Still can’t find this for sale anywhere online. Can you? I’ve got a cr-48 and a Chromebox. The cr-48 is showing it’s age. I’d like one of these to play with. It seems like a good middle ground between the lightweight Samsung Exynos device that recently came out and the previous Samsung Series 550 I think.

If you can’t stand to use anything other than your status symbol Mac, then leave Acer to the masses, while you can bask in your more sophisticated taste. In reality, they are more equivalent to a dodge neon. Certainly not for everyone, but not necessarily terrible either.

But it is still an Acer.
I cannot fathom myself touching an Acer.
It shares the same low end shelf space as Gateway, Packard Bell and eMachines.

They are the Ford Pinto, AMC gremlin and Yugo’s of the PC world.

i would say the bigger hard driver is mostly a marketing gimmick.

i sell computers and the question from newbie’s is always ‘how many gigs?’

they perceive the bigger the better without even knowing what it means.
