17 feet is very big

the cheapest laptop of all is not included in OP's post . it is on Best buy secret item list for $229.98 Toshiba A135-S7403 Laptop & Canon 3-in-1 Printer Package
Notebook SKU: 8593854 Printer SKU: 8470013

I think its a decent laptop. I am also looking forward to but the same. Only 220$ MIR is little disappointing coz have to pay tax on 819$.

Also, I heard people saying that if you want to install XP drivers are not easily available. Otherwise I liked specs and performance review.

$899 -$80 IS - $220 MIR=$599

Lenovo at OD

People seemed to love it at $679 here but since its BF, there might be better deals out there? What do you guys think?

This information was not available at time of posting. Also, I think $300 for a dual-core pentium is a much better deal than $230 for a celeron...

depends on the location. some yes, some no.

I know this is the laptop thread but does anyone have some advice on BF desktops? A co-worker is asking and I do not have time to check them out at the moment. Thanks.

I will go with Sony for these two config's.
Specs are similar. Sony has better fame. Also AMD's mobile processors are worse than Intel's.

I wish Staples made the Compaq laptop availabe online on bf so people wouldn't have to stand in line for 5-6 hours if they wanted to get one.

If anyone has the compaq model # I may be able to look up what chipset is inside and how much memory it supports. BTW, it seems both CC and Stapl3s are selling the same model, or are they different?

If I'm not mistaken, it's the C712US...seems like it might be one of those "BF-only" model numbers. As you said, it appears that the CC and Staples machines are one in the same, just with different model numbers.

Also as an FYI (I think I posted it earlier in this thread), there's a $30 MIR from Compaq on any laptops with model numbers ending in "US" - brings the AR cost down to $319 plus tax on $349, compare to CC, which is $299 plus tax on $450...for me, the difference ends up being $12 - making Staples the much more attractive option given my lack of desire to camp out all night.
