I just ordered my laptop; to heck with Black Friday.

I'm not going to wait in line. bfads.net had a link to a really cheap Dell notebook, the Vostro 1000. It comes with a 120GB hard drive (with Windows XP Home preinstalled), AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-53 (1.7GHz/512KB), 8x DVD±RW, 802.11g minicard, and a 1280x800 15" screen. Including tax and free shipping, it's under $500. (I also ordered 2GB of memory, shipping separately, for under $100 total, since 1GB is likely to slow me down.)

No mail-in rebates necessary -- but it's unquestionably a business expense, which will act as a bit of a rebate when I file my taxes.

Congrats, you'll soon be in business! Will they wait to ship until you're back in ATL?

MattyO might be interested in your deal, since he's also looking for a laptop right now.

Sounds like a pretty damn good deal. Might want to share that link for everyone else, too. :)
