Acer launches £199 subnotebook

The Acer Aspire One will be on UK shelves on 10 July, said Acer, although the manufacturer is also working to push the device out through mobile-phone operators as well as standard retail channels.

The subnotebook will not be Acer's only Linux push, though — according to Morbello, the company will be putting open-source operating systems on its higher-end laptops as well.
