Given all the bucks I spend on A/V gear I have to economize somewhere. So I set a ~$1K limit for my laptops. It's pretty amazing what that amount buys in todays market.
Over the w/e Best Buy had the following deal. Compaq R3240 for $1330 with $280 in rebates. Final cost was $1050.
What did that buy?
2.0 GHz AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor, 60 GB hard drive, 512 MB RAM, DVD+RW/CD-RW, 15.4-inch WXGA LCD, built-in NVIDIA GeForce4 440, integrated 10/100 Base-T ethernet, 54g 802.11b/g wireless LAN, a 5-in-1 Memory Reader, FireWire, USB, etc, etc ,etc...........
I can't build a desktop for that ......... :wink:
