Unfortunately I don't know if there'll be a laptop out in time that'll fit quite to my liking for the price, but we'll see.
If i could toot microsoft's horn for them, Id fucking toot it, and id toot it all night and toot it all day till they get me a smaller toot to shut me the fuck up.
Either that or get security to bounce me, either one works though I must warn that i dont react well to getting manhandeld by burly henchmen.
MS is a fucking rip off! and there taking advantage of the students to sell more XBL memberships and all the other paid services... Granted its a nice bonus getting something for free when you buy a lappy but still the fuckers will have there hand in your pocket nickel and dimming ya and beading every cent they can outta ya..I sware MS is the fukn Anti Christ!!! I cant even watch netflix on the 360 unless I pay for a freaking LIVE account... Good thing my Bluray player has netflix and it doesn't cost me anything to use it... I haven't even played a single game on the 360 sense MS started changing everything on the 360 and charging for every single service... :shadedshu

Apparently this is just for Microsoft's site though.
edit:
Buy any PC below for college
This isn't as good as last year's. Last year you could buy anything over $700. Now you have to select certain models.
