Office Depot has the Compaq Presario F730US 15.4" Notebook PC for $629.99 - $180 rebate [Exp 11/3] = $449.99 w/ free shipping.

- AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-55 1.8GHz, 1GB DDR2, 120GB SATA HDD
- 15.4" WXGA Dispaly, 8x DVD+/-RW Double Layer
- 802.11b/g, Vista Home Premium, Weighs 6.6 lbs

Overpriced and I'll bet it has the crummy Intel graphic display and cheap audio that most games won't work with.

An AMD Athlon system with 1GB of RAM, 120GB hard drive, and only 1.8Ghz should be $400 retail price. The only time it should be $629.99 retail is if they had a 2.2Ghz Athlon, 3GB of RAM, and a 250GB hard drive, and GeForce based graphic chip and Sound Blaster based audio.

FYI, you picked up on an old offer, expired 11/3.

FYI you brought back an old thread. It was posted 10-27-2007 so it was good for several days after it was posted.

Yes. I intended to send the note to 'Andy Kaufman' to let him know his post (which was much more recent) was referring to a very old offer.

Still just trying to get the hang of these forums, so thanks for pointing it out. We rely on you 'graybeards' to keep us straight.

Probably best to just let this whole thread die or others will be trying to read it and buy it.

Best regards,
Rick

That is not a good deal...
