£299 Acer laptop from Comet, currently being advertised on the tely

I have had a look at their site but cannot find it on there to check the spec. Does anyone now anything about the laptop. Apparently it has been reduced from £399.

thanks

    Here is the main thread regarding the laptop

    They have the laptop on the website but it is part of a package for £349.99 which includes a bag and wireless mouse plus some norton software, the laptop was avaliable on the site by itself for £319.99 which then wnt upto £329.99 which I paid but am now getting the difference put back onto my card

    Is that not misleading advertising then....... Rather illegal

    Must be two seperate deals they have on as when I went in-store there is no mention of the package as they just have the laptop for sale.

    When I purchased mine from their site I purchased a Logitech laptop bag and wireless / optical mouse which cost me £30 so the deal is not a bad price

    I was surprised and a bit angry that I paid £329.99 for the laptop online as it said "online special price" and in-store was £399.99 then two days later they have them in-store for £299.99 so I am getting the difference that I paid for the laptop back on my credit card from Comet
