    An eMachine notebook?!?

    So, as many know, Acer bought out Gateway earlier this year and, subsequently, acquired eMachine at the same time since Gateway had bought eMachine a while before that. I was browsing through the Best Buy website when I cam across a budget notebook for $499 that, to my surprise, was an eMachine. What are everyone's thoughts on this? I don't quite understand this move considering Acer already offers budget notebook from their own product lines and just recently started selling their new netbook Aspire One at $349.

    EDIT:

    I forgot to add the link for others to check it out. Interesting, yet slightly outdated specs if I am reading this right...
