Vendor Typos!! Regarding AS1681LMI

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Those interested in this great system should not be fooled by poor vendor identification issues regarding standard features!!! Read the following below:

UPDATE: AS1681LMi Specs (Vendor Typos!)

The U.S. version, model #: LX.A2705.0*8 going by what Newegg and other resellers post is the UK model equivalent (U.K's ID: LX.A2705.068)--am guessing something happened to the preceding digit (6) for identffication/continental purposes, who knows.

However, the point is it DOES come with 512Mb DDR333 (two 256 Sticks) as opposed to a single 256 that's advertised on newegg.com and chiefvalue.com, and DOES NOT have intergrated Bluetooth--TYPO!!!! A testimony (the very last post) from a fellow AS1681LMI owner who bought it from Newegg:

Here's acer's UK (not advertised in US) website, in it, Bluetooth is not listed anywhere as a feature in the specs for all four models! Vendor typo!

Anyway, thought I'd clarify and not let vendors mislead folks who would otherwise buy this notebook, me included. Hope vendors spot this error quickly so as not to cause anymore confusion.

Thanks for that info. I had this on my short list but internal bluetooth is a must have for me, so off the list it goes.

Another important point is the battery that ships with the 1681Wlmi USA version is not ever going to get anywhere near 5 hours. It is a 4 cell 2.5 hour battery that will most likely get between an hour and an hour and a half at most in normal use. It IS very lightweight though, so I suppose that is the intended functionality to be a "travel" type battery to save weight. I guess it would be great for those who are never very far away from a power source.
