Should I buy now or wait untl it ships from the factory with Windows 7 ? I see with the rainfly up, the screens are exposed, do they zip up for privacy?

I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit (retail) with 4gb ram on my 1410. I can confirmed all drivers work right away - wifi, video, audio, hdmi, LAN, touchpad (though you might want to install the acer version). I have not tested the webcam but i'm sure it'll work. There is an update to the video driver and LAN. I agree with John. The dual core with the SU4100 processor should be out sometimes after windows 7 release. But the price may be over the $500 price mark. I think the SU3500 chip in the 1410 should be fine for most tasks - it can even handle 720P and 1080P files.

I just got off the phone with CDW. After placing my order saturday for the onyx they said the shipment from acer was expected to arrive 9/22. On tuesday morning the website changed to an expected ship date for my order of 10/7. After talking to them on the phone they said the vendor hasen't called with a reason they weren't delivered or new expected date, but all the pre-orders should be filled whenever acer does deliver them.Update.. Just spoke with them again, the ETA for them to receive the onyx black is 10/15, the sapphire blue isn't until November...

I bought mine in Feb 2014. It was supposed to be not used old model from the inventory, but mine was not. It was used one covered with black plastic tape pretending new one, installed with new Windows 7. It had no Web cam also. Only the reason I decided to keep was since this one is pretty stable computer if you know this hardware. If you can change the hard drive to 1TB, it will be great server pc at your home.

You more then welcome....the model # is on the back of the laptop (if you have pruchased one), then it is also on the inside on a sticker...I'm glad I was able to help you. If yoou have anmore questions, I'll be more the happy to help you out. If you haven't purchased that is just weird that the model# isn't listed...on Toshiba's site, the reason is, is that this model has been discontinued due to Windows 8, there are very few of them anymore with the Windows 7, so I'm figuring that's why you can't get the model #....You can if yo have it, then you can go to the forum where they dicuss it at toshiba.com...Have a good day....Peace Out!

I was just about to purchase the rainmachine and then I read through this thread. I chose to go with another product based on the lack of feedback from Green Electronics. You replied over a year ago and said you would let us know and despite multiple inquiries, you still havent provided an update. If you tell me you are going to do something then I expect you to follow through. If I were a customer and had questions or needed technical support, I could only assume I would never receive a follow up since you're unable to do so here.

Two questions. Does anyone know how long it usually stays out of stock? Or does it just come back at random? Anyone know if there is a way i can be notified when it comes NEW back in stock? Any help would be great. Thanks.

I just ordered this model a few weeks ago as a second monitor to for my existing one, same model, and I noticed a yellowish tint. Didn't know this was an existing known issue. Am not at home so I can't look up the manufacturer date. What areas shold I take?

How do you open it to add memory? I have had this for about 3 days, and it seems to work well, but my wife complains it is too slow on her farmville mega-ranch :) There is no documentation or anything at the acer site. The owners manual just says to "take out screws", but I only see one visible screw in the bottom. I removed it, but nothing came apart. It seems to be a nice PC, removed all the free-software and it runs everything well so far. It is also so small and quiet.Any help would be appreciated.

I am going to wait. Had the TF201, but sent back because of the GPS issue. The two factors making me wait are the lack of Gorilla Glass and the brightness of the display (not the resolution). I plan on using it heavily outside, and both of these can make a significant difference when out of doors.

Sincere apologies for delay in answering your question, I was getting married that week! Anyway, I would recommend this computer without hesitation. I use it for programming and have a lot of software installed on it. It performs everything with ease and I love it. However, the only downside, if you could consider it that, is the OS. Win 8 has not received great reviews and I am not going to jump on that band wagon as it is quite easy to get used to. But, Windows 8 is not yet fully supported with any existing ahrdware you may want to connect to this machine. Other than that, get yourself one of these!

Have you tried "classic shell" yet. Makes it operate like win 7, but faster. Also boots into desktop vs metro crap. I have not seen thAt metro screen in the 5 months i've had classic shell. But if you still need to go to win 7 you will need a key ($100) and a install disk or usb.

I purchase it and it's nice but it does have the Internet and it looks like it's running window 95 or 98 so that tells me it's old so I'm trying to see if it can be updated through windows center but I haven't done that yet and you probably want to check before buying if it have more info on it and if you have a number to contact the people that sells it but that is good question

I had the same concern but I just received mine and it does. It is a tiny whole on the right side of the machine which seems to work very well. This is an impressive machine but of course I am waiting for Windows to download 29 'important' updates.

It did not come with paintshop or trend micro. It came with a trial version of Norton. I assume most versions of this computer come with "trial" versions of such software and I'd rather not have my PC bogged down with software, trial or not, that I don't want. But the computer itself is solid, fast, and a great buy. I'm very happy with it. I hated windows 8 at first but now that I'm use to it, it's amazing, and I enjoy although the PC isn't a touch screen. I hope this helps, but before you buy a PC with those programs you want to make sure they are not trial versions because you can download them yourself. It did not come with paintshop or trend micro.

Ty, How was it that you had it for $1600 @ Best Buy two weeks ago, when they are selling it on sale NOW for $2499.99? And does anyone else have anything to say about the PC MAG review? Other than that review, I believe every other website I read recommends it. Is PC MAG completely out of line?

Hi, I don't know for sure if I am going to sell it or not. I purchased it for $299 with free shipping on tuesday. It was shipped on wednesday and it arrived today(thursday). Fastest turnaround for any product I ever ordered on Amazon. Looks like a really neat computer. Thanks for the offers and the input.

I'm not a student but carry it around to coffee shops and work. Is not as light as the Air but light enough. It's a little slow though. Get the i5 version if you can...that's what I got and even then it's slower than I expected for a new laptop. Windows 8 takes getting used to. I've had it couple months and still not used to it.
