    That's a good deal for $479, that's kind of the price I would have liked to have seen it with. Especially good deal as it comes with 1GB of RAM. Too bad it's gone :(

    I just ordered the same laptop except with a Turion X2 TL-50, a truelife display, and a $30 Yahoo Jukebox subscription that I had no choice in ordering for $635.

    I wonder that kind of integrated audio this laptop has. Does anyone know?
