Any good deals on laptops?

Has any found any good deals on laptops lately? Looking for something around $500 for college student.

Try TigerDirect or the Dell Factory Outlet (select the price in the drop-down menu).

I would also check your local Craigslist. I've found several good computer deals locally from people who just want to make the sale and be done with it. (Most of the time, they have already bought a new computer themselves.)

If you know any computer hardware geeks (which are different from your average geek) mine was 100 off ebay, my MILS was less...bought with a 'bad battery error' and then bought a battery...cheap fix, but non geeks wont do it.
