My mom is staying at our shore house all summer which is wireless and needs a computer that will last a few years and do basic things such as Email, Ms Office, Web surfing etc

Any really good deals out there right now like a Dell after coupons or something after rebates?

I need something at least decent


SHE NEEDS THIS BY FRIDAY

by friday your best bet is in store purchase

Heck i'm even worried about some camera stuff arriving on time next week, and i ordered it last night.

you shouldnt really customize then, buy a already built system. Customizing may take a bit too long (next week that is)

im currently in the market for a laptop in that kind of price range.. maybe up to a little over $800 because i'd like to use my $400 gc from freepay on one.. that buy.com one is tempting, but i cant use a gc on it. i see a couple decent ones on amazon, but dont want to pull the trigger just yet. i dont really care for anything on circuit city or best buy. i prefer building a dell, but again, no gc.
