Specs misprinted

Best Buy misprinted the specs in its flyers. It only has a 16 Gig solid state drive, not 160 Gig Hard Drive as stated. Was pretty disappointed in that when I went to store to look at it. No bluetooth either. But it does indeed have Wi-Fi. What notebook this day and age wouldn't?

As for the 99 cents, I think it's only a 1 week promo, and coming from Sprint, it's not competition, it's desperation. But tempting nonetheless, and if it helps Sprint recover some customer base then hey, go for it.

What operating system did it have? XP or Vista? The spec sheet doesn't say.

More than likely it's got XP on it.

For that price, I wouldn't be surprised if it came with Linux.

Thanks for info. I suspect that they will move to Windows 7 Basic by year end.

If it had Linux loaded I would get one but I will have to pass on XP.
