I have been holding out ever since I missed the $384 deal. At least I got in on the 8400 $499 deal. Dell finally got me! $445 shipped with tax and lame environmental fee. Damn it! Widescreen gaming goodness, here I come!

This site has some good information. Look in the Gateway forum section. The specs of the machine are good but it is heavy for a tablet and uses 64MB shared video. I played with it in San Diego and the 1024 x 768 res was not high enough for me.

Toshiba M200 series was just released. Has all of those features. Videocard is weak. It is a 32M 5200. Look at TabletPC Buzz for details. Tons of good info in the Toshiba forum section. I don't have time to add any more links. Sorry!

Another option is to check out OneNote. You can download an evaluation copy. OneNote lets you type up your notes in any fashion and then use the mouse to draw lines of various widths and colors etc. You can highlight, synchronize audio notes, bullet, paste in .html, etc. This might be a good...

RipperX2K, My wife brought the scanned BB price tag to the MiraMesa CompUSA......total waste of time. Excuses, excuses, local BB's wouldn't answer phones to verify price and the kicker. The manager told my wife...."I can't make any money if I sell you the drive for that price." No kidding...

Torval and Netma, I just called 1-800-STAPLES with the IM#'s (IM1289314 worked for the Plextor) but the CS rep told me that there were none in stock. Unless they sold 3000 units in one day, they were bs'n me or just didn't have a clue. She even consulted her "manager" and told me to try...

Thx guys, off to Fry's for a replacement.

One of the blades just separated from my 3 month old retail athlon 1.4 cooling fan. I would prefer to replace it with an oem part. Is this an AAVID fan as referenced on amd's website? Or should I just replace it with a better fan? Suggestions please. Merry Xmas to all!

Thank you, smbu! Just got back with my $169 bundle from the San Diego Fry's. Just showed them the scan and off to the register I went. Great deal.

Yes, thank you very much. Now off to Fry's!

I just got back from the San Diego Fry's---the rep said that he would price match if I had a scan of the add from one of the other papers; San Jose, Sacto or Phoenix. Can anyone please put up a scan for us? You guys rock!

I just won too. Took about 15 refresh attempts.
