    A wannabe computer? It's far more of a computer than the iMac on your desk.

    Way more powerful and versatile anyway.

    It's a Media Center PC, you hook it up to a 40-50" LCD HDTV in your living room.

              Well, I'm buying an Inspiron 9300 laptop and here are the upgrades I'm getting:


              1GB memory

              80 MB hardrive

              256MB NVIDA® GeForce™ Go 6800

              1.8 Mhz processor


              I have a special deal where I'm saving a total of $550 off my purchase. Part of the deal is that as a Target employee, I have access to 12% off automatically, in combination with a couple of other deals Dell has going on right now. And Dell is offering incredibly great prices for some of the more important upgrades right now too!

                  That's great, but since I don't work at Target, it helps me none.

                    Dude, that was only part of my savings. You should check out the good deals Dell is offering for everyone else. The prices on some of the upgrade options for example, for some of their computers are almost at HALF price.

                        Boris, to get the best bang for the buck, build it yourself.

                        But since that's not an option for you, you can always go at a good place and have someone build it for you. That way, you can pick and choose the components. And you still get better bang for the buck than Dell or HP.

                          If you were looking for a cheaper laptop, where in Calgary would you look first?

                          Essentially I want to get something for my wife to surf the internet -- to get her away from my desktop and out of the den. With a wireless connection she can surf from the family room with our son (keeping him from wrecking my den)

                          Any thoughts on specs would be helpful too but note my criteria

                          1. can surf the internet at a a reasonable to fast speed (we have a cable modem)
                          2. portable
                          3. cheap-- Defintely <1000 and perhaps substantially so-- Second-hand might be ok if there is a reputable dealer of those locally

                          She doesn't do gaming and the computer doesn't need all the bells and whistles.

                          My thinking is that a DVD player or CD writer , a big hard drive are irrelevant. Literally, if she can surf quickly and easily thats it -- Other programs/computing needs can be done on the desktop
                          You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo
