    WLMi $1249 http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10365501&loc=101&hdwt=22076&sp=1

    WlCi $1255 http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10365502&loc=101&hdwt=22076&sp=1

    Can anyone explain this too me. The WLMi seems like the obvious choice to get. But it's not just buy.com that has the WlMi priced less. Is there any reason to even consider the WLCi over the Mi?

    the LMI looks better becuase of:

    harddrive size
    dvd burner
    memory card reader
    graphics card

    and its five dollars cheaper. Looks like a no brainer to me, but maybe i am missing something.

    Yeah there has been sudden drops in the price of 2012WLmi all over the place. My guess is that vendors are trying to get rid of the current Banias powered WLMis because Acer is either putting Dothans in the new shpments or will introduce an entire new line which will replace the 2012WLMI and will be powered by Dothan. The former is more probable.
