    Around the same price for a brand new one, but you have to search well ;). Weird almost ALL the electronics are more expensive here including computers and laptops but it seems that Acer ripped the curse.

    I would pass. Terrible deal.

    1. Not much of a discount off the full price (399) you would pay for a brand-new, 160GB, 6-cell Acer.
    2. No choice of color.
    3. Only 120GB Hard Drive, not 160GB.
    4. 3-cell battery instead of 6-cell.
    5. You're dealing with TigerDirect and their questionable business practices.
