The C710 is NOTHING like the Acer C720.  It is more like the old, slow,
underpowered netbooks we all remember.  The C720 CPU is like a Core i5 from a
few yrs ago - vt-x support and it is FAST.

BTW, I think I've seen the C710s for $70, refurbished. Can't remember when/where.

Definitely check out the CPUs on these things before purchase.  Coming from an
Asus Eee 1008H, I'm extremely pleased about almost everything - except the
FRACKING power button location!
