    R780-JT01 Samsung - Laptop w/ i5 Processor, 17.3" Display, 4GB Mem $699

    in 2010

    Posted

    This is a great deal on this highly-rated laptop.

    It has 1600x900 display, Intel i5-460 processor, 4 GB of mem, 640gb HD, ATI 1gb dedicated graphics, and so much more.

     

    Check out reviews on-line (on Best Buy, Cnet, etc). It is fast and powerful.

     

    Only drawback is short battery life of less than 3 hours. But most of us have our laptops plugged in the majority of the time anyway.

     

    I almost bought this while searching for a laptop for myself. Got a Thinkpad instead, but just bought this for the wife, since her HP is constantly having problems.

    $25 Gift Certificates for $2 each! 7/27, 7/28 at restaurants.com

    I have thought about getting these, but the restaurants near me add on an 18% gratuity before the discount, and the minimum purchase is $50. Is that how they work everywhere, or just in my town?

    Depends on the restaurant. Most add the 18%, but I usually tip 20%, so that saves me money. If they add the 18%, and the service is poor, they'll hear about it.

     

    Minimum purchase on most that I've seen is $35. I got one that was $50 (Mountain Mike's pizza).

    If you're looking for a laptop with a good graphics card, and most other bells and whistles, for a decent price, I suggest the HP Pavilion dv6-1260se Artist Edition 2 16" Notebook.

     

    If you try to configure one of their other laptops, and upgrade to the graphics card included in this laptop, it will cost you $400 just for that upgrade.

     

    This has AMD Turion X2 ZM-85 2.3GHz / 4GB RAM / 500GB Hard Drive / ATI Radeon HD 4650 / DVD±R/RW / Webcam / 802.11AGN / Vista Home Premium 64-Bit

     

    $879.99 at jr.com, $879 at Beach Camera, and $896.56 at Amazon. There is currently a $50 rebate available, and HP is offering free upgrade to Windows7, when it becomes available.

     

    I bought mine from jr.com. Used my Amex, and got triple rewards points (over $25 worth of points). If you have an Amazon card, and buy from Amazon, you'd get triple points for that, too. But with Amex, you get an extra year on the warranty, for free, and 90 days of protection against loss, theft, or accidental damage.

     

    I live in CA, and would not have paid tax at any of these retailers, and all are offering free shipping.

    After you pay, you can immediately print out the certificates. They will also send you an email with links to them.

     

    I think I have used them before, or maybe it was something similiar. Seems like a great deal, though. There are restrictions. Most places want you to spend at least $35, and many will add an 18% gratuity on the original total of the bill (I usually tip at least that much, anyway). Many are for dinner only, and a few are for weekdays only. But the restrictions for each restaurant are clearly listed.

     

    Hard to go wrong for $2.00 (and since you print it out, no shipping fees)

    Thank you, both. I have looked at more reviews, and maybe the 1200 will be ok. Trying to find something for less than I paid originally, though. I did find the pink 1100 (w/ another printer) for $199, but don't need another printer, and would rather not pay that much. But I guess I could ebay the printer...

     

    Well, the old camera still seems to work, so everything might be ok, after all. It is scratched, and I've ordered a new lens ring (it fell off), but I think it still works.

     

    Can probably wait for xmas deals, and maybe get the 1100 or 1200 for same or less than I paid last year.

    Desperately seeking a good deal on this camera.

     

    I bought one for my wife at Christmas time. It was $169, and that came with a printer.

     

    My son broke it today.

     

    Now, that same package is $399, and it is $299 for just the camera.

    A pink one is preferred, to match the printer, but color is not really important, and we don't need another printer, unless it can be found for less with the printer than w/o it.

     

    This camera has been replaced in Canon's line by a newer one that is apparently not as good (SD1200), so I do not want the newer model. I want the older, hard to find model. I do not want the A1100, either.

     

    My 17-year-old son will be paying for this, so we do want to find the best deal possible.

     

    Thank you!
