Warm? Maybe even HOT! Acer TM2428 notebook centrino- $620 and less!

[lumlum1013]

went to Staples @ Leslie/eglinton - they said OOS didn't bother check for me.
went to Staples @ Ellesmere/Victoria PK - 2 left, and i bought 1 of them.

Price is @ $649.85

I bought one at that price and will get the price adjusted tomorrow.

I was able to take a quick peek @ tomorrow's informal flyer
(8x11 letter format) that was laying around carlessly on their counter.
so the price is $599 after $50USD rebate and free printer.

so if you buy this unit tomorrow @ $649 - $20 - $20 - $20 = $590
($20 off $200 coupon code #59223)
$590 + 14% tax = $673
$673 - $55 (USD rebate) = $618.00

$618 for a Pentimum M Centrino, i think this is a hot deal....
but the bad thing is this is only 256mb ram (no biggie can alwayz upgrade)
and 40gig HDD.

I really think this is a good deal for ppl who only uses this for
compatibility, browsing, MS office, etc...nothin' hardcore.

Here are some snaps i took w/ my crappy phone to confirm,,,

You can use max. two $20 off $200 coupons. Although I have used three coupons before, but they were not all three $20/$200 coupons.

Sometime you can con the CSR to apply three $20/$200, but most times, they don't want to override the system.

How does this compare to the Dell's for about the same price in terms of quality (when on sale)? For $599 you can get the Inspiron with better specs. I'm asking because I'm in the market for a cheap notebook.

you are comparin' PENTIUM M CENTRINO to a Celeron......?

Maybe is the website...

It's not that much of a difference, is it?

I think Celeron 1.5GHz w/ 512MB ram >= Pentium M 1.7 w/ 256MB RAM
