Yea, price has really dropped in this segment. This is a nice computer, but slow performance and poor battery life really hurts its chances.

I wonder if the coupon code works on any of the laptops they have in stock.

Excellent laptop, paid $900 for this in the last deal.

Bing CashBack also works.

Note that you can get the Adamo 1.4ghz 2gb ram 256gb ssd for $999 at Dell Small Business.

kinda overpriced, Dell has these with 1.4Ghz for $999

Yes $250 less with slower CPU is quite a bit of difference, but still $1500 price makes you think that this is super hot deal.

Also the unit on Dell has Intel® GS45 Integrated Graphics with 256MB Memory, bluetooth if that makes any difference?

That sounds like an awesome deal at SB side, cheapest 256GB SSD I know is over $500.

Be careful, it's not the usual 2.5" drive, just the memory chips on a card.

I thought that those were 1.8" drives? also I dont see any with 256GB SSD for that price...

Never cracked mine open, but other people have...

Not sure what to call that format (ssd drive).

"The drive is a Thin 128GB uSATA MLC. This particular drive utilizes 16 Samsung 64 gigabit multi-level cell (MLC) flash chips."

Looks like 1.8" SSD, Lenovo uses similar samsung drives for X300/X301 line

There is also a Sony netbook at 40% off, see Fat Wallet ad for the Microsoft Store.

From the looks of the SSD, its the same as most SSD drives without the case and a different connector. Its possible you can get adapters to use it elsewhere. Most likely its the typical Samsung drive -- medium performance SSD. If you buy the full sized laptop then the Samsung SSD drives are in the 1.8 enclosures. They don't show a close enough shot in that teardown to see whose controller card its using.

Right now the two "top" end SSD controllers are Intel and Indilink's Barefoot controller. Intel doesn't sell theirs as far as I know. Samsung uses their own that is fairly decent. Corsair P series SSDs are rebadged Samsungs - -what I have)

How is this deal compared to the one above: http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11506239&cm_mmc=BCEmail_Feb2010MVMLP-_-FOCUS-_-1-_-AcerLaptop

But the coupon will invalidate it. FatWallet Cash Back might work.

I don't understand what is so great about this laptop. Small HD capacity, ok processor. The laptop looks great but than 700+$ is not a small amount. I was wondering what the experts think of the followign laptop:

Not necessarily. BCB worked with the coupon last time.

They're not even the same size. What's to compare?
