I ordered it today and I got an email from Bing saying I was getting the $15. It appears on my account page as pending, so it appears to work by all means I know to check. I suppose they can always cancel it, but someone with more Bing CB experience will have to weigh in about that.


I also used a coupon and it shows pending in bing account. We shall see.

I am assuming you need to have received the coupon, or is it available somewhere?


Looks like this computer still has a slow processor (1.3GHz Intel Pentium SU4100 Processor). I thought this new generation of 11.6" netbooks would come out with a faster processor. Wasn't that the plan?

The only way for netbooks with screens larger than 10.x inches to get a faster processor is to buy them from AMD. Intel will not supply them. Also, MS will not allow Win XP to be installed on netbooks with screens larger than 10.x. That is why the ACER 11.6 netbook has a slower processor than the Atom n270 and 280 and comes with Vista Basic.
