Yes, that is a pretty sweet deal. It's especially great if you want them to do their homework because the video card won't run high end games well.
thts cool....... a gr8 deal infact...
If this is a Best Buy sale..good luck finding it. I think it was only a Black Friday sale item! I wanted it myself but refused to wait in line for it! Curious...where did you find it? Can you really get a hold of it? If so, I'd love to know so I can join you!! LOL
