    i plan on purchasing my m6805 today but i am wondering if i should wait until say june, july, or august for the best deal on a notebook computer.

    i know the deals at best buy for the m6805 will be ending may 1st (pretty sure as i have read this elsewhere) so i could be missing out on my chance @ 1299 for this one. but i am wondering if in the summer there will be better prices.

    i really dont like waiting but if its worth it i suppose ill wait. im not in TOTAL need for it right now, however i could use the mobility for a presentation i will have to present later on this month. so in that respect i guess i need it.

    what should i do?

    ARGHHH. i just found out the 150 mail in rebate expired today. i am quite upset. [ :(!]

    If it expires today, don't you still have time to buy it?
    If so @ 1149 that would probably be a great deal.

    well it expired yesterdy, 04/03.

    original its 1549.99
    -150.00 best buy mail in rebate (ended 04/03)
    -100.00 Emachine mail in rebate (not ended yet)
    would have been 1299.99 after all the rebates. now it will be 1449. what a bummer. i suppose ill just wait until the summer.

    The rebate has been on one week off the next for a couple of months now. I would suspect that it will be back in a couple of weeks.
