Yeah, I’ll second the dell laptops. I got mine just after Christmas when they were doing the mega coupons.

2ghz, 1 gig ram, dvd burner, 128meg video, 60 gig drive, 15.4 display, 1100 after shipping.

Just search google for “dell coupons”. I spent about 15 minutes searching different sites and managed to find $500 off $1500.
