You could make money on this if you throw in a coupon and unbundle it. If the CRT is not in a separate box, that would be a hassle.

poisonz said:The only draw back is 512mb, CD-RW and 17" CRT. While few laptops are starting from $299.
Another drawback: Sempron

Also, this is not a laptop.

This has one major advantage in my opinion ---> Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

But seriously, $299 is about 100 bux too much for this.

Original price $589.99 (LMAO)
