This one is really tempting me.

This one is really tempting me.

I Dell offered 512MB RAM and 15.4" WXGA at this price, then it would be hot.

Tempting indeed.

[indallas]

Yea, I'm tempted too!!

[Guest DigDoug]

mugs, matt - why is this one tempting?? I like the one Dell had during the 10 days of deals (pre dead Toshiba laptop).

Would be great for the kids....get their paws off my laptop....

 

Hmmm....

This sale has been here since last week. I have one. It shipped with a 1.5 GHz processor instead of a 1.4 GHz processor at no cost. But I am returning it because the screen feels too small and is slower than the $349 Inspiron 1200, the one with only 26 coupons available.

All extremely cheap laptops are tempting to me. I'd like to have a new one, but it doesn't have to have great specs because it wouldn't be my main computer. Just need something portable. I'm in the process of rehabilitating my old one to serve that purpose, but I'm having issues getting it to boot from a CD. :)

 

I agree with Ross on the 512 MB of RAM, and I'd settle for a plain old 15" non-widescreen LCD. It'd totally buy it if it had those two things.

 

Edit: Maybe

well, my wife, uses the computer for browsing the web (aka shopping), playing online poker, and basic word processing....

 

for $399. it's a steal!
