    Buy Acer Aspire V5-122P-0681 Touchscreen Laptop - Microsoft Store

    Microsoft Store -
    Acer Aspire V5-122p-0681
    11.6" HD Touchscreen (1366x768)
    AMD A6-1450 1000MHz - 1400MHz quad core
    6GB DDR3 (2GB on board, 4GB expansion, 1066MHz max speed, single channel only)
    Windows 8 64-bit / 8.1 free upgrade
    Backlit Keyboard

    I own one of these and it is an excellent basic ultrabook. It handles regular tasks perfectly well, and can manage gaming somewhat ( see my thread on this).

    Battery life is realistically 3hrs+ with surfing, just remember to turn off the backlit keyboard and screen brightness down. There is an add-on battery as well you can buy.

    There is user support for this here at NBR as well: http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/724071-acer-aspire-v5-122p-owners-thread.html

    Since there are two retail locations in your state, you would be subject to sales tax.

    At $299 it's an excellent price. Hopefully it will be back in stock soon.

    Here is another one on the site, looks like same specs, just now stock with Windows 8.1 no need to self upgrade: Buy Acer Aspire V5-122P-0646 Touchscreen Laptop - Microsoft Store

    $379 though. Still not a bad price, that's what I bought mine for.

    Only thing that would make this best deal was if they included Microsoft Office with it like the Asus Transformer.
