    Did you all get a call or email to collect? I've not had anything and was supposed to collect today but am collecting tomorrow.
    Check your Tesco Direct account, it should say Awaiting Collection.

    It does, thank you.

    They have always called in the past but I am collecting from a new store on the list so maybe this is why.

    My husband has now said 'I'll have one of them if it is any good'. And my friend might be having the other. So everyone is happy.

    Can anyone confirm that you can't use Skype on these?

    I am sure I read on another forum that people had probs trying to use Skype on this model.

    I've used Skype on a D250, it should work without any issues out of the box. (after downloading skype, of course).

    Picked up my 4 thanks, all specs the same so the rest going back unless unless my friend wants them. I guess others might be doing the same so they'll come back into stock periodically. I kept one blue and one red, the kids are delighted and I had a nice quiet evening, LOL.

    Also ordered some of the £3 laptop cases. Will pick those up when I take the netbooks back.

    I am upgraded some ram on my OH but have it coming next day or too from crucial

    Also got rid of the bloatware and upgraded the bios on Acer web site. Put Commodo av/firewall on (its free) got rid of norton and mcafee and trial software and games

    Shame you cant change desktop background due to os disabling that feature, I tried some work arounds which didnt work.

  • Would this Netbook run Ubuntu Netbook?
    .....

  • Collected mine today. Had the red one and asked for the blue one to be refunded. While she was processing the refund she asked me how much I'd paid - said £143.20 - and she said brilliant price as it now scans at £210.00!
