FYI I have been shopping for a laptop with a high-res widescreen, bluetooth, S-video, 1GB+ memory, and 120GB+ drive. Found this Dell deal this week for $729 after "40% off":

I called the Dell Direct store at Southpoint to figure out how to reserve it to buy this weekend w/o sales tax since the deal may expire before then. Found out the Dell store there is running a 7.5% "sale" through Thursday to encourage people to avoid the EXPECTED 2 HOUR WAIT this weekend.
No thanks. I gave my CC # and ordered about 30 minutes ago

$858 delivered after I upgraded a bunch of things. I think it's a great deal.
