If you are going to start a thread like this, and someone was going to start it sooner or later -- do some work and go through all the BF threads/ads and post the list of all the lappies w/specs and then we'll start the discussion. Check out the posts on TV and LCDs for example. You gotta put out some effort here to start this thread if you want opinions and results -- members will help you keep it updated as new ads appear...

Personally I think the HP Core Solo @ Bestbuy is the best deal right now.. I really wanted to get my hands on a core2duo but none are on sale at the moment. Do you think I should wait till a regular sale or is this the best it will get in the next few months?

I say the BEST is the Averatec at OM. Its the only lappy listed that is priced well below normal prices. All of the others are only incrementally cheaper than they would be on any given weekend "blowout sale". This laptop is as fully featured as can be expected even on a high end laptop. Good luck finding a 12.1" to match these features for less than 1200.
12.1" Dual core 12.1" 100GB Sata 1gb ddr2 dual layer dvdrw 12.1" nVidia Geforce video 4 pounds etc etc etc A true "High End" laptop challenger for 599.

Holy smokes, it has Vista too! Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!
What about the Compaq Presario Notebook w/ AMD Turion 64 ML-28, 512MB RAM, 60GB Hard-Drive. 15.4 Wide-Screen Display for $399.98 (no rebates) at Staples? How does this compare to the BB Core Solo?

Yeah.. I honestly don't have a clue as far as notebooks go. Aside from the processor,the specs look pretty close. The BB one has a 80GB HD vs 60 though.
Most likely I'd go for the BB, but since it'll most likely be sold out two minutes after the store opens, I might end up heading over to Staples and pick that one up instead.

It's close between the Acer and Averatec. I love the Averatec specs, but they seem a little iffy as far as computer construction and company reputability. Acer Avisos are consistently getting good reviews.
Although I'd love to have that 12 inch screen, I just don't know if I can risk getting an Averatec.

It means it is for the crazy few who will camp out. Some people stay there overnight. Doorbuster deals are like a reference what they can do later the year.
How does the AMD Turion 64 X2 compare to the Core Solo?
according to anandtech, Intel Core Duos are better than AMD duos hand down, but compared to amd turion 64x2 and intel core solo, what are the differences in battery life and speed?
