    Anyone know when or if the Acer Aspire One 522 will release in the USA with the C60 CPU?

    Seems like no one has it. Again I am talking about the 522, and not the 722

    Funny, I was just about to ask the exact same question!

    The Acer 522 with C60 is being sold here in the Netherlands for 250 euro which I consider a very good deal. I wonder when they will start selling them in the US.

    this wait will be tough, I really want a 10 inch (no larger) netbook with C60 that support 1280x720 or higher. Seems like no one has this but Acer. Wonder if any of the european online shops can ship to USA (california specifically)

    Another thing I noticed is that most of the Acer Aspire One models in the USA don't include bluetooth (not sure why). I had planned to open up and install an Intel 6230 that includes wifi/bluetooth, should be ok I think...Of course I would need to use a half-size to full size mini-pcie adapter (which I have).

    Where in California do you live?

    I'm coming to CA next week. I could bring you one. Would love to play with it first though. Let me know if you're up for it. It's about 249 euros with a 320GB HDD: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/291131/acer-aspire-one-522-c6dkk.html
