And finally, the availability. Adam Westley, the UK marketing manager for Acer, was unable to promise a precise date, but did commit to the week commencing 21st July.

The Dixons group will be the first to get it but a lot of that depends on distributors like Computer 2000 and Micro P rather than Acer itself.
