    Oh, here's the $400 Llano notebook I was talking about. I believe there was a similar Lenovo model as well.

    you overpaid by about $75.

    i don't think the A8-4500m can command over $450, especially without a separate discrete graphics card.


    Staples was selling this exact laptop for $400+tax after rebate for college students not too long ago. It was model dv6-7010

    If you can't get it right now for that price, he didn't overpay. :)
