I wasn't too stunned when seeing laptop prices drop like bricks this year except when I saw this machine appear like magic on best buy's shelves this month:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...;ci_sku=9173262 While I realize this computer doesn't have the highest resolution (1366 x 768), it's a ridiculous bargain for 900.00 dollars. A laptop with as much juice as this one would have cost 1700-2000 dollars only two months ago. |

Alright so.. something changed about it. I remember the case being black and silver. And ya, the prices look like they've changed drastically. At the time that it was in the 30k range, it was about 9-10 months ago. |
