    It's a bit annoying thing... I saw brochures about Acer 4601Wlmi and they claimed that there is X700 g-card inside that computer. Then I went to talk to a saleman and asked from him if it is true.

    Well, he looked from their store and Acer homapages. Nope, it isn't true. It is said in both places that there is "only" x600.

    It's real bad publicity and REALLY ANNOYING that brochures and real computer don't match together. I don't like the way that Acer sells/advertises their laptops.

    Once I sent a letter to Acer and asked them about the same thing. Answer was something like "If you buy your laptot today, you should get the newer one..." (meaning with that better "configuration"). Well, do I get or don't? It's not only confusing but it is also real annoying.
