Don't mind if it is off leased, but preferably at least dual core above 2ghz Thanks Most of the toaster shops ( Harvey Normans etc) are getting close to have sales before xmas, sometimes they have some good deals. If you go this option, Just make sure they dont try to sell you a lot of items you dont really need or want. Dont fall for their extended warranties either, they are a waste of time and you're covered by the CGA anyway. |

| 1359247 | 2013-11-09 06:08:00 | Harvey Normans are currently playing the ad with the storm noise on it, that's usually a sign of a big sale | plod (107) | ||
| 1359248 | 2013-11-09 07:23:00 | PB tech will have a black friday sale in a couple of weeks. Buy one from them. do make sure you don't completely cheap out on it though. Acers and such aren't that fantastic quality wise, which for a school kid is probably going to be quite important. |

| 1359251 | 2013-11-09 22:45:00 | Lenovo do 20-30% sales quiet often: shopap.lenovo.com keep an eye out. Their current sale doesn't seem to be that great though. |

| 1359253 | 2013-11-10 08:31:00 | Promotions or used laptops for like $250 .. Meets the clerical nature work ... fine. I don't like Netbooks due to size of the keyboard I cannot touch type and the screen size but many students do use them ... | Nomad (952) | ||
