal of the Day – 6/3/09

Tom Greer — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 07:39:42 +0000

Lenovo makes quality notebook computers. Their initial netbook, the Ideapad S10 is a rock-solid, although somewhat unimaginative entry into an already crowded market niche.

Now that Lenovo has announced the S12, it’s not surprising to find the prices on the S10 models dropping.

If you are looking for a good deal on a dependable netbook, then Super Warehouse may have just what you are looking for. They have the Lenovo Ideadpad S10e model in Black marked down to $313.00.

Until recently, these typically sold for $349 or so. I’m sure that Super Warehouse is clearing shelf space to make way for the new S12 model, so don’t expect these to last.

Selecting My New Netbook, Part 1

Tom Greer — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 09:00:30 +0000

In an earlier post, I explained that I needed a new netbook. In this post, I’ll select and list which netbooks that meet my requirements. In later posts, I explore each of these individually.

Here is what is important to me.

Must have a Linux OS. (It’s a personal preference.)
Must have a keyboard that I can touch-type on. That especially means a full-size right shift key.
Must be thin and light (since I carry this and a laptop in the same bag).
Prefer 6+ hours of battery life (so it lasts a whole plan trip), but I might be willing to accept shorter battery life to keep the netbook thin and light.
If I can get better resolution than 1024×600, without adding too much to the size/weight, then I would do so.
I don’t need a hard drive. I don’t store much on the netbook. Just about everything I need is online. A solid-state drive with 8-16 GB is smaller and lighter.
Of course, it has to be a good value.

I’ll review each brand and identify which models make the cut.

As a start, all models pre-loaded with a Microsoft operating system are excluded. (Yes, I know I could buy one of these and load Linux myself. But for years I did this and hated paying Microsoft for that privilege. Now that manufacturers are actually pre-loading Linux, I believe I should reward them with my business.)

Acer:

Aspire One 9-inch 8G 3-Cell Linux
Since this is what I used in the past, I want to try something new. So this is out.
Aspire One 9-inch 160G 3-Cell Linux
This is the same as above, except for a heavier hard drive that I don’t need. So this is out.
I would consider a 10″ Aspire One model, except none of them come with Linux. While Acer has announced a plethora of new models, it has not touted any Linux models for introduction in the near future.
So, in summary, Acer is out of the running.

Asus:

Eee PC 900 16G Linux or Eee PC 900 20G Linux
I decided not to go with the Eee PC last purchase due to the keyboard layout, which has a tiny Right Shift key. So this is out.
Eee PC 901 20G Linux
Different keyboard than the Eee PC 900 series, but same layout issue. This is out also.
Eee PC 1000 40G Linux
I really would like to consider this, since it has a 10″ screen and a bigger keyboard. But the keyboard suffers from the same issue. I had an earlier Asus Eee PC and this keyboard layout drove me nuts. So, this model is out, too.
All of the other Asus models have a Microsoft OS, which means Asus is out of the running as well.

Dell:

Inspiron Mini 9 Linux
Can be ordered with 4, 8, 16, or 32 GB solid state drives. That is appealing. Small, thin and light. OK , this one is in.
Inspiron Mini 10
Only available with XP. Never mind.
Inspiron Mini 12
Available with Linux. 12-inch screen. Comes with hard drive with option to also add an SSD. 6-Cell battery available. A little bigger than I had in mind. Sounds like it might be heavy. But, I will consider this model.

Hewlett-Packard

HP Mini 1000 (Mini Mi)
Could custom order one from HP, or choose one of the Smart Buy pre-configured versions (Mini 1110NR or Mini 1120NR). 9-inch and 10-inch versions are available. Comes with either 3 or 6 cell battery. Definitely in the running.
HP Mini 2140
Great specs, but no Linux option.

Lenovo

No Linux option currently on their website. So, Lenovo is out.

MSI

No Linux models in their lineup.

Samsung

Every model has a Microsoft OS.

Sylvania

G Meso 80G Linux
Has a hard drive. But, other than that, it is worthy of consideration.
[Update: After spending a short time looking at the G Meso more closely, I realized that the keyboard is very small and has a shrunken and misplaced right shift key. For that reason, it should have never made the initial list. ]

So there you have it. The field is rather small, only five (counting the 9 and 10 inch HP Mini’s as two models.)

Last thoughts, many of the latest models come only with a Microsoft OS. I’d really love to consider them, but I hate to pay Microsoft and then wipe out the OS.

After looking at the options, maybe I’ll need to reconsider.

Falling Netbook Prices – 4/4/09

Tom Greer — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:23:18 +0000

When we started tracking prices for netbooks and capturing whenever a new low price point was established, I thought we would be lucky to report one or two per day.

We’ve certainly seen more than that. But today sets a new high-water mark. We have six.

Here we go:

Dell cut the price on the Inspiron Mini 9 8G Linux in Black from $299.00 to $284.00

Buy.com trimmed their price on the Ruby Red version of the Acer Aspire One 10″ 160G 3-Cell XP supplanting the previous low price of $329.00 with a new low price of $313.00.

