Super! This is actually the deal that I have been waiting for...

Turion 64 with No Rebate around 700 bucks deal...hehe..

By the way, how bad is SIS integrated?

I won't do too much gaming etc. But I do watch movies etc, and main job with this laptop will be "photoshop" etc, which is the reason why I have been looking at Turion 64 (cheaper but powerful calculator...).

Any advice will be greatly appreciated...

 

I have the Acer Aspire 3003Lci, and I think that it's Intergrated GPU is OK, because I could even play the Age of Empire 3 demo on lower settings. Hope this helps!

 

WOW!! Great deal. Don't forget to use Fatwallet to get a 3% discount (About $25). www.fatwallet.com sign up for your free account.

The Integrated GPU's are somtimes very nice because you can pick the amount of video RAM. You can usually chose between 32MB - 128 MB, so when your playing higher end games you will want 64MB-128 of VGA Ram. What it does is steals your regual RAM and adds it to the Amount of video ram. So if you have 512 MB's and you steal 96MB's to make the graphics card have 128MB's then you will have 416 MB's ofRAM.

This deal even includes free shipping! DVD Burner!! 100 GIG HD!! AMD Turion 64 bit!! 512 RAM!! THIS IS AMAZING!! Too bad the screen isn't 12-14" because I need a good sold travel notebeook. BUT TAKE ATVANTAGE OF THIS "STEAL DEAL"!!

 

Yes, that is a great deal, if you really get what Staples claims.

If you add it to your cart, it now says it's an MT-30 (1.6 ghz) instead of an MT-34 (1.8 ghz). And the price goes up to $831 for some reason (shipping is supposed to be free, and sales tax for me would be more than $31). And if I continue the purchace, it says the item is not available for my area.

Also, at the Acer USA website, that model is listed as having the higher power ML-30.

So I suggest if you want to get one, go to you local Staples store so you'll know exactly what it is you'll be getting.

 

I went over to Staples, and sure enough, it does have a Turion ML-30. That's still a good price, though. But too bad it doesn't have the faster, lower power MT-34 that the ad stated...

 

Sure enough, I purchased this great deal at Staples and I
was duped. Since HP does not offer the ML-34 for the V2000Z, I thought that this was a great deal.

I opened the Laptop and sure enough it's a ML-30.

Will Staples honor their ad. I have a copy of it which has the MT-34.
