Best Buy lists well-equipped Acer laptop for $299

**MIG-31** · Jul 20, 2009, 07:38 AM

Best Buy has listed a 15-inch Acer laptop with relatively robust specifications for $299. But try getting your hands on one.

Though listed among the "new arrivals" on Best Buy's Web site, it is currently not available at stores or online. But there is anecdotal evidence of its existence. Very-recent user comments indicate that people have purchased the laptop and other stores, such as Wal-Mart Stores and Amazon (which shows it in stock), list it at a higher price.

It has equipment from 2-3+ years ago. Why is it so exciting that it is at a low price?

It's a good price, but i wouldn't call it "well equipped". Maybe compared to a netbook or something.
