Acer R3610 Revo - Atom 330 Dual Core - 160GB HD - 1GB RAM - Linux - £154.20


£154.20

783°

FOUND BY: jweaver 1 month, 3 days ago

STARTS: 21/10/2009   

This is my first deal, so be gentle.. The Acer R3600 with an Atom 230 occasionally pops up for £160 and everyone goes nuts for it.. So I have been waiting to buy one, but I found several sites listing the 330 (Dual Core) version for less than £160 and I thought it a mistake as I didn't even think that the Atom 330 version was out yet.

But after making enquiries, it turns out to be true.. This IS the 330 Dual core version and is actually the R3610 (but listed as the R3600) and MUST be a mis-price.. I don't think that the sellers realise that this is the 330 Dual Core version and as such are selling it for less than the 230 Single Core version. Put this link into your browser for a closeup of the label:

ftp://jweaver.homedns.org/revo.jpg

Is exactly the same as the standard Revo R3600 with 1GB RAM, 160GB HD and the ION chipset, but this has the Atom 330 Dual Core processor so its upto twice as fast!

Weirdly there are several suppliers all selling from the same 'stock' (they all show 23 in stock right now):

Insight UK
MicroWarehouse
Ballicom
Lambda-tek

I guess that the stock is being dispatched directly from the manufacturer. I went for Ballicom as with Free shipping it works out the cheapest.. But since Insight/Microwarehouse take Quidco, its possible to get it slightly cheaper from them.

Get in quick.. There are only 23 left and I get the feeling that when stock is replenished, it won't be £150 any more...

Apologies but how sure are you that this is the R3610 model?

Cheers, Scotty Boy!

Agree, is this a photo you've taken of one you've purchased from this reseller?

Would be handy to confirm that one, as the only concern I have is the box does not show reference to a dual-core CPU based upon the photo you have.

Cheers, Scotty Boy!

The photo came from a friend, who also bought one the same time as me... His got his today.. Mine is onroute, but will be delivered whilst I am at work.

The 330 is a Dual Core.. There is no other option... You can't have a single core 330, it doesn't exist!

Ballicom still show 22.. BUT.. Be cautious.. They all share the same stock and its not updated in "real time", so if someone buys from one supplier, the other will still show stock until its updated.

I can't even see any other shops that sell this model yet, can you?

I found info on it from tech websites, but no release dates yet.

Just purchased from Ballicom UK and the stock number has gone down by one - so confused if this is coming from a reseller or not.....

Now concerned that maybe I shouldn't have bought it! Why dont I think before I click!! Hope everything works out.

Good deal if it all pans out. Thanks

Just ordered one from Insight. Used the discount code from Bookie (thanks buddy!), and with shipping it came to £151.78 - plus quidco @5%!
Let's hope it is the dual core version. I'll stick windows (might dual boot it) on it and connect it to my TV - and can work as my media streamer! Mmmmm.
Then I can retire my current PC to my office to churn out downloads all night long! Happy days!
