Good deal, close to the sams club deal with 13.1 screen for $100 less. Only if you don't care the desktop CPU used in this laptop depletes battery in one hour...

Don't forget to order through eBates.com to save another 2% ($25.98) which should cover shipping.

For anyone who is curious about this laptop, here are some good other KDS Pentium III threads worth reading:
Poll: Good deal? KDS Valiant 6480IPTD P3-800 20GB-HD laptop for $1329

Hot: KDS PIII 800 laptop with 13.3TFT/8X DVD/128M RAM for $1199.98 @SamsClub

Laptop - pIII 800, DVD, 13.3" TFT, 10GB, 8mb Video, 64mb Ram $1199.00--CompGeeks, not SAMS

My only concerns are:
1) KDS brand, not sure of the build quality of KDS laptops.
2) Weight (something I could personally care less about as long as it's a loaded laptop for cheap).
3) The video RAM, I heard there is no actual VRAM that it borrows from the system RAM?
4) Not sure if this is a desktop P3 or a mobile P3 chip with speedstep technology.

Other than that, it looks like you're getting a loaded laptop for cheap.
