Acer and HP appear to be Costco's favorite netbook suppliers, since they also happen to be the cheapest and mostly widely sold in this space. The Acer Aspire One (532h-2268) deviates from the Acer Aspire One (AO532h-2326) slightly, in that the 532h-2268 model has a smaller battery (48Wh instead of 59Wh) and hard drive (160GB instead of 250GB). These downgrades are relatively inconsequential, as Costco drops the price of this particular one to $300  and throws in a 2-year warranty. On top of that, you get the hardware changes that make the new Acer Aspire One series better than its predecessors, including a bigger keyboard and Intel's latest "Pine Trail" parts
