TheHancocks Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 We need a decent laptop ( ) before December! We want a dual core of some sort, a gig of memory and it must be Vista-ready with an upgrade coupon. Is there a local retailer (Best Buy, CompUSA, CircuitCity, etc.) that will be offering them? I haven't managed to find any yet. TheHancocks Melbourne, FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHancocks Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 As little as possible. I'd like less than $800 if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
