It's tempting...
I was looking for a notebook to browse the internet and watch movies on while travelling & in bad weather during camping, etc...
I couldn't find any really good deals like a few months ago when all those Duron 1GHz & Celeron 1GHz with DVD drives were going for $799 area.
I looked at alot of the low cost ones which always run about $1000 and decided to screw it and pay a few hundred more and get a really nice one (probably the Compaq Presario 2800).
The perfect one for me would be less than $800, be decent speed, have 256MB (or be easily and cheaply expanded to that or higher) and have a DVD and at least a 13" screen. Not finding that, so I think I'm going to go for the 2800.
