That does not mean it is 'not nationwide' at all though does it? It means your local one had none.

None @ Norwich Longwater.

Edit.
None @ Brazen Gate or Pound Lane either.

Insanely hot. How can anyone be snarky about this? An SSD-enabled PC with easily upgradeable RAM and HDD bays for £99? And just for good measure there's a 22-inch Full HD monitor thrown in too!

As a media PC this is just fine and will play pretty much anything. Use Edge for YouTube/iPlayer/Netflix etc and install Kodi and K-Lite Codec Pack for everything else. Fine for surfing the web and light office work, too. What's to complain about?

Good price for this, but just a personal gripe. It infuriates me when people start a post with 'went hot @ £.....' as if that means this should go even hotter. Nothing against the op, and this is a good deal, but in the end if people like the deal then they will vote with a click. By the way voted hot for the deal

Where did you sell your monitor?

I'm mainly using mine for media, installed openelec from a usb drive for kodi and set to boot. Really pleased with the results. Sold the monitor for £60, so £40 for the net top. Happy days :smile:

I picked one up today in Ballymena (Northern Ireland)

​Thanks for that.
V helpful :smiley:

I found the upgrade to Windows 10 ok, took less than 1hr to do from start to finish. The only thing I uninstalled before upgrading was McAfee. I then ran the upgrade tool (you can get the ISO here) to start the upgrade. Once Windows 10 installed and up and running then uninstall all the programs by ACER and anything you don't want. I found that cleaned things up nicely.

In terms of HDD this should work fine Samsung 1TB 2.5 inch 5400RPM SATA II Hard Disk Drive

Not a bad little machine and amazing price, I've just picked up 2 from the Sainsbury's near me (Otley). Like another poster said it still had the £149 ticket but I got them to scan it and £99 came up. The 22" monitor it comes with is 1080p so the Ultra HD will only be an option if you plug it into a different monitor. You also don't get a keyboard and mouse but a remote which basically is a very small keyboard and mouse and a bit clunky to use. This would be useful if you put it in the lounge I guess, anything more serious then you will need the full sized ones. Also it comes with tons of bloatware which I'm currently uninstalling before the free upgrade to Windows 10. Icing on the cake (if you needed one based on the price) is you can pop a 2nd hard disk in (2.5 inch) to expand the storage so I've popped in a 320gb I had lying about.

Rang my local branch, quoted the SKU number who said "it's discontinued and we haven't got any. If you know a store that has them I'd suggest getting one asap". Er, that's why I'm ringing you!

Bought 2 bundles from Bridgend Sainsburys on Saturday. 1 bundle had a faulty monitor ( discoloured screen on left side) So I had to return it to Newport (40miles away as they were the only ones left with stock )

Set it up last night and this monitor also has the same fault. It looks like the way they've packaged the Acer Revo ontop of the monitor, inside the bundled box. Its about a 4kg box putting pressure just on one side of the monitor.

Its quite hard to notice if you just had a single monitor, but comparing it with a working monitor its very noticeable discoloration on the left side. Very frustrating if you have a dual monitor set up.

Other than that the monitors are really awful, so much backlight bleeding, 80% of black is light grey, you'll have to tinker with the monitor settings and your graphic card settings to get it remotely 'good', even then its still way off anything decent.

Sainburys have given me the choice of returning both bundles for a refund, or I can send of the monitor to Acer for repair.

So I wouldn't feel so bad if you didn't manage to get this deal, unless you really didn't care about the quality of the monitors and just planned to sell them on.

So true! Linux Rules :smiley:

Unfortunately only RAM 2Gb of RAM hinders this computer. The OS alone uses this with nothing left over for apps. I appreciate this can be upgraded, but then the price of this 'bargain' goes up. So, if you want a slow pc with a poor grade monitor then this is the perfect deal.

why unlucky? :smile:

Unlucky mate. :stuck_out_tongue:

:smiley:

+1 Great little 'out of the box' set-up

Probably just pi****d they didn't manage to find one

Is there an item number/reference we can quote when ringing branches? You know, for when they deny that they sell computers...

Just picked up one from Bletchley mk stuck out back they didn't even now about them great bit of kit only prob is no speakers

Stock Update... One available in Sainsburys Barnwood.

Will buy for £150 if anyone sells.

I Got one thanks op

Stock update for the southerners !
One left in High Wycombe as of 10am this morning (Saturday)

Yes I collected it from Brentwood at about 2.45. I have no idea if it was from the shop floor or stockroom as it had been reserved for me and had been placed behind the counter. My guess is it was in the stockroom. They would need to search on their computer for Acer Revo which probably tells them it's location within the store and also shows a national stock list.

Very helpful lady in the Chelmsford store this lunchtime checked stocks in other stores and rang Brentwood to reserve me one (two were showing in stock). Two were showing in my home town of Welwyn Garden City but she phoned them and they said they hadn't got them. Three were showing in Canvey Island at 2pm but very few other stores with stock (I was browsing the national list while she was on the phone). Letchworth were showing two and Watford one.

