Hmmmmm..
Should I PM so I can use coupons?
Or, should I just settle for this? How does an Acer compare to a Toshiba? Reply With Quote

just FYI:
Acer announced on April 4 that it has achieved the number one position in both notebook and LCD monitor shipments in Canada. Acer is now the third-largest PC brand in Canada.
Acer Canada shipped 119,192 notebooks during Q4 2006, representing a 73% growth on-year. Acer shipped about 18% of the total number of notebooks sold in Canada in 2006, about 337,000 units.

Staples does not have this online - so you can only PM IF they have it instore.

Plus you do not get the "free" '250GB external hard drive'.
There is a "lower model" with "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950" for $100 cheaper (but I recommend you pay the extra $100 for this model). Reply With Quote

well, if stooples actually carried the same item, then technically yes you could still PM and get the free item... Originally Posted by Montague

No - so you will not get this "free item".
Please show me where I said in my post Staples will not match "free items" - I only refered to the free item Futureshop was offering.
Which model did you have? Originally Posted by sergiepopov
