I think Dynamism is only competitive in the "directly from Japan" sector of their offerings. But I find their response time AND shipping time not to be the greatest. The EEE I'm typing this on (900) is from Dynamism :) I decided to do some more comparing:

Acer Aspire one $299.99

(copy and paste from their site) "U.S. Estimated Shipping (Insurance cost will be extra) FedEx Standard Overnight: [$69.71] FedEx Priority Overnight: [$86.83] FedEx 2Day: [$37.47] FedEx Express Saver: [$21.82] FedEx Saturday Delivery: [$106.83]" SO ADD INSURANCE STILL and "Hawaiian and Alaskan customers: Add $18 to the U.S. shipping charges (above). Also, please note that the selected shipping method might not be available in these areas." Please note that I did NOT put any ZIP CODE it seems to be a flat rate setup! While $21-$37.47 isn't THAT overrated for FedEx Express it is something you HAVE to add to the price, meaning out the door will AT LEAST be $320+ (with insurance to be added) while I got my 901 shipped from Tigerdirect for $351 shipped! ....why not get the 901 for $349.99 +$2 shipping (yes TWO dollar shipping) http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3981799&CatId=3987 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3981688&CatId=2289 If someone is considering the 900 for $299.99 from Dynamism please note the shipping charges!!
