Alternatively... Office Depot on Black Friday is going to have the legendary $99 HP PC deal... Even comes with moniter and printer... Supposed to save the 3rd world with it, but heck... if you're willing to wait in line. http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Sales/Store/officedepot
Lil what do you all have in laptops for about $800.. or desktop for around that price or between 600 to 800
We've got a ton of pretty sweet deals out there for Black Friday at just about all of the major retail outlets. Check them out. These prices will be better than even our employee pricing. We're gonna be selling a lot of these at nearly break even. http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Sales/Store/compusa/Category/all/Rebates/yes/EarlyBirds/yes/Page/2 http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/ On the notebooks, it really depends on what your requirements are. How big would you like your LCD on your laptop? 14.1", 15.4", 17", 12" tablet? That constitutes about 1/3 of the cost of the unit. What sort of performance are you looking for? Are you looking at gaming? In which case you'd want a decent graphics engine and probably a high-end dual core. Are you just using it as a word processor / music box? In that case, go for one of the more mature chipsets, since they are typically better value. As for the desktop. This is a pretty pimped out machine if you're looking for a everyday workhorse.
