Re: Acer Aspire One A150 1GB Ram and 120GB HDD £129 at Tesco

I got one of these tonight at my local Tesco.

There were none on show though, just the 512mb/8gb ssd versions. There wasn't even a space for it on the shelf.

I just asked a sales assistant and he went and checked through the back of their store and hey presto, I've now got a nice Blue one for my son. That should put a big smile on his face when he wakes up later this morning.

I hope my store has one, I don't really care which size HDD/SSD. I'm not keen on the Aspire One, but for £130 you can't argue when compared to the £300 Samsungs.

Well none in the 2 big stores near me. One says they should get some in on Monday, and if they do I can ring and reserve, but not until they have stock. But then they said the price is £199 so I don't know if there is any point.

Get them to scan the bar code rather than getting the price off the shelf. People have already said that they are scanning at different prices to the shelf price.

They did, the shelf price was £209.


Although the one they checked was the 16gb SSD one which seems to be the only one they sell.



Can I have the number of the pleasant customer service woman as I have been wanting a netbook for about 12months, my 40min battery life is doing my head in

Just picked 1 up from my local store. They had the 2 versions, 1 with 1GB ram and 120GB hard drive for £129 and the other with 512MB and 8GB SSD for £99. They weren't out on shelves and had to ask @ customer services for it. Only in white too

Re: Acer Aspire One A150 1GB Ram and 120GB HDD £129 at Tesco

Many stores were meant to get resupplied on Monday, I know some did as according to HUKD a store in Whales had 20 of the things in a cage straight off a truck.


My store said the resupply depot had run out of stock so they aren't getting their resupply, despite being a huge Extra store. They did however acknowledge that there has been a price drop, but that isn't much use if they don't get any stock .

They did have one A110 (512mb) for £99, I guess I'll have to take that as it sounds like they wont get a single unit resupplied.

Re: Acer Aspire One A150 1GB Ram and 120GB HDD £129 at Tesco

No point me trying to get one. My store have been feeding me lies ranging from 'We've never had stock', 'We've sold a hundred of them' (after I had been told they had no stock', 'The price is £200 because it has XP'


They now say they will 100% never get any stock. So the Westwood Extra is a no go it would seem.

Lately they are saying that there is no stock left.

Yep, today the official company line is no A150 in any stores at all.


I asked about the Eee which is apparantly £114.50, so IMO a better deal as the Aspire One isn't that good, and having a business class Acer that is falling apart I am dubious of the build quality in a sub £250 netbook.


As expected no stores have any netbooks at all, atleast not in the coastal SE region. Tesco seems to have really dropped the ball on supply. Some stores have got alot of stock still, while other stores seem to have had none or very little to start with. I understand keeping stock levels high with such a deal is hard, but when a massive store in a busy area is given less stock than a small store in the middle of nowhere you have to wonder about stocking strategy.

Though people are still picking them up, aren't they? So they're not all gone.

Do they have any of the EEE PCs?

Your acer is falling apart? Hm...

Yeah the stock situation is strange.

Cheers.

Official company line is different from reality.

You might find an Eee PC, but not in my area. It is the Eee PC 904 HD. Although from customer services said very few stores actually stocked the model so finding a store that stocked it, then finding one with stock, will be a task.

All the screws in the bottom have come out, I've lost about 4 of them as I hadn't noticed until somebody told me the bottom of my laptop was falling off . The flaps above the HDD and GPU etc are only being held in with about 1 screw each, I've been on the search for compatible screws but they are really, really tiny ones. Plus something has happened to the AC port and the AC adapter falls out, not when pulled, it just falls out. This is a £1000 Travelmate laptop with Magnesium Aluminium reinforcement, HDD shock protection and they can't even make the screws stay in properly. Maybe the A150 is built better, I know that upgrading the RAM .etc. is a right pain as you have to dismantle the whole thing.

This seems dead now, I spoke to customer services this morning and they told me no stock anywhere, no restock. Gutted I didn't get one.
