WIth xmas coming up it's time to find the good deals. My brother in law would like a laptop for xmas and I haven't bought one in years so I am a little out of style on whats hot. Basically it will be for work related activites and daily use. He wants one with decent battery life so I'm assuming I want an M processor??? he would also like 512ram but HD space isn't that important. Does anyone know of any deals out there for under 700. Thanks

Yes, you want Centrino / Pentium M for the best battery life. Celeron M has some of the power-saving disabled so it isn't as good.

Check the Hot Deals forum or GottaDeal.com for Dell deals & coupons.

get the 512mb version at Walmart, the 256mb versions are scams though, so don't get your pockets picked at
