The Best Buy site reveals that this early Black Friday deal is the Acer Extensa Laptop with Intel Celeron Processor, model number is EX5230E-2177.
Best Buy states that quantities limited and there are a minimum 5 per store with no back orders. The option to pay online and pick up at the store was disabled and there is no word if that function will be restored. The best way to purchase this is online for a greater chance to find the laptop in stock as well as a way to save another $20 off of the Acer laptop.
Save an Additional $20
If this is an online only deal, prepare to pay a minimum of $14.99 in shipping. However there is a way to get $20 back on the purchase of this laptop, making the shipping a non-issue. How is that done?
Pay for the Acer Extensa laptop using your PayPal account.
Here are the terms of the PayPal offer:
Receive $20 cash back on purchases of $100 or more excluding tax and shipping ("Offer"). Offer applies to transactions at www.bestbuy.com when you use PayPal as the payment method. Offer begins November 8, 2009 and ends November 16, 2009, or as long as the Best Buy website indicates that the $20 cash back promotion is available, whichever occurs first. To receive this Offer, you must use a U.S. PayPal account in good standing and complete a qualifying purchase no later than November 16, 2009. The maximum amount of cash back per PayPal account is limited to $20 USD. The cash back will be deposited into your PayPal account within 2-3 weeks after the end of the promotion.
Free Anti-Virus Protection
An added perk: Best Buy will offer six months of anti-virus protection free with any laptop, desktop, or netbook purchase. That includes the Acer Extensa on sale November 11 for $249.99.
