Acer Aspire One AOD250-1151 10.1" Netbook for $229 at Amazon

http://www.amazon.co...ef?ie=UTF8&s=pc for blue
http://www.amazon.co...ef?ie=UTF8&s=pc for ruby red

It seems to be selling quick since the black and white ones are already higher priced.

Hope this helps beating out the crowds on BF

Ok im sitting here with the red on ein my cart and finger on buy now.No tax and no shipping total is $229.Think it will get better than this before Christmas?

[neile457]

The BF ads have them for $149 - $199

I know but the way i figure is the one @ B.B. will be $200 after taxes,the emachine @ WM will be $216 after taxes so if paying a few extra bucks now thats one less thing i have to fight for on BF.I went ahead and bought it i just hope it really is a bargain @ $229 and has fast enough speeds for my DD to play on it.And i got her the red one.Looks nice and shiny.lol

Do they come with any type of warranty? Or do you purchase one separately?

Comes with this whatever it means.
Warranty: One-year parts and labor limited warranty with concurrent International Traveler's Warranty

these are nice. where i live the tax is 7.75% so on $200 that would be $15.5. i think it is worth the extra $14.5 not to stand in line at early hours of the morning to get into limited stock. unless you can get them for $150, then i think it is a good deal. you can also return them to amazon UNOPENED for a full refund, or opened for a 15% restocking fee within 30 days so if you find a better deal you are safe. my 2 cents.

keep in mind that those compaq's at bb for $180 have a fixed 1GB memory max so you can't upgrade to 2. keep that in mind when hunting for netbook this shopping season

Its going to be @ Target tomorrow for $199 and you get a free sleeve Damn we are all deal nuts....LOL

OMG WTH.LOL Are you sure?How you know this?Yes i am going nuts trying to figure all this out.Do they have different colors or just black?Do you have a link to the one @ Target?

[Deal Grabber]

Ok what is the difference in 16 GB hard drive and 160 GB?

yup its on page 7 on the ad!! says Acer netbook has 10.1" display, winXP, Intel Atom Proc, 160GB hard drive and 1GB RAM. #AOD250-1165 NO RAINCHECKS

you get a free sleeve a $12.99 Value

For $59 bucks you can get a 2 yr Service plan....

144 GB LOL

that's a huge difference in storage space. I probably would never buy anything with 16GB of storage. The media cards I used in my camera 8GB, couldn't imagine a computer with only 16GB.

[cjs9473]

I cancelled my order because of Target's ad, but now I'm wondering whether I should have...the sleeve doesn't matter to me, I will end up paying $12 in tax at Target, and there is no guarantee they will have them, and will they have the cool colors?, plus I will have to drive there...I think I will reorder from Amazon.

[angelic680]

It doesnt say anything about colors in the ad. Target opens @ 8am, when does the amazon sale end, plus walmart has yet to put a netbook on sale

[tdanette]

I grabbed 2, at least I don't have to worry about not getting them on BF. Plus each kid has a different color. Thanks op!

[bettyn100]

I thought about it. But since I already bought a purple one for my daughter with windows 7 starter I'd like to stay with the windows 7 starter on the one I buy for my son. It would cost just about the same to upgrade this one to windows 7 starter as just buying one with it already on it.

Gosh I hope this is true - they don't have this model on their website currently...

Even though I am hating on target these days, I am seriously considering heading over there today and buying and getting an adjustment tomorrow. I think I will buy the sleeve too, just in case they sell out before I get back to get the adjustment. My daughter and I both want one - badly...

LMAO.Now thats funny.I was pretty sure thats what it meant but the reason i was asking is i always like to compare things before i buy them.TRU has in there Big Toy Book a HP one for $299.I was comparing the specs with this Acer and the HP one has 16 GB where as this one has 160gb and its cheaper so i thought maybe i was missing something.

That was what I was thinking too. Reviews were good for the most part and one of the reviewers said it was upgradable to 2gb ram. Plus I don't think the ones on bf come in colors so for a few $ extra, I think it's worth it. BTW I looked and it is 286.xx at Walmart right now (no color option).

Do you have a scan of this ad? Is it only the blue one? The acer that is in our local store is 389. Not sure on the model #

[bfaddict1977]

does anyone have this ad yet? It's not online. I'd definitely like it but want to know the specs. Thanks.

Its the same one listed in OP.

Angelic has the ad and she already posted the specs, I'm not sure what more you want???

[nat1jen]

I know that this is a silly question, but are these all on sale at great prices b/c they are XP instead of Windows 7?

Yes they are a good deal, but I think they will go down less...just have to wait out the storm

[bettyn100]

This one will be on sale at radio shack starting tomorrow for $229

Windows 7 Starter is a much leaner operating system than windows xp and was geared towards netbooks also.
