</div>The C710 is NOTHING like the Acer C720. It is more like the old, slow,<br>
underpowered netbooks we all remember. The C720 CPU is like a Core i5 from a<br>
few yrs ago - vt-x support and it is FAST.<br>
<br>
BTW, I think I've seen the C710s for $70, refurbished. Can't remember when/where.<br>
<br>
Definitely check out the CPUs on these things before purchase. Coming from an<br>
Asus Eee 1008H, I'm extremely pleased about almost everything - except the<br>
FRACKING power button location!<br>
