Sounds like a great offer... I wouldn't be able to get a desktop at those prices.

 

[Daniel]

Comes with Windows XP Home.

Robert, xe.com reports $933USD.

Wow, that is a great deal. Holiday promotion prices I presume? Too lazy to visit the site

Whatever. :chicken:


Haven't received the laptop yet so I wouldn't know exactly what the battery life would be. Probably around 2 hours. I can always get more batteries.

It's an awesome deal. I would have bought two and sold the other one for a little more a few days before Christmas or after Christmas.

I knew that, I just didn't pay attention to the .ca on the domain. D'oh.

I've had bad experiences trying to sell things.
