Laptop deals on Boxing Day?

[djray]

I'm looking to buy a laptop this boxing day... preferably one with a DVD-RW...

what's the best places that offer good deals for them usually... i've never shopped for electronics on boxing day before!

[western]

I am in the same boat, so any advice would be helpfull.
Also, does anyone know if dell does anything for boxing day???

[GenericGuy]

Not sure if Dell will have any boxing day deal, but Best Buy has a good price on a Compaq Laptop with DVD-RW for Boxing Day. It's on thier cover page.

I am in the same boat. I am wondering if IBM's epp site will have a sale on Boxing day?

[amu_27]

Same here

[Nhiem]

Man don't almost all laptops have a DVD+RW drive now-a-days? O.o.

[eliteblaze]

find a ibm t42 with a dvd rw and tell me how about it costs ;)

IBM EPP had a deal on a t42 with radeon 9600 1.8Ghz 512mb 60gb for 1899. Went in one day it was so hot, shouldn't have hesitated arggg

It was like 3 days ago, for IBM's EPP holiday special.

In my opinion the BestBuy "Compaq Presario V2030US Pentium M 710 1.4GHz Laptop" is surely an old crap sitting around, although its still listed at $1799 on BB & FS web site <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&dept=0&sku_id=0926INGFS10050716&catid=&newdeptid=20001# </a>. Pentium M 1.4 GHz came out almost more then 1 1/2 year ago. The latest laptops are 1.8 to 2 Ghz or over centrinos. One can usually find Pentium M 1.4 GHz laptops on <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>ebay</a> for $900

i'm more upset about the T42p 2.0gz/1gb/128mb ATI FireGL/ dvdrw/bluetooth/high capa battery/15'' flexview uxga that was 2799 a month ago :(

The Pentium-M 710 was only released in a few weeks ago, which along with the 14" widescreen LCD clearly indicates that the laptop is brand new model. Though I would doubt that it would go for virtually half price (unless it's only like 1 per store).

I agree, the CPU is probarbly the newer one with higher FSB, but, yet, its the slowest of centrino chips...
whats bad in buying a Dell 600m CENTRINO 1.4 laptop of <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>eBay</a> http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6729312462
Its got sold for $900 Cdn...FS & BB always every other week have $400 off, off their over inflated prices. So, the boxing day deal is nothing exclusive.

5 of them restocked afte rthat but went out before I could finalize the purchase :(

if they restock again I'll buy it for sure

Where did you see such a deal, because if they get more I'll surely be interested
