Windows 7 Laptop Deals
I ran into Joel at BB and he was looking for a cheap Windows 7 laptop. I told him I'd keep an eye out and here's what I found with a quick search.
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=13029688 If you choose the first laptop on the list, you get it plus you get an additional Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade for an existing computer for $447 total. Not bad. Or just get the laptop, alone, for $399. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=12456201 Be sure to go to bing.com and type in, "stereo walmart" and you can get 10% cash back off your purchase from Walmart. Or here's one for $330 that you can pick up at BB. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+...=1218122295102 I couldn't get bing to offer any cashback for BB though. It was giving 5% earlier this week. |
The BB link sends me to my empty shopping cart.

Woops. Fixored.

Great deal on an Xbox 360. $100: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/new...deal_confirmed
That article also says that there will be a laptop for under $300. |
Actually, that's an xbox 360 arcade for normal price ($199), but you get a $100 gift card. Sure, you get $100 of free stuff, but you still gotta plop down $199 on the deal. And there was a rumor going around that its only going to be 5-10 per store, not the whole inventory of 360 arcades.

The Lenovos are awesome. I love my S10.

I'd get this one:
Lenovo IdeaPad Y550 - 4186CTO, Intel Core 2 Duo processor T6600 (2.20GHz), 15.6" HD Wide LED, 4GB RAM, 320GB, SuperMulti DVD Recordable (Tray type), nVidia Geforce G 210M graphic card with 512MB memory, 802.11 a/b/g/N, 1.3 webcam, Dolby® Home Theater audio and a subwoofer, 6-in-1 card reader, Multitouch pad, VeriFace™ face-recognition software, Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), 6 Cell Battery, 1yr Warranty » for $629 at Lenovo(IBM ThinkPad) It could handle gaming and anything else you throw at it. It's too bad it's got a 5400 RPM HDD but that can always be upgraded down the road. |
Damn... laptops have finally gotten pretty affordable. How does Apple justify $3000 for their nicer laptops?
|
Well, you could spend $3k on a nice Dell too (albeit with double the power of the Apple model).
But yeah, the low-end laptops (and netbooks too) have really come down significantly. The cheap-ass Apple laptop used to be a good deal at $1000 (i.e. only $200 over priced), but now its double the price of comparable laptops. |
Apple is the "exotic" of the computer world.

My internal mac vs. pc war was won last week by windows 7 and cost. So I ordered a decently spec'ed samsung notebook from bestbuy, when it showed up yesterday it somehow had a .1 ghz slower processser than it was supposed to. I sent that shit back today and I'll see how well this turns out this week.
|
Thanks for this Cody. I went to the bestbuy by scheels and they still had the "sale" price that I saw at the other best buy. The thing I love most about best buy is that they were dying to sell me the insurance for the computer. I couldn't see the benefit of buying a $450 laptop and then spending $265 on insuring it.

Yah, that's pretty retarded. We paid just over half that amount to extend the 1 year warranty on the HP I just bought for our Marketing manager to 3 years Next Business Day (through HP). And that was on a $1K laptop. |
Performance laptops are definitely cheaper these days. My "old" ASUS G50V pretty much can do anything (including run XP!) and it's nowhere near as expensive as a Mac.....

I think you can swap your hard drive into the arcade and it'll be like yours never broke?

I doubt it'll last long, but if you want one its worth a shot. |

http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4764 last one clearance+500g 7200rpm drive+10% off= $700 so far I don't miss my macbook at all |
You got Vista?

I'm downloa.....err buying 7 right now. |
lol. Seems like a good deal despite the Vista. :)
|
I think it was a good deal, I dislike dell in general but the xps models are nice. I'm not digging the leather on the backsidethough so I may replace it with alligator skin or something more pimpin. baby seal fur?
|
Van, is that laptop the Studio XPS? If so, I know two friends that bought that laptop, and after many errors took them back to get the HP equivalent. Let me know how it works for you.
