I bought the Lenovo S405 this morning. I also found following on staples which will be $50 more (after rebate) but this one got i3 processor. It looks similar to Lenovo in term of size and weight.
Any suggestion? Is it worth getting HP http://www.staples.com/HP-Pavilio...uct_9 |

Edit: NVM, found the rebate. Actually, I'm more inclined to return this and get this. Interesting. Last edited by proplaya422; 12-07-2012 at 04:53 PM.. Reason: NVM |

Thanks. Got a nice laptop for 330 shipped for my wife. Like everyone else, staples.com did not apply the code and the order came out as $439, but a phone call (was on hold for close to 10 min though..!) to a CSR helped me get $110 back in refunds.
Fastest impulse buy in a while..! Thankfully it was for the wife who is not as discerning as I am when it comes to laptops..! |

so in the end it's still a netbook pretty much. $299 for a netbook is an acceptable price, but it is warm at best. |

- I would shop around a bit more

is this laptop worth the $50 difference? http://www.target.com/p/gateway-1...edium_1_12

I have had two computers running W7 Ultimate x64 side by side for a while - HP A6 and a Acer i5-450M. All other specs are the same. The A6 just feels much snappier for every day tasks - browsing, e-mail, videos, even some light games. I know - old gen i5, but the A6 just delivers a more pleasant user experience.
I am sure the graphics performance of A6 will beat even a second gen i5. Since you can barely get an i3 for this price - I would pick the A6 any day of the week. Get one and try it out yourself. Just make sure you get rid of all the crapware/clean install. Benchmarks have really started to mean much less to me lately. |

A6 4455m is dual-core. not quad.

Staples has $100 off coupon for laptops & desktop from $399 and up. You can you this for other laptops/desktopsIf this is not avail instore, i believe you can order via Kiot and have it ship to your home. Of course, you gonna apply this coupon when you check out.
