    You may want to put this post in the Buy, Sell & Trade section. You may get more traffic.

    Are you sure the OS is XP Home? The 3201 series is a business computer and all come with XP Pro.

    Also, the price seems a bit high. Did a conversion to US & Canadian dollars and it's approx $2500US and $3100CDN.

    I saw many people complaining about the specs in their countries (no DVD-R, no Bluetooth or no 80GB HD) and i thought i could help them.

    The SO is the XP Home and here, the notebook is delivery like this.
    You can see at www.acer.pt

    1999 euros is acer´s price for portugal and i didn't receve anything. You can confirm the price here:

    http://www.acer.pt/acereuro/wr-resource/4250026268/upload/E0Entity0/4/ListadePrecios-%20NB-web.pdf

    I made the conversion and the price is 2500 dollars but i think this is not hight looking for the notebook exclusive specs (BLUETOOTH,DVD-MULTI,80GB HD,etc..)

    I'm sure that's what you paid for the unit in Portugal, but I just wanted to inform you of the cost in the US/Canada is less. It'll be easier to find a buyer in US/Can if the price was lower.

    Regarding the Bluetooth, it is included with the 3201 units in North America (users have confirmed), the optical drive can be bought and replaced ($130US) and the HDD will be replaced for a faster drive (7200rpm), that goes for $150-$200US (approx). Plus, the OS's in North America is XP Pro.
