If you can wait 1 month, the "Black Friday" sales, (day after Thanksgiving in the US), always seem to have extra cheap laptops. Most will be "door crashers", where a superstore has only six laptops at $300. Some deals might even be available online - last year there were some that were available online on Thursday to avoid the crowds on Friday. There will be plenty of rumor threads about those sales starting soon as details start leaking out.

i never bother with those. usually the stores have like 5 in stock, but 300 people lining up outside the night before just to get one

doesnt seem like worth the time or effort

Newegg? Unless you don't want a netbook.

Last year I got a $300 Acer laptop at CompUsa. Only five of us at the door at the opening bell, and the on-line inventory said the store had six available. But once we got in, the employees insisted, with a smile, that they only had three.

Guess that means I'll be going back to CompUSA again this year!
