Looks like a bargain, Fred. :cool
Now do I or don't I? :confused
(The wife would kill me as I already have 2 desktops.):boxing
But I don't have a laptop, hmmmmmm. rolleyes
This a fine pickle of a dilemma. :banghead

BTW Did you follow the recommendation in the review?
"Also I recomend Geek Squad Optimization and standard security package." I recommend he use his spell checker. LOL

I am loving this laptop! Full keyboard with 10 key pad also. And it is light and nice looking...:drool So far Vista is behaving well.

And no about the Geek Squad. When sales Geek tried to tell me about their services and warranty, I politely told him I was not interested in hearing about it. :cool

Well, this thing has 2 cores. Time for some FAH!

Hmm, learning some Vista stuff. UAC is gone, got ReadyBoost running I think.:confused For what it is it is screaming fast!

If you are on a budget and need a laptop, get it.

NO, don't do it!

Any place but BB!

I hear that some retailers are starting to realize $4.50 gas affects shopping first! The discounts are said to be starting soon and the discounts will be deep.

This should follow to TigerDirect and NewEgg and so you will not even have to deal with an attitude at the mall to have toys!
