my order is in :)

awaiting stock of the 512MB 120GB BLUE XP AA1 from simplyacer

 

£15 next day delivery? Or are they offering a lower delivery charge for the Aspire One?

 

I agree the delivery is a bit steep. I paied the £15 wich is double what Amazon were charging. The positive side is I have it now (RAM upgraded to1.5GB already, installing XP now and waiting for new HD to come). I guess it's a question of how impatient you are.

 

Both mine arrived today from SimplyAcer. Just playing now

They had cheaper delivery options, but after being kept waiting by amazon for 2 weeks I was prepared to pay the £15 for some (almost - less than 24 hrs from order to delivery) instant gratification! (Still cheaper than buying at PC World as well).

 

Not when PC World did a price match

Glad your kit arrived OK, looks like acer is getting a good start on their sales drive in the UK.

 

not all pc worlds do a price match, depends how kind the manager is

 

Amazon's free delivery is faster than Simply Acers, although they don't have the stock I'm prepared to wait another couple of weeks, I've preorders with Play.com and Amazon, but hoping that the Play order comes through since I'd save £20. If neither delivers in two weeks I'll be prepared to pay more.

 

ordered mine from dabs on friday, reseived it on monday. 8gb 512 white linpus.
they used next day delivery for free although they only advertised 3-5 day delivery for free... I'm not complaining though
also from dabs I got the 2200mAh battery but the samsung ssd.

 

ended up preordering it, hope i get one of the first batch otherwise ill cancel, cuz im changing my address

 

Well I've just discovered that Amazon have pushed back the estimated delivery date for my pre-ordered Blue Linux 8Gb from early next to sometime between the 26th and the 1st Sept. :cry: Guess my hopes rest on Play.com.

 

simplyacer said they would have the rest back in stock towards the end of this week..

not sure how much truth is in that though, alot i hope!

 

19th August is the dispatch date i got from amazon there, for the 120gb hard drive 512mb linux blue model

 

Dropped in at PC World this morning, they refused to price match Play.com or Amazon because neither had stock this morning. Apparently it's policy to only price match online stores which have stock at the moment of purchase.

 

I'm feeling even happier I can type this on my AA1 from SimplyAcer now!

 

glad to hear it!

yeh, PC world it depends on each store, each being a franchise and all. just pot luck if you encounter a nice manager or not

 

another 1-3 weeks now for amazon

 

back to dabs now

1-2days (or so they say...) for the blue 120gb model

 

Same here so I ordered form simplyacer and it shipped within the hour. At the depot at the moment.

Not happy with amazon though

 

Got an email from Dabs this morning extending the delivery date to the 4th September.

Found them in stock at acerdirect.co.uk, ordered and dispatched within two hours. Cancelled the order at Dabs.

Fingers crossed it arrives in the next couple of days.

 

Mine was dispatched today from Amazon, this was after changing from blue to white. The blue was estimated for the end of the month. I still have a blue pre-ordered with Play, I haven't decided if I want to cancel that or whether I'll sell it on to make back the difference in price.
