    For $900.00 at this time I'm going to hang on to them. And actually I have received higher offers from many. I am very interested to know though if you actually find a 7811 for $900.00. Thank you for your offer. -Goodspeed :)

    actually i can get it for 750 in real life.

    Just that transferring from paypal to a bank account then cashing the money is a lot of hassle. So i was hoping if someone would just sell me one here. For 900 through paypal to save me the trouble.

    I highly recommend getting one for $750.00 if you can as at this price they are a fantastic deal. I don't do paypal. I do cash. :D

    As a side note, I wonder how many people here don't do paypal, either due to bad experiences in the past or uncertainty of the electronic "interwebs" age of today?

    Agreed. I have to say that other than the "cheap feel" of the plastic I am very impressed with the laptops. I just wish they had a lighted keyboard.
