RossMAN Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 How is one of them widescreen? What are the model numbers? How early did you get in line at Best Buy? How many people were ahead of you?

lovebears65 Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 I got one laptop , they had 40 @ our best buy. I am very happy. Plus we upgraded the ram they had 256 in it and for 79 dollars i got another 256 installed! not bad
saygt Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 had the #2 ticket, but lost interest when i checked it out first hand and realized that i can get something soo much better for just $150 more. and it wasnt wide screen, the one at this best buy anyway. needed something that can handle 3d apps anyway!
c-prompt Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 what laptop is "so much better" but only 150 more? :)
Brad Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 had the #2 ticket, but lost interest when i checked it out first hand and realized that i can get something soo much better for just $150 more. and it wasnt wide screen, the one at this best buy anyway. needed something that can handle 3d apps anyway!exactly. while for some people the $499 laptop was a great deal, i personally wouldn't have paid $399 for it. many of us on this forum got deal-of-the-year quality deals on dell laptops a month or two ago. we paid around $750 for $1500 laptops that blow these $499 models out of the water. so for anyone who missed out on the BB deal, pay attention to this site and most likely you will find a nice deal before christmas, and you'll be glad you missed out on the BB deal (well maybe not glad, but you get the point, lol)
p3rsian Posted November 26, 2004 Author Posted November 26, 2004 ok well it doesnt have wifi ... but it says wifi ready do i dunoo what that means, maybe needs a card or something. im going to get a pcmcia wireless card for 8 dollars at best buy right now. the screen is wide screen 15.4" formatting it also right now the ram deal was too expensive so im gonna get ram for 40 dollars online. i was in line at 1am and recieved the 35th computer... so that tells you how the line was. ill post more info soon
Pliablemoose Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 They're fine for what they are, definitely not a desktop replacement or an ultraportable. We bought similarly spec'd notebooks for our kids, nothing you'd do intensive 3D gaming on, but great for a portable web box, homework, etc. With upgrading the kids to notebooks, I will have 2 extra 15" LCD's, I need some PCI VGA cards & I can have 4 mismatched LCD's hooked up to my box;)
saygt Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 ha i wish my parents had bought me lcd monitors when i was a kid
warlock110 Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 maybe i should start a topic on my dell laptop and how it blows most of these 500 out of the water hahaha. (and yeah i love my education discount)
c-prompt Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 One laptop was $500 out the door, one was way more than $500. I don't see why you guys are trying to compare the two.
RossMAN Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 maybe i should start a topic on my dell laptop and how it blows most of these 500 out of the water hahaha. (and yeah i love my education discount)Sure go ahead and start it in the GottaTalk Lounge forum.
p3rsian Posted November 27, 2004 Author Posted November 27, 2004 now all i need is pc2700 laptop memory right ?
saygt Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 That's odd that your bb was handing out the higher end satellite. It sounds like the one they were selling at BB here for 890 after rebate. boo
