I hope the price in the UK drops a bit more. It has dropped about $17-$18 this past week at one of the biggest online retailers. I'm confused though, I'm sure I have seen some sites offering a 3 year manufacturer warranty on the...

If it is a good price/feature ratio you are looking for in a mid-range laptop.... the Acer 2012WLMi is damn hard to beat. Check out the review linked in my sig. ...and stop waffling! You remind me of.... me! - Omar