Buy.com also cut the price for the Sapphire Blue model of the Acer Aspire One 9″ 160G 3-Cell XP lowering the previous low price of $299.00 to $284.00.

Acer Aspire One A150 9" 160G 3-Cell XP
	8.9" TFT Display (1024x600), 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1.0 GB DDR2-533 RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 3 Cell Battery, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
	Comes in: Copper (AOA150-1706 ) - from $299.99 Coral Pink (AOA150-1690 or AOA150-1068) - from $299.99 Onyx Black (AOA150-1435 or AOA150-1555 or AOA150-1742) - from $299.99 Sapphire Blue (AOA150-1405 or AOA150-1283 or AOA150-1635 or AOA150-1691) - from $299.99 Seashell White (AOA150-1905 or AOA150-1187)	More Info

Once again, Buy.com slashed their price of the Lenovo Ideapad S10 80G 3-Cell XP in Gray to set a new low price of $316.99 (which is almost $20.00 below the previous lowest price).

The Seashell White model of the Acer Aspire One 9″ 8G 3-Cell Linux started the day with the lowest price at $273.28. First one of the Amazon.com merchants cut their price to $261.83. Then, another of the Amazon.com merchants cut the price even lower to $244.89.

If you are looking for a pink laptop, then you’ll want to snap up the Rose Pink model of the Acer Aspire One 9″ 120G 3-Cell XP from Buy.com. They have just moved the lowest price from $298.63 to $288.05.

That is it for today. As always, the widgets above are dynamic, meaning as the prices and availability change, the information shown will automatically be updated.

Huge Netbook Price Variations Between Colors

Tom Greer — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:12:27 +0000

It is really interesting to watch the prices vary between the different colors of the same netbook.

Normally, when a new netbook is introduced, all of the colors are priced the same.

However, over time, various online retailers will drop the price on one or two colors. I am guessing that this is due to overstock; but I don’t really know.

If you are not locked into purchasing a specific color, then these variation provide opportunities for big savings.

Based on today’s prices, here are some examples:(Click on the Go! button of any netbook widget to see who has the best prices.)

Even the new 10″ Aspire One 160G 3-Cell XP model already has a price variation. The Diamond Black color is available for $313.00 while the other colors range from $325.99 to $329.00.

Lenovo Ideapad S10e 160G 3-Cell XP. Prices vary from $332.00 for Black to $461.99 for Silver.

Acer Aspire One 9″ 160G 6-Cell XP. Prices vary from $299.00 for Black or Pink to $325.99 for Copper.

How Acer Became The Top Netbook Maker

Tom Greer — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 10:17:32 +0000

Acer Aspire One

Back around the middle of this past year, the netbook marketplace really began to buzz as the launch dates of the second-generation netbooks were nearing. MSI was garnering a major chunk of the mind share, with the Wind Netbook receiving rave reviews. Meanwhile, Asus was busy announcing new Eee PC models at a dizzying pace. Acer was preparing to introduce the Aspire One; however, while the reviews were favorable, it was getting a lot less buzz.

Fast forward to now (year-end) where the Acer Aspire One is king of the netbooks. How did they do it?

The simple answer has two parts:

Acer did a great job designing a product that met customer’s wants and needs.
They made a few “right” moves in marketing the Aspire One.
They didn’t make any mistakes and watched while their competitors floundered.

The Right Design

Aspire One's Display Has Wide Viewing Angle

Acer simply made the right choices when they designed the product. Here are my perceptions of what they did right:

9-inch Display:

MSI got a lot of favorable press for the 10-inch display on the Wind U100 netbook - as did Asus for the Eee PC 1000-series. But the resolution on the 9 and 10-inch screens are the same (1024x600), so the only advantage is bigger. But that also means more expensive. As a result of lower manufacturing cost, Acer has been able to price their product significantly lower than the comparable 10-inch models.
10-Inch Keyboard

The keyboard (and case) of the Aspire One is about the same size as the MSI Wind and the Eee PC 1000-series netbooks. It is larger and much more usable than the Eee PC 900-series (which have similar 9-inch screens). The keyboard provides great tactile feedback. Most importantly (at least to me), the shift keys are full size and in the right place - which makes touch typing on the Aspire One a breeze.
3-Cell Battery (at launch)

Acer introduced the Aspire One with a 3-cell battery. When a global battery shortage severely restricted the availability of the 6-cell batteries that Asus and MSI were using, the 3-cell design allowed Acer to fill the pipeline when their competitors (particularly MSI) struggled.
Both Linux and Windows Versions at Launch

At launch time, Acer offered a choice of either Linux or Microsoft Windows. In addition, they packaged the Linux version with solid-state drive storage and the Windows version with a traditional hard drive. These combinations proved to be what customers wanted. MSI promised a Linux-version of the Wind, but delayed its arrival repeatedly. I don’t believe I have ever seen a Linux-based Wind for sale in the USA.

