    I reckon they (argos) made an error??, I seriously doubt ALL the stores in Ireland are sold out of this item so quickly! more likely they realized they made a mistake and will rectify price on Monday.

    I tried to order few mins after OP posted, got the ''Can be ordered for collection Monday 6th''

    If someone has reserved 1 and does not want it can they PM me please :)

    Thanks

    I reserved one in Longford but won't make it down - if anyone wants it PM me (I didn't PM the people who requested as I figured the location would be an issue).
    btw, I reserved this one at about 10.30 yesterday evening, so doesn't look like Argos pulled it - more likely a boards plunder's responsible for the depleted stocks.

    I didn't think this was a misprice. Endgadet reported the price would be $330:

    http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/acer-aspire-one-d255-with-dual-core-atom-hits-at-330/

    ..which in fairness is dearer, but not much so I thought "maybe it's just a decent reduction, fair play Argos". Then I checked the Argos UK site:

    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5084265/Trail/searchtext%3EACER+ONE+D255.htm

    £279. So I doubt anyone will get it for €224, certainly not when they start wondering why they have to deliver 50 of them to Dublin on Monday.

    I dunno. I bought a camera lens (flagged here) in Argos a couple of years ago, and it was much cheaper here than in the UK.

    Padraig Mor is right, remember the Samsung 46" Argos price differential between the UK & Ireland that caused a feeding frenzy here couple of months ago.

    Have one reserved from yesterday.

    But I must get it today and not Monday like others.

    Not 100% sure if I need it though,does anyone know if the battery will really last 8 hours ? Has wireless built in doesn't it ?

    Prob last 8 hours if you have all energy saving settings turned on, but that would include turning wifi off :)
    Yes all netbooks (i believe) come with wifi.

    I dont understand why this would be the case. Its still at the discounted price on the website.

    Beacuse they change their sale prices every week, new "bargains" go up on Wednesday

    wouldn't be too disappointed if you miss out on this. atom dual core is only 10% faster in performance tests than normal single core atoms. you can get a single core atom netbook for the €225 if you look around anyways.

    €334 now.

    Not so much of a deal. Must have been a misprint.
