I do not see it on Amazon...
At Staples, it can be got for $50 or so under the advertised price.
With dollar of coupons and combined with 1 or 2 printers with offers and of course based on reselling those.

Free HP printer AR and other HP rebates will expire on Jun. 27th. Wish new rebates will come out that time. The Staples dollar coupons usually don't qualify for computer, but no harm to try. I was lucky to use $30 coupon for a HP netbook last week.

The FAR d4360 surely will continue, it's been going for well over a year.
Would be nice if they renew the $60 off an HP wirless printer.
With both printers the $25 or $30 will work with 2 ptinters bought with a pc.

It's definitely worth forking over the extra cash for that, in this day and age.
Very little nowadays depends on laptops. If one is skilled they can do 1 million times more with pentium 3 than a dummass with a quad core.

I have a 4 year old AMD processor of the same family. It runs Windows 7( Microsoft's latest Operating system) and Ubuntu 9.10 perfectly fine and fast. Processing power is no issue, the only issue I have is lesser RAM (512MB). I assume this system will have no issues from AMD processor standpoint.

Not found. Is this a bust?

no, it's a laptop. Deal on a bust at the Museum of Art

I think this is better at Fry's B and M.Fry's Norcal Store

The Fry's one has a bigger drive and is available now.

E-Machines = Acer

I think you need a quad core processor

So what is the "million times more" someone can do with a single Pentium 3 vs a quad core processor?

E-Machines = Acer

I sure thought that E-Machine = Gateway.

Might make sense to check out their online circular (www.staples.com/weeklyad) to see if the laptop is available in your loaction. I think the online circular site posts the Sunday circular the Friday before, so the Sunday, 7/5 ad would be view-able on Friday, July 3rd.

This is a great deal! Good luck!

Online it has always been posted around noon pacific time Thursday.
And, yes, be sure you are looking at the ad for your zip code.
However, I have been able to get my local to sell for anothers price (if lower) by showing a printout.
