tip, the trends are hitting the notebooks too... bought a machine for $1300 in Dec. that was priced around $2500 in Mar-April... glut of 12.1" and 13.3" FPD screens now, apparently. Of course smaller (& probably more heat-resistant) stuff, more shock-resistant disk drives, and the FPD itself cost more than desktop equipment... will always be a differential there. Maybe there are even better deals post-Christmas (although the machine I bought may be sold out... it was scuzzy, obsolete P200MMX closeout -g-). (from Quantex) (IMO, the way to go with laptops now is get a closeout that is --just barely--- about to become "older technology", like MMX instead of PII laptops, 13.3" instead of 14 or 15" screens.... Or else go for one of the subcompacts, tapped on a Sony at the store recently and they look very light, really comfortable to travel with. HB Maybe a month or so is right.
