    Good deal on the Vostro!

    Amazing that the Compaq Presario F506US (F500 Series) is cheaper than the Presario C500T! The specs for both are about even (i.e. crappy), but if I had to choose, I'd take the F506US over the C500T, since the C500T is nothing more than a budget-oriented V5000 series notebook, which came out over 2 years ago.
