As to the 2GB, I was referring to the price point. $249 will get you a 4GB Acer.

Memory is just one thing to judge a computer on. You can get an Acer for $199, but that has a regular harddrive (which may or may not be an advantage depending on your POV); that will mean that you will loose the quick boot feature (again, if that is important to you... having more built in storage might be instead).
But we also need to judge the quality of the screens, the keyboard, the quality of the parts, etc. Frankly unless you absolutely have to, shopping on price point alone in the sub $300 area could be a costly mistake.
