Compaq Presario C306US 15.4" Widescreen Notebook PC $499.99 after rebates.

 

 

Is this a good deal? I wanted a toshiba satellite but it's not on sale anymore. So I'm thinking of getting a Compaq. I heard some good things and then some bad things. So I don't know what to do.

Yes that's a good deal but I would wait if you can.

I've seen more powerful Dell and Toshiba laptops with a faster CPU for $599. Hopefully there will be some on sale in early 2007. Besides the longer you wait, the more money you can save for your new laptop.

 

One of the best deals was available October 8, 2006 when CompUSA had this Toshiba laptop for $499 after $150 rebate. I even went to the store to buy one but they sold out in 30 minutes!

I was going to get it but now I'm going to wait. Next time laptops are on sale I'm going to get their early because they always run out.

I cannot emphasize this enough. When a laptop is on sale you have to get there early, hours before they open. Otherwise you'll miss out every time.
