:shocked: Wow! Not bad, especially since no rebates!

 

[CrapHead]

Not bad at all. Only a 14" display but definately a nice price.

 

[allisolm]

Good deal and shipping for me to FL shows as only $9 and change.

 

[Joemonkey]

that IS a nice price, especially since no integrated graphics... damn who wants to loan me $400???

uh i thought radeon express igp was integrated graphics?

 

[uhohs]

yeah, it is integrated.

 

[Nick5324]

4200RPM HDD hurts, but $400 with no rebates and fairly cheap shipping makes for a good deal.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

so is this a decent deal? I dropped ours laptop last week and need a new one.

 

[jjmIII]

Where are the lcd specs? Is it widescreen??
EDIT: I see its 14 Widescreen now .

[harpy82]

anyone has a closer view of this laptop. hardly can see how it looks like.. (i know i shouldn't complain for a $400 laptop)

 

[codeyf]

Co-worker has the one that was at Compusa a couple weeks back. He paid $479 @ Frys. Same ram, no dvd burner, but a 80gb hard drive and a 3300+ proc.

I think it's pretty nice. Seems pretty solid. He's really happy with it so far.

For $400, it's a good deal. With no rebates involved and cheap shipping, it's a GREAT DEAL.

Does Frys offer any sort of extended warranty? I never like 1 yr warranties on laptops since you can't just go online and order a replacement part for them.

Buy with Amex to double warranty.

 

[codeyf]

Now says, "Call for availability".

Some Visa and MC do too.

Got the 3300+ version from Frys for $479. It's pretty solid and the 5.4lbs isnt that bad either/
BTW the sempron battery life sucks a little bit. I'm planning on doing a Turion MT swap with mine but it looks like there's a lot of work involved.

 

[DaGeek]

price now $649, big jump no longer worth the $$$

what kind of battery life are you getting?

Browsing, taking notes with wireless on, brightness all the way down, i get about 2.5 hours.

About 2 hours on the 6 cell. I have RMClock running too at the lowest voltage possible when idling, brightness down too. Perhaps it's because I have an old stock one...when I picked up the laptop the battery wear level according to notebook hardware monitor is 33%
