    Actually, the price above (189 delivered) is for the blue one. The white one is cheaper than the recon at 179.97 delivered. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Aspire-One-Netbook-Seashell/dp/B001BZ923O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1231593475&sr=8-5

    Meh. Not drastic for something SMALL and light. However, I paid £300 delivered for a laptop with a hell of a lot more spec, but it was 5 times heavier :D


    On Amazon: £120.99 = 3 years laptop insurance. Blimey, the laptop only costs £180 and in three years will be a doorstop :D
