Laptop purchase question

[RgrPark]

I don't keep track with laptop prices cuz I don't own one.
However, I know Dell usually has very good sale once every few weeks and i wanna know how good the current deals are right now.

My good friend is moving away and I want to buy her a laptop as a parting gift. She will be going to school and is only going to be using the laptop to write papers, email and surf. She has a pentiumI or II at best right now which has all sorts of problems...

She will be leaving in about 2 weeks...Is today a good day to buy? I was looking at the inspiron 2200 for about 550ish bucks.
help me out geek brothers!

Specs on the 2200?

Dell Home has an Inspiron 1200 (1.3/256/30GB/combo) for $499 with free shipping and no sales tax in most states.

Wrong.

Dell Home collects sales tax in some states.

Dell Small Business collects sales tax in ALL STATES (except for OR and NH).
