You're all welcome girls. Make sure that if you buy from Dell, that you use the coupons. Sometimes they even can stack the coupons.

Thanks for the post! I'm actually in the middle of buying a laptop right now and it's a toss up between the Mac Powerbook or an HP laptop. I don't know much about computers so I usually judge them on just how long their battery life is, how cute they look and how much they weigh but this helps a lot! Thanks!

Hmm I see this is from 2004, so maybe it's time to upgrade those numbers

Too bad I didn't see this post before we bought our laptop! Although I still think we got a good laptop! We bought our first Dell laptop, because they were having a special sale that allowed us to get a Core Duo processor that was actually in our price range! When we bought this one, the cheapest Core Duo laptop at Best Buy (where I have bought all of my other computers, and I thought I got a good buy on them!) was $1200 and had a 1.6GHz processor. But our new Dell Inspiron has 1.83GHz Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 100 GB harddrive for about $1100!

Of course, not buying any Microsoft Office products also brought down the price! I can't find the software key for the MS Office version I had on my old computer (Tony do you know how to find it? Opening Word and going to Help -> About just gave us a Word key, not the right number of digits for the Office key). If I can't find the key, then I think we will try downloading Open Office, I had a Linux geek friend in college that swore Open Office was completely compatable with Office...
