For 512MB onboard at sale (+ wifi fdd touchscroll <56k conexant> nic ...), now c$2K, I settled on a Compaq P4 grunter (2.66-2.8 GHz) from Powerstore - have you checked them out?

I am going to Europe though, not the US and am not even going through there. AFAICT it is actually around $100 cheaper here! In fact, the RAM upgrade I am looking at doing (getting a cheaper laptop and adding 256meg) is HEAPS cheaper here. The prices I could find for ACER 240/250 256meg 266 RAM were from 199 Euros up. I have been quoted $146 NZD at nojcom.co.nz, so I am probably coming to the end of the search I feel!
As we are shortly going overseas we want to get a laptop.
I'd have thought that you would do better buying your lappie overseas.
Cheers for everyones help and advice.
