These computers are on sale, the original price is the Acer price, but they would need the Win8 Pro upgrade, and the cheapest price for that is $139 plus tax and shipping from NewEgg for an OEM edition. The sale price is a wash if the manufacturer of the computer will upgrade for $80 and offer free shipping.