Bought for £149 on Wednesdays, very nice lady on CS at Winnersh store refunded £50 on Friday
:smile:

Thanks to the original poster, kimbo87, for this deal. After visiting a local store, I ventured out and found one nearby. Their stock system said that they had one, but they couldn't find it. After searching even more, it was discovered in the 'reserved' cage and was set aside for a customer. The ladies checked nearby stores and there was one left about 15 miles away and they called the store and asked for it to be put to one side.

I've unpacked it and will boot it up tomorrow. With a spare wireless keyboard, mouse and a ram upgrade, it should be great for basic tasks such as word processing, watching video files, surfing the Internet, etc.

And I was just about to say that I'm about to return mine (not that it's not a brilliant offer just not appropriate to me!) perhaps I should sell it privately!

Thanks, I called Halifax store and they said that don't have any but Wakefield store has. I called Wakefield, they checked in the department and called me back, saying that none left. :smiley:

Keep trying mate, need to ask the staff to check in the back as the box is pretty big and takes up to much space on the shelf. Also if you go instore they can check on their system which store has them, then ask them to ring and reserve. That's how I got mine

Called my local Sainsbury and bought last one last night :smiley:

Because someone got to the shop first and got it for £99, they should sell for double the price? Not a problem, I can wait.

Called Halifax, Leeds, white rose shopping centre, Wakefield, Bradford (bd10) - with a negative result.

Thanks, had a hint from a post last night that Wilmslow may have stock. Economically outside my travelling range sadly, more so Macc.
Thanks anyway for the heads-up.
See many laptop deals posted, very few desktops, pity.

Btw does the OP or anyone who has bought this already have a picture of the nettop itself please?

Wilmslow and Macclesfield both had them

I called central Salisbury last night who said the have 2 left out back. Can't be bothered to drive that far though.

None left in the Sunderland North store

FINALLY GOT IT!! (Sorry for shouting but needs must. :smiley:)

Manager kindly told he's willing to drive from Ipswich store to Colchester store so i can pick it up which is closer for me to drive to. :smile:

Someone sounds bitter!

There is still one in the Dawlish branch, top shelf rear of the store opposite the Xbox One stand.

No real need for it for me, so someone can enjoy it.

Got the last one from Watchmoor Park, thanks OP.

Boom, just got the last one (Ripon store).

Quote of the day, thank you for making me laugh :smile:

Someone sounds a little bitter!

Also the only way he could say that was if or as he did get one!

Removed all bloatware, installed windows 10, deleted old windows install (freeing 25 gig memory) and for general browsing and media it's spot on.

I bought one when it went down to £150 but took it back after a week. Not good at all.

None at Shore Head Huddersfield to save anyone the journey...

EDIT: Following the comment above, just to add none on display. I never bothered to ask.

got last one in Bristol Emersons green. thanks op :smirk:

Ask if you can pay the new price

Yer I started playing with it last night tho, won't take it back was trying to find another one so I could return the unopened one but no joy round my way

​Thetford.

none on display as I was leaving but looking at the size of the item, they could certainly not put more than one on the shop floor. I won't be surprised if they have more in the stockroom. You lose nothing trying tomorrow.

ah man if only i had a big sainsuburys near me

Thanks.

I had a dabble with my mates i3 and i thought it was sluggish, however it did still have a raft of bloatware on it. I was really keen keen on one, less so having used one.

Its a deal though!

Correction - looks like the monitor is not UHD, but they were still a great buy.

I can't believe you get a 3840x2160 monitor, SSD, remote control and a windoze licence to all for £99.

They were such a bargain that I picked up two ;-)

Just come back from White Rose Leeds didn't know about this was checking network adaptors lol

picked up one in lancaster

Looking to shove this behind the tv to use as a big screen pc and media streamer. I want to use the spare slot to shove a decent sized hd in. Something between 2 and 4 Tb. What kind of drive should I be looking for? Spin speed, etc. Thanks in advance.

Southampton /Portsmouth oos.

What connectors does the monitor take? HDMI? DVI? Display port? VGA?

Btw non of the Northampton sainsburys stock these. Just checked which is a shame!

Nope - sorry. They had two left when I rang up at about 11am. I only asked for one to be put aside. When I went to pick it up they said they had none left.

Got one in Macclesfield for the bargain price of £99.00 - thanks OP. I had kept going in store checking to see if the price had dropped from £149. Was in work today but rang up and they put one aside.

WTF I just bought this last night heat! But gonna be having words lol

If anyone is in the middlesboro Stockton area the Stockton store still has one! I reserved one from Sunderland and just picked it up! Over the moon with it

Now to watch these "how to add kodi" videos

I got the last one in Bracknell Bagshot road! That's a sainsburys and a tesco deal in one day and that never happens for me!!

I might have found one in Essex! :smiley:

Just got a bloke from Sainsbury's to confirm and call me back (fingers crossed)

Just got one from Orpington - there is one still left on the shelf!!!!

There may be one at Savacentre in Reading (Calcot) tomorrow, bought yesterday for £149,so £50 credit or they can have it back.
I'll update this post if I return it.

