If you're looking for a computer with decent (or better) specs, you're better off combing the deals websites (like slickdeals.net) to see what's out there. Right now, both Dell and Lenovo have had some very good deals in their outlet website. I could've picked up a Dell Latitude with an i5 Ivy Bridge processor, 4GB RAM, DVD burner and 1600x900 14" screen for $650. Lenovo had similar specs for almost the same price.
What I am looking is ideally a DELL I5 with 8GB RAM, HD>750GB and maybe a 14" or 17" screen. I saw some very good deals on bestbuy some weeks ago. Actually I visit only Bestbuy when in US. Could have this DELL for around 650 USD.
