- News on the ultra low-cost PC front
- Those under-sized, ultra low-cost laptops continue to generate over-sized news. When Dell announced a $600 laptop for the India market, many sites assumed this was the rumored 8.9-inch challenger to the Asus Eee PC and HP Mini-note.

- Acer TravelMate 2480-2153 (Celeron M 1.73GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Vista Home Basic)
