    There are some better deals, but not many.

    I can see maybe in Augest the laptop being cheaper for back to school sales, but not any time more soon than that.

    Laptops will always get cheaper. However I tend to nickle and dime everything. And I've been comparing it to the HP $400 off, Best Buy/CCity sales etc. Sony Re-furbished items and even Dell Refurbished items with 15% off and the Dell 30% off coupons rock everything else.

    In fact the 30% setup that I built was cheaper and better than the Refurbed Dell/15% off.

    I just could not get the same setup as on the Dell with any other manufacturer. The only drawback is that the Dell 14" tends to be heavier than other 14"s.
