    Running great for me. I bought mine from circuit city about 2 weeks ago for 649 and you can bet I am going back to figure out how to get 150 back to get it down to 499. For 499 I think it is a great deal. I did upgrade the memory in mine to 1.2 gigs.

    I went back and CC was great about it, they actually processed it as if I returned my notebook then rang me up with a new one so I could get the rebate. So I had to pay $150 to get a $300 rebate. Everything will work out well as long as I get the rebate now!
