    About a weekend ago you couldve gotten a Vostro 1500 with a $500 off coupon.

    But i suggest you fill out a FAQ so we can know more what youre looking for and for Ram, i suggest you get the cheapest and upgrade it yourself because it will be significantly cheaper.

    You can get a dell 1530, basic config for around $1000 after $500 off

    Sorry , you are not looking for the best deal but for the lowest price possible .

    Anything mid range & new for that price must have fallen of a back of a truck ( which was probably stolen too ) ;)

    However I believe that in a short while we'll see more decent 15"s at that price if you can hold for a while .
