Be *very* careful with those. When I was looking for this machine,
I discovered that the Acer one with the spec I wanted (Timeline 8xxx
of some kind) had a BIOS so buggy that nobody had yet managed to get
Linux to suspend and resume correctly (either to RAM or to disk).

Not saying that's the case with the one you're talking about, but
if they can screw it up that badly for one machine, I'm sure they can
do it for others.