The Right Marketing Moves

Acer has also made several great marketing moves with the Aspire One. Here are my views:

Product Launched At The Right Time

Acer introduced the Aspire One in mid-July, and was one the first of the second-generation netbooks. Asus and MSI were launching their new Intel Atom-base netbooks around the same time. Dell, Lenovo and HP were very late to offer Atom-based netbooks.
Product Available At Launch

While Acer did not generate a huge buzz in advance of the Aspire One. They delivered product when they said they would. While MSI was missing promised launch dates and then down-grading their product, Acer was busy filling orders. Personally, I was waiting for an MSI Wind to replace my Eee PC 4G Surf. I finally gave up waiting and settled for an Aspire One. I have been delighted ever since.
A Simple Consistent Product Image

Acer offers the Aspire One in a number of different configurations, however, Acer’s marketing has created a single image of the Aspire One. When someone talks about the Aspire One, you know exactly which netbook they are speaking. This proved to be a competitive advantage against the Asus Eee PC.
Agressive Pricing

Acer priced the Aspire One very competitively to start, introducing the Linux version in mid-July at $379 in the USA. Then they got aggressive. At the end of August, only 5-6 weeks after the launch, Acer cut prices on the Aspire One dramatically. For example, the list price on the Linux version was cut from $379 to $329. This caught everyone else flat-footed. It also killed the 7-inch netbook niche. Spending $299 for a 7-inch model no longer made sense.

Flawless Execution While Competitors Floundered

Acer has executed all of the above flawlessly. There have been no serious mistakes to note. That is not true for their competitors.

Asus Misses With 901-Series

Aspire One's Larger Case Compared to Eee PC 901

Asus introduced the Eee PC 901-series as their first Intel Atom-based netbook. Like the Aspire One, the Eee PC 901-series features a 9-inch screen. However, the case is significantly smaller than the Aspire One. As a result, the keyboard is tiny and most adults have difficulty using it. Most buyers passed on the 901-series, opting for netbooks with bigger keyboards.
MSI Can’t Deliver

MSI planned to launch the Wind with a 6-cell battery; but could not procure enough. After delaying the Wind’s introduction, the product was temporarily packaged with a 3-cell battery. This last-minute change created chaos, forcing customers to wait months for a 6-cell version or accept a lesser-product.
MSI Price-Gouges Customers

Being unable to produce enough Wind Netbooks to meet demand, MSI took advantage of their lack of supply by raising the price of the Wind U100. Buy.com had accepted pre-orders at the original price - the price increase forced them to cancel all of these pre-orders. As you would expect, this did not please customers.
Asus Introduces A Million Products Named Eee PC

OK. It just seemed like a million. During the summer of 2008, Asus announced a new Eee PC models at a dizzying pace, confounding even the experts. For example, here is a partial list of Eee PC models: Eee PC 2G Surf, 4G Surf, 4G, 8G, 701SD, 900, 901, 904HA, 1000, 1000H, 1000HA, 1002HA, S101, Eee Top and the Eee PC Box. Customers were (and still are) totally confused by the plethora of different products called Eee PC.
Late to Market with Me-Too Products

Dell, Lenovo, HP and Samsung all introduced Intel Atom-based netbooks late in 2008, missing the primary window of opportunity. HP gained some early traction with its Mini-Note product line, but these became most well-known for their dog-slow VIA C7 processors. All of these products have features very similar to the Aspire One, MSI Wind and Eee PC 1000-series. All of these late netbooks are solid products, but they have failed to differentiate themselves.
Toshiba and Fujitsu Miss the Train

Both Toshiba and Fujitsu dismissed netbooks as a fad and decided not to market any netbooks (at least in the USA). I expect that both ultimately will join the party (both now sell netbooks outside the USA). But these will also be me-too products that, like Dell, Lenovo and HP, will be primarily be sold to customers who are loyal to their brand.
AMD Implies Netbook Buyers Are Stupid.

As long as we are counting missed opportunities, we might as well include AMD’s netbook debacle. It was bad enough that the success of the Intel Atom processor took AMD by complete surprise. But instead of recognizing their error and taking action to address their shortcoming, AMD’s executives repeated bashed and ridiculed netbooks. I’ve long been a loyal AMD proponent, but their comments really upset me. It seemed that they were calling me stupid. I won’t forget that any time soon.

Summary

In summary, in just a few months, Acer took the netbook marketplace by storm. They used a combination of great product design, shrewd marketing savvy and crisp execution to leapfrog Asus’ early netbook success. They also benefited from a wide variety of mis-steps by competitors.

Today, Acer is the #1 manufacturer of netbooks. Great job! Congratulations to Acer!

No Linux for Lenovo IdeaPad S10

Tom Greer — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:55:20 +0000

As I was reviewing the pre-release information about the Lenovo Ideapad S10, I noticed that Gizmodo reported that Lenovo will not be offering a Linux version. Somehow, I had missed that piece of news.

I’m not surprised by this. Lenovo is going for volume. Eliminating the Linux version will help them keep their production costs down. They have previously publicly expressed concerns about netbook profit margins.

Of course, that means that Linux advocates (like me) will take their business elsewhere. That’s probably not a large number.

That also means that they will not be able to offer a product at the lowest price point. Asus, Acer and Dell will probably price their Linux versions at 10% to 15% below the S10.

Time will tell whether this was a good business decision.
