I believe they are sold out at the moment. Newegg and Microcenter will hopefully be getting more in the near future

Okay I finally finished the clean install of Windows 7. To install the drivers, I ran "Setup" within the folders for all the drivers that I had backed up from C:\OEM\Preload\Autorun\DRV. Hopefully this was correct?

Also when I go to "Device Manager" > "Processors" I have the Core I5 listed 4 times. Is that normal?

This is really getting annoying. Will Acer please produce or distribute these a bit faster? Every where I see its is sold out (i5 version). Cant Acer see they are selling fast?

Hey is there a specific way/angle to put the charger into the port 0_0? or is it just naturally hard to push in, seems like i kinda have to force it.

It's normal. Windows sees it as 4 virtual processors. It's a dual core with hyperthreading, hence 4 processors

Blank Screen

Following the Graphics card installation process, my end result is always a blank Windows Login screen when switching back to "switchable" mode in the BIOS. I've done this several times already and there has to be something I'm missing.

The Intel drivers work fine by themselves in Switchable mode. I reboot in Discrete mode, add the ATI drivers and it's still good. Now whenever I boot back into Switchable it shows a blank login screen. I know it's there from Windows 7 startup visualizations, and the sounds at the login prompt ... I just can't get the computer to go back to the Intel drivers instead of ATI.

Help?????

Did you install Acer's default ATI drivers? (It comes bundled with the Intel drivers too.) You're not supposed to install ATI and Intel drivers separately. You can update ATI drivers, once you installed Acer's default ATI drivers.
