Got 1. thanks OP

In 4 1 with GCO, thanks OP. Btw, does GCO qualify for the rebate?

Nice deal for for the XP model..... I have the 512/ 8 gb SSd model now and I love it, but I was hoping to use it to access my company VPN and I can't get a NORTEL Linux VPN client.

Count me in for one too!

your post is pointless, and doesn't add anything
here is a 32 gig SSD, not 120 gig like the system has OH ITS 400 bucks.

it will be at least a year probably more before they get anywhere near reasonable.
64gig SSD = $219 AR

Upon further reading, it may be a slow drive...?

PC Magazine essentially declared it a wash; both great, both great prices, but the Acer in the end by a margin.

I thought it was mentioned earlier that there is a 6-7 hour battery (more likely a 5-6 hour battery with a HD based unit) available, for @ $100 brings the cost up to @ $500, don't think you can get the competion with as long a battery life for the same $$$

On the subject of SSD vs. HD, while running Windows the SSD used by Acer and Eee are all slower than HD. Putting files on SSD is also slow. So after testing all 4 (Acer SSD vs. HD, Eee SSD vs. HD) I went with HD in both. SSD may be good for anti vibration, but if vibration is that bad, you are not going to be able to type or see much from the little LCD. And according to spec SSD does not consume any less battery than HD. I know it makes no sense (since SSD doesnt spin or seek like HD), but so far it has not come out ahead of HD in speed or power consumption (at least in this particular Acer).

Nope, both IE and FF worked fine. The site may have a slow down here and there but should be working fine now.

This looks to be a deal I want to take advantage of. However I am not a fatwallet pro and can not figure out how this CashBack works. Can someone walk me though it for this product?

It's fine, I just try both again, through MS Live Search. Got to the final stage (Complete Order). You could try another computer so see if that help.
