A NOTBook from Acer at Best Buy This Week

What else would you call it?

It's really a Notebook at a NETBOOK Price.
====================================

Best Buy was offering an Acer laptop (AS5516-5474) that had been previously listed at $299 for $279.

The specifications: an AMD Athlon TF-20 64 processor, 15.6-inch WXGA display, 2GB DDR2 memory, DVD-RW drive, 160GB hard disk drive, ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 graphics, 802.11b/g wireless, 10/100 Ethernet LAN, and Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. Pretty close to mainstream-laptop hardware with the exception of the low-end AMD-ATI silicon and the older "g" wireless.

Revealed By Tweet Straight

from the Window's mouth:

"Here you have it, folks. We knew this was coming, but the first photographic evidence of a Microsoft retail store under construction has just come to us -- via the company's Twitter account -- and we have to say, it brought a few tears of joy to our eyes. The first two stores are set to be opened in Scottsdale, Arizona and Mission Viejo, California this fall.

Wonder if the inside will look anything like those plans we saw? "
