Acer Aspire 3100 Coming Up
During the most recent Acer UK product briefing, the Acer Aspire 3100 was brought up as a potential new notebook offering. For now, it looks like a lower-end clone of the recently unveiled Aspire 5100 (which BTW seems like a lower-end clone of the Ferrari 5000).
Instead of a high-end AMD Turion 64 X2 processor, the 3100 will come with a (relatively) budget-class Sempron 3200. It’s other specs are commendable though, with 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 100GB hard disk drive and a DVD dual layer drive.
The price of this 15.4″ wasn’t revealed at the briefing, but some online retailers seem to have stock of the notebook already - with Laptop Direct placing a £479.95 price tag (inclusive of VAT) on it. This translates to about US$890, which doesn’t look to shabby considering that this figure will probably be smaller state-side.
