Acer has clarified its pricing plan for the eagerly awaited Aspire One sub-notebook - and it’s clarified the price upwards.

At launch, the company stated the basic version of the Eee PC rival would run Linux, pack in 8GB of solid-state storage and 512MB of memory, and sport a £199 price tag. Company officials stressed that that figure included VAT, the UK’s 17.5 per cent sales tax.

According to ComputerActive magazine that the One’s retail price will be £220 including VAT. Indeed, a run through of the few vendors.

The Linux and Windows XP versions of the One will now include a 120GB hard drive rather than the 80GB HDD announced at launch.
