    Hey All,

    I really like the 291 series and I did some price comparisons on notebookreview.com, and I came up with a great price of $1040 for a 291LCI-G from Pricemad. However, there is something a little wierd - Pricemad lists the machine as "1.4 GHz Pentium 4-M, 512MB, 40GB, DVD/CD-RW, Windows XP, 15" TFT Acer -291LCi-G." To my knowledge, there are no 291 models made on the Pentium 4-M chip, right? So it seems like this should be a typo, but I obviously want to know before I buy. In addition, the info lists the system as having 1mb cache and the 855 chipset, which are, as far as I know, defining features of the Pentium M, part of the Centrino package. I've emailed Sales, but haven't heard back yet. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks a bunch.

    Zach

    Zach,

    That was a typo on Pricemad's part. This is a Pentium M notebook, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

    Here's the link to Acer Canada's site that lists the exact specs:
