Now I'm in the market for a lightweight notebook, simply because I'm really never home. *I'd like to be able to jot my thoughts down quickly, or work on side projects while I'm waiting in line somewhere.
I'm pretty impressed by the Dell Inspiron 700m. * About 4lbs, very vibrant display, and I nabbed mine for around $700.

And Wab, if you wouldn't mind, could you post the link to the page where you find these refurbished Dell deals? *I wouldn't mind perusing them.
I feel like a drug pusher, but I guess it's better than being a user....

Go here:

Select the configuration you want using their search tool, and then start refreshing at exactly 40 minutes past the hour. * *There's a lot of competition for this stuff, including many who resell the stuff on eBay, so you have to develop a feel for how Dell peppers their inventory with bargains and how to be the first to nab it. * It's an art. * Dell has funky tiered discounts and coupons that will stretch your math skills.

Once you find a config you like, check the coupon sites (fatwallet.com, techbargains.com, etc) for discounts. * Today's deals aren't that great, but there may be better coupons tomorrow, and Dell often offers additional discounts on the weekends (see what I mean about "art?").
