SO
It's a refurb but might have been in good shape since it's not through cowboom. Too bad. This was about as inexpensive a decent touch screen Win8 notebook as I have seen. I have played with this model in the store and it's pretty nice. It's thin and light and the touch screen is very responsive. Beware that this is a bestbuy-specific model with older CPU. Asus offers another almost identical model with BT and newer I3 CPU through other retailers, although I have not seen that model this cheap, even as a refurb. Word on the street is that these things have non-upgradable RAM and relatively short battery life, but that's pretty forgivable at this price.
techsupport, you are correct. I checked everywhere and this thing definitely does not allow you to upgrade the memory, so you are stuck at 4gb.
It was sold out earlier. I checked back an hour later and its available again. I just placed my order. Hurray!
BTW, up until this point, touch screens on laptops have been a gimmick. Win8 has changed that and I believe it can now be a considered a useful feature. I recently started using a touch screen and I already hate it when I am using a non-touch laptop. It's not a "killer app" but it comes in handy.
holding out till I can use a touchscreen laptop to play whack-a-mole, but it is still in stock right now.
i was able to successfully place an order to be picked up on the 26th at my local store. $319.04 with tax.
hope BB follows through...
appears back in stock
The sound on this thing is so so, not even better than iPad, tried it on headphone, give up, sold on e-bay.
