    My father and i both needed laptops and went to best buy. We saw this model priced at $350. It has an AMD Phenom II dual core p650 (2.60Ghz), AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics and 3gb of ram w/ HDMI out.

    My father bought one before me and when i went to go get one, they were sold out but only in that store as they had them in stock at other stores. Luckily, I bought it and picked it up at a different Best Buy. When i went to the other store, I was told that my laptop model was not to be released until the 20 of this month and that I was very lucky.

    I was wondering if I made a good decision.

    really where do you live? I was shopping for a laptop this weekend and I did not see this model available online or in store.. I end up getting the G42 which have the AMD Athlon Dual core P340 2.2Ghz ATI Mobility Radeon HD4250 Graphics and 3gb of ram with HDMI out.

    I end up paying $428

    I saw the orig post and thought it matched what i had been looking for in a new laptop ...tried 2 best buy's here in western iowa / omaha area and found one at the 2 nd store they had it priced in their system but that was it they couldnt find anymore info on the PC so I got it for 350$. So far i love it. Thanks to the Orig poster for the heads up on this. If anyone else is looking for this machine might try to have the sales people check stock for the model number otherwise they will just say it is something they do not carry.
