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+ (http://www.circuitcity.com/detail.jsp?c=1&b=g&catoid=-8026&qp=0092232053403&oid=86637)

For $$1,649.99 - $100.00 MIR (http://www.circuitcity.com/cs_contentdisplay.jsp?c=1&b=g&incat=88779) - $100.00 MIR (http://www.circuitcity.com/cs_contentdisplay.jsp?c=1&b=g&incat=87055) = $1,449.99

Before you laugh yourself right out of your chair. Check out these specs:

It makes you think twice.

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,
