Hi All,
We have a heap of Acer Refurbished Stock at great prices with netbooks starting at just $199, Notebooks from $268 and Desktops from $268. Looking at jumping on the tablet PC craze then look at the Acer Iconia Tablet starting at $588.
Limited stock so jump on quick as they are selling very quickly!

The acer tablet the rep is talking about is a windows one.
Also the specs for the acer iconia 3G are wrong, http://www.estore.com.au/Acer_3G_-_ICONIA_Tab_W501-C52G03is_…
Do it !, lol

Hmmmm. Acer Iconia refurbished for $588, or Acer Iconia new for $598. Not a bargain.
Keep in mind that the $598 is an Android one. This is a Windows one. Might not seem like any difference, but the architecture is completely different, hence why the W500 starts from $682 new on StaticIce.
W500 from becextech.com.au is $624 and $630 from portagadgets.com.
I should mention that:
W500 = Windows 7 Home Premium…
W500p = Windows 7 Professional…
Portagadgets is in USD and again Home Premium Model.
The one listed here is for Windows 7 Professional. Not that Windows 7 is a good OS for tablets by any means :) But comparing apples to apples.
Looks like I was wrong. Tried to withdraw my neg but not able to at this point. Sorry OP!
Not a bad deal, keeping in mind this is an Acer Iconia W500 (i.e. an x86 compatible Tablet for running a full Operating System on it) and not the Acer Iconia A500 (the Android Tegra-2 equivalent).
The difference between the two is that the W500 will run Windows 7 / Windows 8 (Developer Preview Edition runs super well on this device with just 8 seconds boot-time, am playing with one) and the Android device will run Android 3.1 (which is a steaming pile as far as performance goes compared to the iPad 2 / Froyo on 1GHz Snapdragon phones - hopefully Ice Cream Sandwich fixes this issue!).
However - I'm not going to + the deal as you can pick up from $682 brand new. If these were closer to $400, I'd probably buy another one refurbished. It'd definitely be a bargain if these were new. But then again, I'm pretty hard to please with technology lately.
Where to get the W500 for $682 brand new? Also does it come with the crappy dock?

Unsure about dock, I don't think it's available without the dock.

To the rep: What sort of condition are refurbished laptops in
"Are they bad?" I think the answer might be obvious if there are so many that needed to be "refurbished"!
