    My sights are set on the Toshiba Satellite 3005-S307. CompUSA is selling it for the best price: $1499.

    You won't find a really good Dell for under $1600, especially considering shipping.

    Sony VAIO Notebook with Mobile AMD Athlon™ 4 Processor 1.2GHz
    Model: PCG-FXA48

    $1499

    is that a good machine?

    Is the Athlon 4 as fast as a P4?

    Yes, faster actually...1.2 will eat a 1.6 P4 for breakfast

    I have a thing about Sony notebooks, mine blew some major ass...

    Filburt: Dell has far more full featured notebooks and cheaper ones also

    Bad about 5 problems (big problems) arose with mine sent it in for warranty service...about a month later still wasn't fixed

    Would have preferred Dell's on-site service, and had a technician come to my house 1 or 2 days later instead...

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Toshiba does look like the most economic.

    Cant find a Dell <$1600 with Pentium and DVD / CD RW ...
