Actually found a great sale at circuit city yesterday, and purchased a HP; AMD Turion 64 ML-37 (2.0 GHz), 2 GB RAM, 120 HD, Radeon 128M video board, wireless with bluetooth, 15.4 brightview screen, and a lightscripe DVD/CD burner reader. After $250.00 in rebates final cost will be $1050.00
Also included one of those 6/1 card readers, but get this, it will not read Compact Flash cards. That does not make sense to me, since CF is one of the most popular, and all that I use, so except for the additional USB and Firewire port, this card reader is worthless.
Still loading and updating the software. Took me almost two hours just to load on all my GPS software and confirm everything worked, but I sure do love that brightview, wide screen, and it is a lot faster than my old Toshiba.
