    man that comp would have been a really nice laptop. (I went yay! when I saw that pentium dual-core in an Acer Timeline series with high battery life)... however, its the single core version. Oh well, cant have everything can we?

    Yeah, that link needs to be adjusted. I'm pretty sure it's the single core version on sale like danny said.

    Not only is it single core, but it's the SU2700 instead of the SU3500. That's not much of an improvement over an Atom processor.

    Yep, that's a single core. But if someone's interested in a 14", Tigerdirect has a dual core athlon for 479.00
