    Cool, thanks for the heads up, after taxes the 8204 costs the equivalent of $2,932 USD. Ouch that's pricey!

    Good news, Thanks for the info. But I noticed it said "Stock: 2-7 days", which means we probably still need to wait for a couple of days until they actually have the stock.

    yup their min wage is like 9usd/hour, but everything their cost like USD prices.

    For example McDonalds combos in US cost 4-6$
    McDonalds combos in UK are also 4-6Pounds
    McDonalds combos in Canada are 4-6$

    Min wage for USA is ??
    Min wage in UK is around 4-4.5 pounds
    Min wage in Canada is 7.45ish..$

    Not only does this price comparison apply to foods, it almost applies to everything in the UK... what ever something costs in the US, it costs almost the same in the UK... same for Canada too...hence the conversion rates do not give a real definition of price comparison.

    The Acer 8202 is about 2000$ USD
    The Acer 8204 is about 2400$ USD
    Acer 8204 at Canadasys is 2400$ Canadian

    Thanks,
