Guest episodic Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Budget as close or below 600 something $ as you can get. Something like the 650$ laptops that were recently sold would be great. I don't believe dell charges for sales tax in my state. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 episodic - Are there any features that you definitely need? Such as a minimum HD size, what kind of CD/DVD drive, wireless networking, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest episodic Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 episodic - Are there any features that you definitely need? Such as a minimum HD size, what kind of CD/DVD drive, wireless networking, etc? No. I'd like a repuatable brand (compaq, toshiba, etc) - no unbranded laptops. . . Bare min of a CD Drive 256 megs of ram (as long as I can expand later) 20-30 gigs harddrive space, I'd prefer a larger screen (nothing insane - just not like the little 12 in itty bitty ones you see). I can add wireless with a card later if I want it. I'd like an ethernet port, a modem port, standard ports, and usb. I think that would do me. I prefer the Athlon Mobiles as well - but will be ok with a celeron - and an added bonus if it has mobile ATI graphics (again nothing extreme - but I would not mind occasionally playing a few lower end games.)

Guest Unregistered Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Does anyone know if one will come out on the 4th of July?

RossMAN Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Unfortunately you're about a month too late. Last month, several stores sold the loaded Compaq Presario 2199US for $649 for $649 (Circuit City) after rebates. Within your price range, you're probably looking at a 2.8GHz Celeron, 1.4.1" XGA, 256MB RAM, 30GB HD, DVD-ROM, and integrated graphics. In case you weren't aware, we have a Hot Deals Laptops category. There is a good possibility that Best Buy, Circuit City or CompUSA will have a "loss leader" laptop on sale the 4th of July weekend. If I see any great sub $700 laptop deals in the near future, I will gladly notify you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
