Black Friday 2007 Thanksgiving High End 17" laptops Comparison

Powered by Qumana

I've been at it last 24hrs non-stop trying to get the best high end laptop deals. By now I am sure I have covered all the stores and checked all reviews thoroughly. My conclusion is: No in-store offers a great deal for high end laptops or In other words the online deals at websites of HP,IBM,Dell,Toshiba,Sony etcetera are better than what is in store. Guess it makes sense too, Black Friday was always meant for the low end to average buyer.

Here's what I am looking for: Large display (17" plus) + Good processor (A Duo Core T7500-2.2Ghz or T7300-2.0Ghz)

RAM: minimal (1G) why? coz buying unbundled RAM is always Cheaper
OS: Any windows is fine...they can always be topped up with whatever is missing.
HDD: 160G alteast if single slot or 80G
Optical Drive: DVD writer

price: 1000-1300 D
