Notebook-Acer Aspire One HDD (120GB SATA with Windows XP Home)	Intel Atom Processor N270 (1.60GHz. 512KB L2 Cache,533MHz FSB), Mobile Intel 945GSE Express Chipset, 120GB SATA HDD, 8.9" LCD, Acer Invilink 802.11b/g WiFi Wireless Network Network Connection, Windows XP Home, 1GB Memory (onboard 512MB + 1x 512MB Module), 6cell Battery	21,400
Netbook-Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook Computer	The default Windows XP configuration comes in at $399, and has 512MB of RAM and an 8GB solid state drive (SSD, they're flash-based, like your iPod nano or iPhone). For $50 more you can upgrade to a 16GB SSD and 1GB of RAM. Its more expensive than the comparable netbooks from Asus or Acer, though the lack of Windows XP configurations that closely match the Dell make a direct price comparison difficult since both Asus and Acer netbooks that come with Windows XP come with 120GB or 160GB hard disk drives, compared to the SSD in the Dell Mini 9.
