    Compaq Presario CQ60-210US, $350 AER

    Yeah, I just ordered one last night after I couldn't get the deal at Staples. (I don't know how many my local store had, but they all got gone before I got there.) I wasn't in the market for a laptop when the Staples sale started, but my old laptop started acting squirrely just a couple of days...

    Report in if you are still running Skt A chip

    I'm running a Duron 850 mHz. Why? Cause it won't die, and I don't need anything more for what I do with that computer (web surfing, email, etc.). If the motherboard and cpu would both die at the same time, then I'd build something better and faster, I suppose. But I can't justify tossing a...
