You can get a Dual Core 1.73ghz, 2GB RAM, 250gb HDD, 1280x800 15.4" Screen with most likely an integrated video card
Yeah, to be honest, you're going to be hard pressed to a 2Ghz C2D with 4GB of RAM for under
You should check out today's deal on woot.com if you're still looking for laptop:
refurbed of course, but a hell of a deal:
"
Condition:
Refurbished
Product:
1 HP dv7-1245dx AMD Dual-Core 2.1 GHz 17
Sorry about that.
"Why isn't my state/country/province listed; do you ship internationally?
No, we do not ship outside of the continental United States at this time. We do not ship to Canada, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, nor to Maggie's Nipples, Wyoming or Assinippi, Massachusetts at this time."
That's really weird, no MA?
