The best deal I have seen was a $650 Office Depot deal with $2500+ & 256MB & Office '03 S&T

My sister's boyfriend tried to get in on the BB $600 Toshiba one. Out of stock though. He instead got an $800 HP one. Both were prices after all the MIR BS that may or may never come in.

hey it was probably me originaly intending to by one of these...

Anyway...ended up buing a HP one (Wally didnt have in stock and wife wanted one NOW ...and the HP (ze4805, compusa) seems to be MUCH better. ($899 ater MIR).... it has AMD Mobile 2800+ (!), 192MB ram, 60 (!) GB HD and some mobile Radeon card, wireless G NIC, DVD, CD-RW and basically everything is better than the walmart one. Not THAT bad for $899 after MIR. Especially love the 60 G HD.

The walmart one still sounds/sounded like a a good deal for some low-end entry level lappy without bells/whistles.
