    There should be once Santa Rosa actually arrives to the mfr websites, as they will likely try to push the old inventory quickly.

    Anyone interested in the 20.1" Acer 9810-6829 which has a suggested retail of 2999.99 but this week at CompUSA it's 2599.00. I bought one last week for 2700 and emailed to see if I could get the 2599 price which they have a policy about. Good deal for a laptop that's mobility will be mostly room to room and not taken on plane trips. No they don't make a case for it to fit in.
