Dell Small Business - Dell Vostro 1000 with AMD Sempron 3600+, 512MB DDR2, 80GB SATA Hard Drive, CDRW/DVD Combo, 802.11, WinXP Home and 1 Year Warranty for Only $399

Their entry level laptop has now dropped to just $399 folks. This is a brand new computer, not refurbished or reconditioned or regenerated or whatever. It has a 15.4" WXGA screen that does give you a free upgrade to the TrueLife display (be sure to check it off) while an upgrade to 2GB of memory, if you'd like, is just $50. I would upgrade the battery if you do plan on using it on the road regularly to the 6 cell for $50. As I've said before, these notebooks are getting cheaper and cheaper and at $399, it's practically disposable. Almost. DELL VOSTRO 1000 LAPTOP DEAL
