Awesome dude.

I would advise people not to get any of the Turion 64 X2 laptops. I have one and even though it's freq is higher then my Core 2 Duo laptop, it is far slower. It's maybe half as fast at best.

OP. For better or for worse (IMO, for worse), on FW most of discussion of BF happens in DD forum. In particular, the thread What is the best black friday Laptop deal?. And, there are pointers to the BF threads on BF forum, although that forum seems to be rather incomplete.

Not saying the thread you started is not better than what is in that other thread. The list you compiled is well-researched and organized. Just that with multiple threads on the same subject, mods often end up locking one of them, and killing off a lot of discussion that way. And I'd hate to see the work people put in compiling information going to waste. Plus, it is more difficult to have to check several threads over several forums for the same discussion.

Wish I knew if any of the deals had a decent video card. Guess I could research it more...

Wow! Nice summary. Regarding where it should go... ideally I'd agree with fwiffo -- put it in the black friday laptop thread. I wonder if it gets more exposure and thus helpful replies in Hot Deals. I tried to start a black friday desktop forum in deal discussion myself. Got a few good responses, then it died off. Is the BF Forum gettin enough publicity?

Thanks for all the green =)

In regard to forum placement:

I was originally trying to post to the BF2k7 forum, but apparently it's a pseudo-forum and I had to choose either Hot Deals or Deal Discussion. I chose HD simply because I imagine a great majority of FW novices would look in the HT forum for Black Friday sales, while completely ignoring the DD forum.

The point is now moot, since the mods moved this to DD.

CC for me this is seems good... until a better deals comes along...
$300 laptop here i come

last year there were some $200 laptop for BF

What is CrapUSA even thinking? Most of their lappies are over $1000 ..upto $2600...I understand some of them are high end but this is not the right time or place to sell those expensive ones.
