Acer Ferrari4006WLMi - 100GB or 120GB?!?!

Over the last month, I have done research on which laptop I want and believe that I can get the most out of the Acer Ferrari 4006 for the price. If I do purchase this laptop, I would like to purchase it from newegg.com because of their price/service.

Newegg states that this model comes with a 100GB hard drive as well as the following sites:

Buy.com
ZipZoomFly

The sites below states that this laptop comes with 120GB:


TigerDirect
eCost
Everyone on eBay
CDW


OnSale.com actually STATES BOTH!! (100GB below the title, 120GB in the Specs table below)

If you click any of the links above, you will be taken right to the product page.

Can anyone please clarify how much hard drive space the Ferrari 4006 comes with? All of the models above were the (LX.FR40M.027) so I do not see why there would be any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also does anyone here own this laptop? If so, please let me know what you think of it.

Thanks.

 

There was probably a typo somewhere along the way which got replicated again and again. According to Acer's website it is 100GB. That would be my guess. You should note, NewEgg's return policy regarding notebooks is poor. Once you buy it you own it. They will only replace it for 7+ dead pixels.

 

A few weeks ago, I called Newegg and asked them this question. They told me to contact Acer, and they provided me their phone number. According to the person I spoke with, "The LX.FR40M.027 has a 120 GB" but they were kind of clueless and had to put me on hold for 5 min to get that answer. So I'm not sure if newegg got a different setup then most of the other companies or if it is just a simple typo.

I just found where you got the information on acer's site ( here)

But the ironic thing is that EVEN ACER HAS CONFLICTING INFORMATION!!! When I click the "Technical specifications" link above the text, under storage, is says "Up to 120GB* Ultra ATA/100 hard drive". This is supposed to be the specs for All Ferrari 4000 models as stated in title of that page. Is this implying that the 4005 has 100GB and the 4006 has 120GB or does it mean both have 100GB but can be upgraded to 120GB? I didn't think there was a upgrade limit on hard drive space (only things like memory). According to the sites I listed earlier to purchase this laptop, 120GB is included as well as a many magazine ads I saw advertising this product!

Also can anyone recconmend anywhere else to buy from. I was thinking of newegg because of their price and great service I have had with them in the past.

Again anyone who knows anything else or anyone who owns the Ferrari 4006, please clue me in.

Thanks again.

 

I have yet to see a 4006 with less than 120 gigs...

 

Are you talking about online or have you actually seen them in person?

 

My 4006wlmi come with 120gb.

 

I noticed they don't list a speed for that HDD, which really makes me wonder. You'd think on the Ferrari line they'd use 5400RPM. I have a TravelMate 4402, which comes with a 100GB, 5400RPM HDD - the 4404 comes with a 120GB HDD, but it's only 4200RPM. I'd prefer the speed over the extra 20GB myself.
