BIOS nos:

3114/3305 = 120GB
3301/04 = 160GB

So far pretty much guaranteed. Tried and tested on 5 now (a few instore even!), same everytime

My BIOS no is 3301 and i have 160GB

Feel free to add if you have another BIOS number not listed..

Did you power them up to check! Most of the ones bought are boxed up and labelled as 120gb, but are found to be 160gb on power up and checking system.

i wish i had the balls to do that, but no just read on other forums

I bought one today from the Minworth Birmingham store. They said that they had loads in the warehouse. I tried all the instructions from several sources and still cannot get my Huawei modem to connect to Linux though.

Just posting from mine now!! After arriving home with the empty box this morning!!!!

I'm totally techno phobic (my DH does all that!) and couldn't even use a touch pad till now. Let's just say I'm getting there with practice - and to anyone who is wavering, go and get one! No problems with the Linux operating system so far either - if I can get used to it, anyone can!

Couldn't live with the limitations of the 'acer desktop', so did the simple hack to unlock the full desktop.
However, I realy don't like the layout of Linpus.
Had a look at other linux distro's, but according to the AA1 user forums the driver support is not there yet - and the installation instructions were scary even for the tech. savvy amongst us.
So....i'm in the process of constructing a bootable XP installation on a usb pen drive so I can install XP!
An OS i'm familiar with, and is guaranteed to have good driver support direct from the manufacturer.

Decided to bite the bullet and buy one of these . It's really great and simple to set up on Orange Broadband. As a bonus, I was lucky to be sold a 160 G one!

There were still some left at the huge Tamworth store yesterday (Sunday), but I would advise phoning up in advance before travelling any great distance.

Cheers

You've got it set to a US keyboard. (you should have been prompted to set it during the first boot)

Right click on the 'EN' icon in the system tray & you should get a popup menu with 1 item; select it. You should now be able to correct your keyboard/language/locale settings to English/UK.
