Aspire One Model Number Cheat Sheet

Filed Under Acer Aspire One, Netbook Market |
In developing the information for our Netbook Buyers Guide, I found myself consistently confused by the various model numbers and part numbers used by online merchants to describe the Acer Aspire One.
Some merchants simply describe the features. For example, at Amazon.com here is what they offer for $519.97:
Great. Is that the 3-cell battery version or the 6-cell?
With a little digging, you find this on their product page:
Item model number: LU.S040B.110
Another example, J&R shows this Aspire One available for $379:
Acer Computer AOA150-1570 Aspire One 8.9” Notebook PC
Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz / 1GB RAM / 120GB Hard Drive / Intel GMA 950 Graphics / Webcam / 802.11G Wireless / 2.19lbs / Windows XP Home
But is this the 3 or 6 cell battery version? White or blue?
The text shows AOA150-1570. That is the model number. The AOA150 prefix means this is an XP model. (AOA110 prefix is used for Linux models.) The balance of the model number appears to me to be random. Each color has a separate model number.
So, after more research than it ought to have required, here is a cheat sheet to assist you:

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. -Jeff
My understanding is that some have a 640×480 webcam and some have a 1.2MP (1280×1024?) webcam. Can you please update your matrix with information on which webcam these models have, as you get this information?
