Acer has announced new updates to its K-12 Seed Unit Program. Acer is again offering schools the opportunity to “test drive” an Acer Netbook for use in the classroom through a free, no-obligation 30-day trial.

Running now through August 31, 2009, any K-12 school or school district in the United States is eligible to enter. The only requirement is that they use an Aspire® AOD150-1165 Netbook free for 30 days and participate in two short conference calls with Acer to provide feedback about their experience with the product. Schools can also purchase their trial netbook at a 50 percent discount or return it to Acer without further obligation.

In September, just in time for the new school year, Acer will hold a random drawing, where one participating K-12 school or school district will win a computer lab, while three other schools will receive 30 Acer Netbooks. The computer lab consists of 30 Aspire One Netbooks; 30 Veriton Desktops; and 30 Acer 17” V Series LCDs.

VARs who sign up an approved school or school district will be eligible to win one of five powerful Acer Predator gaming desktops.
