Here is something interesting from eMachines no less. I know what you are thinking. I did a double take myself when I first saw it:
eMachines Notebook PC with Mobile AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor 3000+
For $$1,649.99 -
$100.00 MIR -
$100.00 MIR =
$1,449.99
Before you laugh yourself right out of your chair. Check out these specs:
Athlon 64 3000+, 512Mb PC-2700, 60Gb HD,
DVD+/-RW/CD-RW, 15.4 WXGA Wide Screen, ATI Mobility Radeo 9600, 802.11g, 4 USB 2.0, 56k, NIC, and more!!
It makes you think twice.
Best Buy, not to be outdone has the:
eMachines Notebook with AMD Mobile Athlon™ 64 Processor 3000+
$1,549.99 -
$150.00 MIR -
$100.00 MIR =
$1,299.99
Here are the specs:
Athlon 64 3000+, 512Mb PC-2700, 60Gb HD,
DVD/CD-RW, 15.4 WXGA Wide Screen, ATI Mobility Radeo 9600, 802.11g, 4 USB 2.0, 56k, NIC, and more.
The difference between the two listed is the DVD Burner vs DVD Combo Drive.
If you are in the market for a notebook that gives serious bang for the buck, these two are worth looking at. (Especially with the current exchange rate.)
Take Care,

P.S. I guess it was a good thing
Gateway bought out eMachines.
