    Hi, all.
    What's the lowest you've seen the S460/B for, including rebates?
    CompUSA has it now for $1549 after $250 in rebates? Is that a good deal or should I wait a few weeks? Thank you.

    That's a pretty common price for the s460 now.

    Read about the s580 and decide if you'd rather get one of those. Even though it might cost $250 more (haven't checked the price here).

    I got my s460 even lower from compUSA back when they had a 10% off coupon, plus the $250 in rebates. So I saved another $180 or so. Not sure if that deal will be back, but they probably will offer more incentives to reduce stock on the s460/480.

    The S460 was already at the top of my price range, but why would the S580 be worth the extra money, do you think? It seems like the two are almost identical.

    I saw the S460 in black and although I love the screen and form factor, I'm not too thrilled with the black casing it comes in.

    Thanks for your advice.
