    It says 120gb, but doesn't mention the size of the RAM?

    Edit: after some searching I believe that it comes with 512mb of RAM.

    If you type acer a150 in the search box the results say 80gb.

    The model advertised is:
    ACER ONEA150AB

    So I guess the Acer a150 may be a different model?

    My point is if you put ACER ONEA150AB in the search box the result you get says 80gb. Try it....

    My only concern is if you buy it and they send an 80gb version they could say it says 80gb on the website and refuse a refund.

    It even says 80gb when you go through the ordering process so any receipts would show 80gb even if the page says 80gb.

    If you scroll down to the bottom of the product page, it says 512MB RAM but then also mentions the A110 - quite a confused description...

    If you buy online I don't think they can refuse a refund because of the distance selling regulations.

    I had forgotten about that and it's free delivery so no being out of pocket that way. Pity the 15% discount is only over £300.

    I've just watched the youtube video about upgrading the RAM and it looks like hard work and would invalidate the warranty. Why did the make it so difficult?!

    Well don't put it into the search box, rely on what it says on the site you may buy it from. If it turns up with only 80gb on it then you will be due a full refund since the item wouldn't be as described.

    Or, have a loook here:
