Acer Extensa 5230

Best Buy is currently selling the Acer Extensa 5230 15.4-inch laptop for $249.99, which is almost unheard of for a laptop with the following features:

Intel Celeron 900 (1MB L2 cache, 2.20GHz, 800MHz FSB)
– 2GB DDR2 667 Memory
– 160GB Hard Drive
– 802.11b/g/Draft N wireless LAN
– Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive w/ Double-Layer Support
– 6-cell Lithium-Ion Battery
– Windows 7 Premium

The laptop is unavailable online, but calls to multiple locations confirm plentiful availability of the unit for sale. With such a good deal, its almost amazing that there aren’t any lines according to our intrepid network CEO.
