Acer laptop mystery continues

By Marcia Pounds July 4, 2009 08:37 AM

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
