Acer laptop mystery continues
I wrote on Thursday about a $300 laptop that Staples was advertising in its weekly ad. On Friday, Staples sent out e-mails saying the 15.6-inch Acer notebook wasn't available in South Florida.
For those still looking for that laptop, check out today's (Saturday, July 4th) Brandsmart ad in the Sun Sentinel. The store is advertising the 15.6" screen laptop with 2GB for $348.88 and a smaller Acer notebook, with an 8.9-inch screen and 1 GB ram for $248.88.
Again, shop and compare, and make sure the laptop is going to fit your needs or those of the high school or college student who needs it for class in the fall.
The hunt goes on for the inexpensive laptop. Let me know what you find out there! -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

Watch out for the cheapest model, it may have mini OS for an operating system, not XP Home like the larger 10 and 15 inch versions.

I received that email. When I saw the listed laptop I forward it to a friend who is in the market.
When I called her later on Friday (after I saw the "correction") she was not very happy with Staples. The rep she spoke to at their store tried to tell her they were out of that model (Friday morning) and offered her a choice of other laptops (which were all a lot more expensive).
This sounds a lot like the old "bait and switch" game to me!!!