In Solihull, none at Marshall Lake store. I picked up one from the Dorridge store 1hr ago, there should still be two left. However they are not on display, you have to ask customer services.

Just picked one up from linlithgow store as none in Livingston, they had two so may be one still left! 99 quid

Managed to get the last one at sainsbury sydenham. Hot hot

Must be my lucky day, this and the wireless hd on the shelf at Sheffield Archer Road. None of these left now, but 1 hard drive left.

I made the mistake of removing anti virus, said reboot and then it proceeded with 181 window updates.

Thank you to the person I saw picking the last one up from Monkseaton - saved me £99 :smiley:

Take a look at the last time this was posted for info on what you're getting
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/acer-revo-one-nettop-intel-celeron-2gb-ram-60gb-ssd-acer-k2-22-monitor-bundle-150-2374691

Looks like it's THIS one, £200 at Amazon. Note this is an odd/discontinued model, it has some upgradeability such as adding another hard drive (but not 2 extra hard drives despite having the space, it doesn't have the 3rd sata connector apparently)

Monitor specs
Super hot price.

If anybody in South London wants one, I just saw one in the TV aisle at the Lee Green branch (SE12 8PZ). The shelf tag said £150 still, but it's probably wrong

Anyone checked the Leicester Fosse Park? Do they know over the phone?

It's financial year end time for JS soon...here come silly season deals!

WOW! Spec on the box - Ultra HD 3840 x 2160

Phone (01625) 532360

Anyone tried portswood Southampton?

Got the last one in Liverpool (Woolton)

None in Liverpool (Knotty Ash)

I've just picked one up from Sainsburys Archer Road in Sheffield - it's still listed on the edge of the shelf at 149.99 but when I asked they scanned it and found it was 99.99. Now, for those knowledgeable in such things, I bought this as my telly got nicked a while ago. I rarely if ever watch anything live these days generally using catch up so I can watch when I want to. Will this work as a replacement small telly for my wants? As far as I can see it should but are there any gotchas I should note?

Could someone give me a pointer as to a good 2 or 3 Tb drive to put in this please?

Nor any in the Thorpe St Andrews store either

I won't check my local. Theyve gotta sell that tablet from 2012 first before they consider stocking something like this!

A DAB radio is as adventurous as they can get!

Picked one up from Chester and one from Whitchurch branches for work. They are ticketed as £149.99 but go through till at £99.00. Great deal. Only room for one on the shelves so I don't know if there is any more stock in the back.

Thanks, got the last one in Whitley Bay. When I called there was one left in team Valley and Washington

Mines a right pain (previous deal) black screen from standby is an pain, I have to remove the hdmi in and out to bring the screen up...any idea's

Dont have it in my local =(

Man I hate this site, picked up last one from Milton Keynes hub

Got em in Norfolk £99

Thanks for saving me the trip, none on brazengate either, just phoned.

Haha wasn't that straightforward, went to Heaton Park first and the girl phoned round a few stores, Macclesfield 2 and Wilmslow 1 in stock (~ 1:30)

Does anybody know if this handles h.265 and if it has a 7.1 passthrough?

None @ Norwich Longwater.

Edit.
None @ Brazen Gate or Pound Lane either.

Hotukdeals 0 British Petroleum 3

what model is this

Interesting theory, but not very perceptive for a number of reasons. As I said, it wasn't a slight on the poster of the deal, but just an observation on the many things that are being written on here recently.
It's the same with people that post a deal and then start posting comments complaining that it's either gone cold or hasn't got the heat they think it deserves. We're all in the same boat, we post deals hoping that it's a deal and will benefit others. Some will agree, others won't. It's not personal, it's just individual opinions. I think there are certain people who get a little bit precious if their deal isn't seen as amazing and go off on one. Life is too short at the end of the day

None in Sheffield Archer lane so not Nationwide :disappointed:

Thanks OP bought the last one (Ashton-under-Lyne)

Cracking deal

its national where there is stock
anyone want a monitor :wink:

I have the I3 one, it's not too good until you put an ssd hard drive in it and then it's so fast, would recommend doing the same with this one!

Just picked up the last two from Halifax with a colleague - thanks OP

Might be decent then! Gonna have a look on my way home!

Does anyone know the exact CPU this comes with? A CPU-Z screenshot would be great.

This is a great deal if you can get it. I have just taken a look in Sainsburys Thornhill, Cardiff and they do not have any there. Shame as I do need a new monitor and the PC would be ok as well.

Not good. I'm trying to sell mine on fleabay.

not nationwide. just been to my local Sainsbury and they do not have it.

If there are any Sainsbury's shills monitoring this thread then please read the following:

BRING BACK INTERNET DEALS!

Thank you.

What store? Chances of my local having this? I've not noticed them stocking anything like this and it's a big store

probably wont have in my local.... need a new monitor / pc as well!

This was £150 last week at my local.

I missed this last time and bought something else, great deal for under 100 squid :sunglasses:

Managed to get one of these when they were £150. £99 is an absolute steal.

HOT.....the monitor on its own costs around £75
