How odd. It seems to have disappeared - or I just can't find it either. It was there all morning. I was watching it waiting for some kind of confirmation (the scan) before posting it here. I hope there's nothing wrong with the deal.

 

[Anghang]

nice!...hope to be able to get in on this

 

[RossMAN]

Yep it appears it was deleted, I also searched for "R4000" in Deal Discussion forums, nothing.

I would definitely stick more RAM in it. Other than that, it looks fine for a basic use laptop. You're not going to get a lot for $400.

 

[laidbacklarkin]

Dont forget tax on $729 AND Shipping charges which is about $40..in CA, that itself is around $110..not to mention the additional $8 for recycling fee..and suddenly it does not look all that hot

 

[richierich69]

Do I have to go to the store and order there, or is this through Compusa.com tomorrow?

 

[Hiruko]

Yeah, I'd really like to get my hands on this deal, but the only way is if I can order it online.

 

[tfinch2]

Is this deal for just tomorrow or is it going to be all week long? I really want to get in on this, but I don't want to get it unless I get my new job, and I won't know until Monday...

 

[lotust]

LOL that laptop has 4 too many rebates ...

I only count 3, 2 if you get the printer...

 

[HFC]

Is this the Athlon 64 based Sempron or the old XP based Sempron?

maybe r4000z?

 

[Afro000Dude]

How much better would the $100 upgrade to the A64 3200+ be? Ebaying the printer would likely cover half of it, or the memory upgrade.

[clipperfixer]

Can anyone post a good link at Compusa for this? I have searched by SKU and by model number and tried changing the model number, tried Compusa's business site. I can't find any reference to this at all.
Any help would be appreciated.
