neile457 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I went and looked at their online ad for my zip - here is the deal. The bad news is it says "available at most stores" $348 Acer AS5515-5879 Laptop Computer While Supplies Last * 15.4" LCD * 3GB memory * 160GB hard drive * Reads and writes CDs and DVDs
yuyi64 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Do you know what kind of processor???Reportedly it has the AMD Athlon 64 Processor 2650e (512KB L2 cache, 1.6GHz). We'll know for sure Sunday but that sounds right for that price point. They will also have a Gateway with an Intel® Pentium® T3200 Dual-Core Processor (2.00GHz, 667MHz FSB,1MB L2), 4GB memory, and 250 GB drive for $498 so you'll have a choice.
sallnori Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Do you think I have to be there at opening to get one of these computers??
yuyi64 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Do you think I have to be there at opening to get one of these computers??Depends on how many your store is getting but it probably would be a good idea to go early. A friend got the Gateway today since it's already ringing up at the $498 ad price, therefore I wouldn't be surprised if the Acer was also ringing up at the ad price today.
ObiRich Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Is the Gateway Laptop any good?From the specs, it's comparable to the HP at Best Buy/Office Max that's $549.
Dutchess Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks OP, was surprized to find one of these in my local WM today. Purchased one for my son. He has an Acer that I purchased about 18mths ago that still works perfect.. too bad I killed the screen on it! Now he has a new one! Thanks! PS, ACER is pretty darn good if you arent looking for a high end computer.
shopping4my3son Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Does anyone have a link to this? I can't seem to find this one online. Thanks
