Some buyers are reporting they're getting an Athlon 64 4200+ processor in this.

This gets rave reviews at £350, so seems a steal at £250! You couldn't buy all the parts and oem Vista for this!

5% discount might be available with the right code...

Bump!

Sorry for my ignorance but do you have to purchase windows vista seperately or is that in with the price....it doesn't make it clear

Comes WITH Vista Home Premium edition included.

Just seen this hubby works for the company that supports Acers in this country and there are major problems with the system board on these models so make sure there is a good warranty period on them first! Parts are hard to come by too.

Warranty is 12 months and then there's the Sale of Goods Act after that as well, so not really a concern.

Can your hubby tell us what the mobo in these is then?

Also NO forum post complaining of this problem that I can find, which is unusual as people are more likely to complain than praise.

Then again, my last car was supposed to be a bag of poo in terms of reliability, yet I covered 120,000 miles in less than four years without a breakdown!
