4. For that price
Edited on Tue Oct-04-05 10:44 PM by alcibiades_mystery
you shoulda gone for a centrino processor and held out for 80 GB...

OK, you'd have to go about $200 higher for the centrino and the 20 extra GB.

13. You should have gone with "Anus laptops".
http://www.anuslaptops.com

Mark my words... no other brand even comes close to performance and customer satisfaction.
