I found out about this Acer Extensa 5620-6419 Notebook deal here.

Let me tell you why this deal is great. First off, the main thing that caught my eye was the 3GB of memory. Thats a whole lot of memory and it can be expanded to 4GB if you wish. Acer Extensa 5620-6419 Notebook has a Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 1.83GHz processor with Intel Centrino processor technology. This Acer Extensa Notebook Computer has everything you would possibly need accept for the graphics card. Graphics card and the battery are the two things I don’t like in this Acer Extensa Notebook Computer. The graphics card on this Acer Extensa Laptop is a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 and we all know Intel’s graphics card are not the greatest. The battery on this Acer Extensa Laptop is only a 6-cell lithium-ion battery so if you want to use your laptop without plugging it into an electric shocked for a long time, this is not for you. A 6-cell lithium-ion battery will give you about 3 hours of use (my guess). Anyway, other than that everything else looks great. Here are some of the technical specifications for Acer Extensa EX5620-6419 Laptop.

• 15.4″-diagonal widescreen WXGA CrystalBright LCD screen with 1280 x 800 resolution
• Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 1.83GHz processor with Intel Centrino processor technology, 2MB L2 cache
• 3GB of DDR2 SDRAM memory as mentioned above

Another deal on offer here. Not the best of deals but a Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook PC for just $400 is a good deal in my book. Staples has a Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook PC on sale for $400 after $147 instant rebate. This Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook is not the top of the line laptop by any means but for a web surfer and for people who doesn’t need much processing power or don’t want to play new games on it, this is a good choice. Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook is not the lightest of laptops as it weighs 5.68lbs but for $400 who cares. The regular price of Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook at staples is $546.98 but after a $147 instant rebate, the price comes down to $400. For those who want to know, here are the specifications for this Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook:

• AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core TK-57 (1.90GHz) processor
• 1GB of pre-installed RAM (Expandable to upto 3GB if needed)
• 120GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
• Super Multi 8X DVD-R/RW with Double Layer Support
• 15.4″ WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen display
• NVIDIA GeForce 7000M with up to 287MB
• 802.11b/g WLAN

This Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook comes with Windows Vista OS pre-installed so I don’t think 1GB of RAM will cut it. If it were me, I would remove Windows Vista and install Windows XP. Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook has a battery that will last up to 2.5 hours depending on what you are doing. Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook comes with a 1 year warranty. The design of this Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook looks slick (better than a Vostro 1500 looking at the picture). If it were me, I would buy this laptop in an instant. I already have one (Dell Vostro 1500) so I don’t need another, otherwise I would have bought Compaq Presario F762NR Notebook. Good value for the money.
