Picked up a laptop.
Went to Best Buy 1st, got there at 6:10 and the line was around 3 sides of the store. They had one for $499 after rebates, but of course the tickets they were handing out for it were gone before 5am. I was going to buy some other things, but was too ticked to stick around there.
Called up CompUSA, whom had one for $599. Same story. Finally drove to circuit city whom had one for $649 after rebates. Had a lot of them in stock, and that's where I got it.
HP Pavillion, Celeron 2.4, 256 RAM, 30gig HD, DVD/CD-RW combo, 15" XGA. Nothing great, but it only supplements my desktop, so it's more than enough.
