Acer laptop $299.99 no rebates

I got one this friday, but they switch it with a 3680-2682 lesser model. I think I'm going to return it because it's not as good.

14.1 screen
440 processor
lesser battery I think

Oh, BTW I tried upgrading this notebook by dropping in a Yonah Core Duo T2050. Too bad; mobo no likey. Apparently they built it to only accept Merom Celerons. (shrug)

EDIT: The cpu in this notebook is a Celeron M 520, which is based on the Core 2 architecture, Merom core. It is a current generation CPU, but alas, only 1 core. Still, Vista works fine and XP is downright snappy.

I havent' done it myself, but check out this blog and the comments at the bottom. Apparently it is possible to upgrade the CPU:
