Hey guys, did a search and didn't see anyone post this yet..except for a person selling in the forums.

Seems pretty good deal for the price. And applying the coupons? make it pretty warm. Just the laptop doesn't have DDR2 ram and no 5200rpm+ HD.

but for those ppl that enjoy the fancy things, comes with remote and earbud headphones..honestly..haha, these things shouldn't be that big of a deal =)
but up to you!

Oh, i think i played with one of these before and the build wasn't too strong.
Plastic of course and seems like it can crack near the touchpad region.

But this may be a different model if i can remember properly

This is the old line correct? I remember playing with this one and it didn't seem as sturdy and polished as the new line. Specs seem good though

Hey, that's what i think too..FS,staples,BB seems to be clearing all their last year's laptops lately.
SO wouldn't be unusual if this was old line..

This is hot. The dv1000 seems to be a very, very popular laptop lately.

Tried 2 different postal codes in GTA, both out-of-stock online

Is this a better deal @ 999.85?

Same model at same price:

Smaller HD (60gb vs 80gb) but bigger screen (15.4)

oops...my bad...eyes getting old, switched the 1 & 4 around

so would the DV4150ca be a better deal @ 1199? :)

Apple and orange, which one is better?
It all depends on what you need the laptop for. I own the DV1xxx series and loved it! Screen is perfect, but at the same time still under 5.4 lbs.

Anyways, this 1199 deal (DV14xx) is a good deal.
