What I have been doing is browsing www.fatwallet.com for (under hot deals in the forum) at least once a day. If you wait long enough, you will find really good deals like that. Its not just laptops either. Its a great site. There are also other sites out there with the same info (like slickdeals). The same deals usually pass between all of these forums. --mat
