Went with my GF and she bought this one on Sunday, open box at Best Buy. Not a scratch on it. Was $599 with a $50 GC thrown in for open box status.
We bought the $250 3-year warranty which we plan to return tomorrow, so they took another $100 off the computer.
So she should get it for $499, with $50 GC + Tax + Reward Points. Good deal??
She'll just be using it for WORD, surf the NET and watch movies, take on trips.
