I'm interested in the following...

CC
Acer AS5102WLMI, Turion64 X2 TL-50, 1gb, 120gb, dvdrw, XP-MCE, 15.4” ----------------- $599.99

STAPLE-S
Toshiba A105-S4224, Core Duo T2050, 512mb, 100gb, dvdrw, XP-MCE, 15.4” ---------------- $699.98

What is their video card info? all integrated graphics?
Does "integrated graphics" mean that they dont have a separate video card?

and does anyone have more details about these 2 laptops? such as: do they have bluetooth? which battery life is better?

Thank you!

Pretty much anything in this price point has crappy integrated graphics.

From the little i've seen the AND64 and the Intel core duo are pretty much comparable on all levels (battery, performance, etc), with the intel very slightly edging out the AMD. But AMD prices are better, and they are 64 capable.

exactly how much is your time worth, anyway?

You need to go and cluck in this topic,

I don't think that taking the Dell E1505 vs. the Averatech for example is a fair comparison. The Dell starts off at 6.18 lbs. and the Averatech is about 4 lbs. I'm thinking about getting the Averatech but I'm wondering about its reliability. Has anyone had one for a while and would like to comment on it?

hey guys, i found a 100$ off coupon for notebooks with amd turion processors at office max, i'm not sure yet if it will work for black friday but that will definately, be an awesome deal. 499$ for a 12 inch core duo with 100gb's awesome.

Most coupons are YMMV depending on the cashier and manager's discretion. I'd rather go in with a coupon that may work or not, rather than none at all. So post it, and we'll let you know the results...

t1pid7 said:I agree with some of you that there is no good deal for a laptop based on the ads. I can get a 17" or 15" at Dell right now for $851/$848 just through the instant discounts and ecoupon from another site. Question: will Dell offer more discounts before christmas?

The closest Dell to the Averatech is the XPS m1210..The BASE model is 1199 with no DVDRW and integrated intel graphics. Plus battery sticks out the back to give the illusion of being smaller.

if you remember the best buy Toshiba for 499 around august with the 100$ off coupon, some people got it to work and that coupon said discount taken from original price too, so it might be worth a try.

How's Staples' $399 laptop compare to BB's? Staples's one has 64 bit capability and it is an high end CPU.
and BB has core solo which is better in battery life and performance is about the same. This is not a crappy celeron M by the way. In my area, if you are not planning to camp out, you can forget about BB.
