Huge Netbook Price Variations Between Colors

Posted by Tom Greer on April 2, 2009 in Acer Netbooks, Asus Netbooks, Lenovo Netbooks, MSI Netbooks 

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.
