That looks good. Thanks for the help. I pulled the trigger (before everything was sold out) and got this

Best Buy Toshiba

•Toshiba Satellite Laptop / 2.1 GHZ Intel® Pentium® Processor / 15.6" Display / 3GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive
•6-cell lithium-ion battery

..... Not my first choice but it will do

I think I'll start shopping earlier next year. I never accurately gauge supply and demand. Also I suck at the stock market.
