A Compaq Presario laptop for $300 after $100 in mail-in rebates. I mean, it isn't a powerful monster of a laptop... it's a basic laptop, I should be able to do anything on it, exept play games. Does this look like a good deal? Should I buy it? I can't decide. :dabs:
yes. i'll send you some money if you buy me one of them $100 ones too :smilie4:
best buy has a laptop for 250 but the reviews are bad. i got my eyes on a camera this year
It's crazy, it's 300 dollars after rebates without Vonage. And, if you buy a 12 month subscription to Vonage, you get the laptop for only $99! :O
I dont want Vonage though, but still, a laptop with 1.6ghz, 512mb ram, 15.4" screen, wifi built in, and a dvd-rw drive... for 300 bucks... seems pretty nice.
What day is it on?
Is it racism to refer to it in that term?
This sunday.
....
.....
I just had to put this in the Lounge, didn't I? :dabs:
Hell with it, I'm buying the laptop...
I'ma get that 32" LCD HDTV and make that my computer monitor.
The damn thing is only $370 after rebate ($150).
I gotta finish my game plan by tomorrow.
I can't spend too much cos I just bought a Bowflex so I'm hurtin' in the money department.
Perfect.
Staples has a 400GB external for $100 after Easy-Rebate.
1GB USB flash drives for $8.
I'll have to hurry after I get the LCD. That shit is on the other side of town (Virginia, actually).
It depends.Quote:

Yeah I have a deep computer desk but damn man you are right about the resolution.Quote:

It sucks ass. I was trying to double up (hdtv and computer monitor) but I guess that won't work.:dry:
1360 x 768 @60 Hz won't cut it.
I relented I bought a 360 on Dell's website.
With all the discounts, the Premium system was $307 with free next-day shipping.
I'll get Gears Of War from Buy.com for $45 (incl shipping) with Google Checkout.
I saw a number of deals tomorrow like
The Outfit - $10
COD 2 Game Of The Year Edition - $20
Gun, Quake 4, THAW, Full Auto, Perfect Dark 0 - $17 each
Condemned, Amped 3, NBA Live '06 - $18 each
edit: CompUSA was open 9pm - midnight tonight
It seems the Dell deal for the 360 is gone now. It initially gave a $60 discount immediately. Wifey was laughing at me cos I wouldn't click 'Submit Order'. She kept saying, "Just buy the damn thing and stop thinking about it."
Now I'm glad I did since they took the discount off the table now. Micro Center had it $100 off....after rebate. I paid $7 more and I get it tomorrow through UPS.
Staples
SanDisk 1 GB SD card - $15, 2 GB - $30
Sandisk Cruzer 1 GB USB flash drive - $8 (after $7 easy rebate)

Wish we had similar thing over here,how does the rebate thing work?

Usually reseepit + rebate form + UPC.Quote:

I have never been cheated with Easy Rebates.
