Is this a good deal on a new laptop?

The third item listed here seems to be a better machine, same price with the discount.

Edit: Missed something - the HD is larger on the Costco item.

I wouldn't bother to get a small 15" screen laptop

Depends on what your needs are. Looking for something portable, 15 or 13" screens are prefect. Looking for a desktop replacement? 17" would be better.

www.newegg.com has great prices, do some comparison shopping over there before you buy

If you like working out of cafes or on the road, smaller screens are great. Im thinking of getting a Lenovo S10 unless I get sucked into the MAC ZONE. The more I watch my cousin in law use his Macbook, the more I want to get my own Mac.

For that price, I think it's a pretty solid deal. Cool thing about costco too is they will let you return it without paying a restocking fee, unlike Best Buy and other major retailers (atleast thats how it was about 6 months ago). The only thing a little weird to me is that it has Vista 32-Bit on it, and has 4GB of RAM, 32-Bit Vista can't recognize all 4GB of ram. But yeah, i'd say it's a good buy.

I'm on the road almost all the time, and take my 17" laptop into starbucks or whatever cafe or kinkos all the time, once its in a case you hardly notice the difference carrying it, unless of course you are walking 10 blocks or something
