    £15 next day delivery? Or are they offering a lower delivery charge for the Aspire One?

    I agree the delivery is a bit steep. I paied the £15 wich is double what Amazon were charging. The positive side is I have it now (RAM upgraded to1.5GB already, installing XP now and waiting for new HD to come). I guess it's a question of how impatient you are. ;)

    Both mine arrived today from SimplyAcer. Just playing now :D

    They had cheaper delivery options, but after being kept waiting by amazon for 2 weeks I was prepared to pay the £15 for some (almost - less than 24 hrs from order to delivery) instant gratification! (Still cheaper than buying at PC World as well).

    Not when PC World did a price match ;)

    Glad your kit arrived OK, looks like acer is getting a good start on their sales drive in the UK.

    Amazon's free delivery is faster than Simply Acers, although they don't have the stock ;) I'm prepared to wait another couple of weeks, I've preorders with Play.com and Amazon, but hoping that the Play order comes through since I'd save £20. If neither delivers in two weeks I'll be prepared to pay more.

    ordered mine from dabs on friday, reseived it on monday. 8gb 512 white linpus.
    they used next day delivery for free although they only advertised 3-5 day delivery for free... I'm not complaining though :)
    also from dabs I got the 2200mAh battery but the samsung ssd.

    Well I've just discovered that Amazon have pushed back the estimated delivery date for my pre-ordered Blue Linux 8Gb from early next to sometime between the 26th and the 1st Sept. :cry: Guess my hopes rest on Play.com.

    Dropped in at PC World this morning, they refused to price match Play.com or Amazon because neither had stock this morning. Apparently it's policy to only price match online stores which have stock at the moment of purchase.

    yeh, PC world it depends on each store, each being a franchise and all. just pot luck if you encounter a nice manager or not

    Got an email from Dabs this morning extending the delivery date to the 4th September.

    Found them in stock at acerdirect.co.uk, ordered and dispatched within two hours. Cancelled the order at Dabs.

    Fingers crossed it arrives in the next couple of days.

    Mine was dispatched today from Amazon, this was after changing from blue to white. The blue was estimated for the end of the month. I still have a blue pre-ordered with Play, I haven't decided if I want to cancel that or whether I'll sell it on to make back the difference in price.
