    Hi
    After purchasing a 5101 I have found out that this is a single core not dual core processor as described on Acers website. After speaking to ebuyer they know that this is a misdescription and have withdrawn it from sale. The 5102 has shot up in price. I am bummed. Any input?

    Get in touch and state that when you bought the 5101 it was advertised as being dual core, which was the main reason why you bought it. State you want a refund on the model as they sold the item to you under false pretences. And of course drop in the fact that you will be in contact with trading standards over this issue.

    Course if the laptop is under 7 days old you can return it anyway under 7 day cooling off period.

    I've just bought my 5102 from comet.co.uk for £499. It doesnt have the intergrated webcam but comes with latest bios and a 120 gig 5400 harddrive.
