Where have you been? I bought my spouse a notebook for Christmas that had a graphics card, 4 gigs of memory, a 320 gig harddrive and full Windows 7 for $429.00 shipped.
Lost in the woods apparently. And not paying as much attention to the laptop ads as I thought I was. Seems at least, I’ve not been looking in the right places...
Ditto - my kids have one each: BestBuy in early November; OfficeDepot in mid-December.
