Since the in-store price (ad print's price) is cheaper than the online price, you should try to get a price match to only pay $390.

Good luck!

good luck is right, good luck finding any now. Most stores only had about 5 and they are long gone. Sorry Pyee!

Funny, because there was a thread about this yesterday but I noticed it was gone as of last night.

You can pick a store, select pickup and add it to an order.

Which doesnt appear to check stock. I ordered one from the local store and they called two hours later to say they didnt have any.

But they told me that another store about 10 mi away had six in stock, and they did. Now they have five!

So ask your local store to check inventory of the other area stores, might still have a few hanging around.

Nice little machine. My 4 year old is playing PBS games on it right now.

Manual that came with it said 4400mah battery rather than 2200, i'll have to flip it over and check the battery when he's done playing with it, which might be a while...

Seems to have everything. Screen looks good and keyboard has a good clicky feel to it.

Got one at my local OD..thanks OP!!

You needed to buy the case and printer at the same time as the laptop, then send in rebate forms to get the money back, as far as I know. I didnt need either and didnt feel like fiddling with rebates, so I didnt bother.

The battery in mine is a 4500mah Panasonic. So battery is much better than reported and the battery life should be very good.

That's a pretty hot deal in itself.

Not such a good computer anyway.

I went to the OD in Alhambra, CA on Valley Blvd. and they had 4 left after I bought mine. and in regards to the free FORAY laptop sleeve, when I went to the register, the cashier automatically asked me which laptop sleeve I wanted (she had them on the floor behind her). When I checked my receipt after I left, I noticed I was charged $0.01 for it, but right underneath the charge was a $0.01 promo discount. I did not have to bundle my purchase with a printer or anything.

So far this laptop is really nice. I like the way the keys feel. The touch pad could stand to be a little more sensitive. It appears that the battery life is about 2.5 hours only when set to "balanced" and using wireless internet.

Can someone recommend a case for this laptop that can hold the laptop, chager, mouse? one that is small enough too..

THhanks..
