No worries... I just figured it was a smokin' deal for a lappy with 1GB of RAM and a mobile processor with a 1MB L2 cache.

If you're interested in Dell down the road, give me a holler. I get a stupid discount through the office... we've been Dell SMB customers FOREVER.

The discount I get well exceeds what's shown there as a web discount ;)

Have you looked at the Dell.ca site lately? The Vostro business line of notebooks have XPPro as does the low end Inspiron...

Fawk.......I didn't realize you were still looking. I had heard of a great deal(they are definately sold out now) for I believe it was a Toshiba notebook from Futures*** that sells for $1699 and they had it on their boxing dale sale online for $799. My friend picked up two and sold one, and I did see the laptop. I will keep the word out for you as I have several friends in the field of puter sales and programming.
Another option is trying the Dell Financial Services Canada website. They have Dell PC & laptop returns (some having never been used at all) You can catch some killer deals there, esp. this time of year.

Most of them still have at least a year warranty (In some cases as long as three years) for a pretty decent price.

Good luck

ive been looking since I first started the post.. I never posted that i actually found one, so the need for a laptop is still valid!
