I can't find it on the Best Buy website, but here is a description at the acer website.

Best Buy online shows it as Chromebook (Chrome operating system):
<http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Acer+-+11.6%26%2334%3B+Chromebook+-+2GB+Memory+-+320GB+Hard+Drive+-+Iron+Gray/7098526.p?id=1218829108571&skuId=7098526> 


It still might be a good deal if one has an external CD/DVD and
can wipe the system to install Windows 7.  Lacking that, they
also show several 11" class Windows systems less than $350.
