Have you seen and tested the Acer range?

 

What if I say you can have either of these units FREE, test them, throw them, stand on them. Just do what ever you would do to a Dell or HP.

 

The agreement is if you can tell me that the Acer unit is not as good as Dell or HP equivalent after two weeks then I will collect it from you, if you like it then you tell everyone by replying below and either buy it or return it your choice.

 

This agreement will stay in place until you all like acer!! :)

 

The N260 is the pro version of the Aspire Revo which can be viewed here:

This offer of a loan machine also extends to the Aspire Ones and Desktops, with laptops I can't supply all units on demo but could send a sample unit.

 

Hope that helps.

be good for digital signage those little ones. Are extended warranties available?

 

Yes there is a 3 year warranty about £30 per unit dependant on volume purchased.

Refurbished one of our ICT rooms with L410s a few months back and they get a definite thumbs up from me - lovely little machines, pretty much silent and very nippy :) If you're tight on space they're a bargain!

Price went up with my suppliers this morning on the N260G with Vista Business, it is now £222. Sorry!

 

The XP Home varient has gone up in price also but I can hold the £160 at the moment.

Er, VESA mount, even? A couple of those would do nicely for digital signage - how much is an XP Home N260G with delivery and VAT?

Curses. I could have saved £60 if I'd ordered yesterday :-)

 

We ordered two N260Gs, plus 19" widescreen monitors, yesterday, paid for standard delivery and the machines were here this morning. The machines work just fine - small enough to fit nicely with a monitor on a bench, quiet enough so that our shiny new staff work area stays nice and quiet, and performance seems perfectly fine for most anything that the average teacher is going to want to use them for. The built-in wireless will probably come in handy, too. They do, however, come with:

 

2007 MS Office System

Acer eRecover Management

Acer Product Registration

Acer Screensaver

Adobe Reader 9

Bsuiness Contact Management for Outlook

Cyberlink Power DVD (this on a machine with no DVD drive, mind)

Embassy Trust Suite

eSobi V2

Google Desktop

Google Toolbar

Marvell Config

McAfee Security Centre

MS Office Web Components

MS Office Primary Interop Assemblies

MS Office Small Business Connectivity Components

MS Office Activation

MS SQL Server

MS SQL Server Native Client

MS SQL Server Support Files

MS SQL Server VSS Writer

 

which all need removing.

I am not aware of your order, did you order from Acer Outlet? If so tell me your order number and I will refund the difference.

Yes, we ordered from Acer Outlet - order number 4999. I thought £220 was a pretty reasonable price for a PC, too, but it's fine if you want to give us some money back! Is there some different way we can/should be ordering from Acer Outlet? I simply used your website - put in our schools' credit card number, machines turned up next day.

So, they powerful enough to run for example the promethean software and some basic edu software? This could be what i need for the couple of rooms where their machines are on their last legs..

 

Any discount for 9 machines? ;)

aww gutted, i liked the old price of £160...

Don't be gutted! The £160 was the XP Home version which is still fine (might even be cheaper!) The new price is the XP Pro £190 is much lower than before!!

 

They are perfect for running a white board and basic software, in fact we have one here running our accounts system without any problems at all. Given their size and being wall/monitor mountable as well as great energy usage they are perfect machines for the classroom.

 

If you want to test one I can offer a 7 day trial but at this price I would need to ask you to cover the courier cost £10 each way if you didn't want to keep the unit. I hope you understand my need to charge for this.

 

Thanks

I have had a look on the Acer Outlet site but i cant find it.

Can you give some idea where this is please!

Just thought I'd quickly post a couple of images of the Acer Veriton machine in our new staff work area. I'm impressed with the amount of space they don't take up - they can tuck right up against the wall, leaving plenty of space for people to work if they don't happen to want to use a machine at the moment.
