    I was wondering if anyone knew the best time to buy a laptop. I have my eyes on the S6231 and was wondering if Fujitsu had any big sales or quarter sales in the upcoming months? Any advice would be of great help!

    if you wait a few months there may be a price drop, since Intel will drop their PM prices, apparently.

    Fujitsu rarely has sales and isn't the best place to buy from anyway. You're looking to replace the 6231 already?

    Intel are dropping their CPU prices when they release their Pentium M 780 (2.26GHz) cpu.

    The price drop are as follow:

    -Pentium M 780, 2.26 GHz (533 FSB) introductory price: $637
    -Pentium M 770, 2.13 GHz (533 FSB) $637 to $423 (33% decrease)
    -Pentium M 765, 2.10 GHz (400 FSB) $637 to $423 (33% decrease)
    -Pentium M 760, 2.00 GHz (533 FSB) $423 to $294 (30% decrease)
    -Pentium M 750, 1.86 GHz (533 FSB) $294 to $241 (18% decrease)
    -Pentium M 740, 1.73 GHz (533 FSB) $241 to $209 (13% decrease)

    EDIT: This wont happen until at least July 24th.

    Get a faster hard drive. You'll get more for your performance buck there.
