kmbrly Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 So this is good "as-is"? (meaning I wouldn't need to upgrade this and upgrade that?) A computer (laptop or desktop) for me is used strictly for "fun". Chat, IM's, GottaDeal, online banking, paying bills online, etc. Not much of a game person, but I do want to be able to watch DVD's. I found a couple others that have tempted me, but one was a Gateway, and I'm not too crazy about having a Gateway, and the other was a Cisnet, but I've never heard of this brand. Hmmmm..... this is very tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Kim, Good: No rebates!!! 512MB RAM - you won't have to upgrade RAM which is nice. Combo CD-RW/DVD you can burn CD's or watch DVD movies WiFi included Bad: Battery life is poor maybe 1.5 hours Verdict: BUY IT! If you have a CitiBank or American Express credit card use that to pay for this laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmbrly Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Is there an expiration date on this offer? (like in the next 48 hours?) I think this is the one I'm going to go with. Will probably order it tomorrow evening Thanks RossMAN, you're the bestest deal finder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 This should expire very soon, it may be gone by tomorrow night. Then you'll have to pay closer to $600. Any reason you can't order tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshiine Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 wow, this is a really good deal. i wish it was later on, so i could budget for it. but i'll keep checking! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only that I'm a procrastinator. hehehe Actually I could go ahead and order it tonight. My sister is repaying $$ that I had loaned her to buy a desktop a while back, so I was just going to use that to buy the laptop. It's almost like getting it for free, because I never really thought she'd pay me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmbrly Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 This has seemed like the sloooooowest 3-5 day shipping!! Shipped on 5/25 from Patrick, NV (origin scan at 12:52pm) Departure scan from San Pablo, CA on 5/26 at 2:23am and then nothing... no updates since then. (I realize there's a weekend and a holiday that delays it a little bit too) Scheduled delivery is 6/2 *sigh* I'm such an impatient procrastinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
