Cool deal.

Is there a link to "the rest of the story"?

I have seen Acer computers on Newegg for some time. Very cheap machines. Great for the Average home user.

I've been looking for a cheap-ish laptop now, but I really want one with a decent amount of battery life.

And, I'm sorry, but the specs on that Acer machine are not impressive. =( I've seen Dell laptops at £250/£270 with better specs.

My Acer was £300 second hand. It has a far, FAR better spec then that...
But, for a new price of £300 I am impressed. And I'm not sure what your talking about Dells...
The cheapest Dell laptop is £50 more and has an ancient Celeron. It also has a smaller hard drive. It's also very ugly.
