    The $350 model is the one with 120gb HDD and 3 cell battery. The $399 model has a 160gb HDD and 6 cell battery.

    how do the graphics and displays compare between the $350 and $399 model? BestBuy also has an ACER on sale for $399 (after $100 off...)

    All models have an 8.9" display with 1024x600 resolution and Intel GMA 950 graphics.

    All netbooks with the Intel Atom processor have GMA 950 graphics and Intel 945 chipset.
