    MWave lists this notebook:

    http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=3568001

    ACER ASPIRE 1521LCI ATHLON 64 3000+ / 512MB / 40GB HDD / 15" SXGA / DVD-ROM/CD-RW / XP PRO/ 802.11G WIRELESS (NO STOCK)

    For $1440.97. I can't find detailed information anywhere. Acer's website doesn't list it. I assume it's an update of the 1510 series that's been available outside America for quite some time. Does anyone have more info?

    Ah, this guy found it.

    The manual says:

    Mobile AMD Sempron™ processors 2600 + 3300+ or higher with
    128 / 256 KBL2 chache, supporting AMD PowerNow! Technology
    and HyperTransport technonlgy(for Aspire 1360 only)

    • AMD Athlon™ 64 processor 3000+ to 3400+ or higher with 1 MBL2
    chache, supporting HyperTransport technonlgy(for Aspire 1520
    only)

    • VIA Chipset-integrated UnichromeTM PRO graphics core, with up to
    64 MB of shared memory

    • 256/512 MB of DDR333 SDRAM, upgradeable to 2048 MB with
    dual soDIMM modules

    Display
    • The TFT LCD panel providing a large viewing area for maximum
    efficiency and ease-of-use:
    - 14.1” XGA (1024x768) resolution( for Aspire 1360 only)
    - 15.0” XGA (1024x768) or SXGA+ (1400x1050) resolution
    - 15.4” WXGA (1280x800)

    • NVIDIA GeForce4 448 Go with 64 MB of video memory
    (manufacturing option)

    • NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 with 64 MB of video memory
    (manufacturing option)

    • NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700 with 64 MB of video memory
    (manufacturing option)

    So the question is, which screen and GPU option does the 1521LCI have? I'm going to guess that "SXGA" means SXGA+, and if that's the case then the GPU is probably the 5700. Ethernet is 1000Mbps (gigabit). This should make a really, really nice Linux notebook. Heavy bugger though, 8 pounds, I'm guessing they're using 62W or 81W A64's rather than the new 90nm chips.
