    This upcoming weekend Best Buy is advertising the following FW versions in their sales circular:

    FW-140E/H - $899 ($250 off)

    FW-170J/W - $1199 ($200 off)



    The $899 price is the lowest I've seen an FW for yet. The only downside is that both of these models use integrated graphics (and Eco screens).

    for people wanting a good laptop with no gaming, no graphics work, then these are fine with a good price as well, but if you want to do any gaming, the ati card is a must.

    checking BB.ca, no such deal lol.
