These are just a few of the deals that I felt deserved special mention. If you find a better deal or think there are other laptops that give you more bang for your buck, then please feel free to post them here and share with the community, as your comments or criticisms are always welcome.

I got the TD deal for MSI A5000 laptop for $375 (after Bing CB).

Surprised that we are not seeing good deals on basic laptops with Vista Basic yet. I expected some blow out deals on new laptops with Vista Basic.

In the future it might be easiest to read a post like this if the laptops were sorted in increasing order of price. Reading in order of price you could see what a certain amount of extra money gets for improved specifications.

If youre going to put the Acer from Best Buy thats a single core for 349.99 then you might as well include the Acer from Staples item number 828337. As far as I know its been removed from the website but stores still have them and its a dual core with the same specs.

I do like the idea though. Not a bad job and Im sorry if this post came across as nitpicking but wanted to point out for others about the other deal.

Again, the thread title is "Top Laptop Picks . . .", not netbook.

and erbaker67 thought he was nitpicking... there are only 4 of them listed, all of which fit on my screen for viewing. Not hard to discern. They are different deals and more money may not always equal better specs in the eyes of different people. People may have different retailer, brand, size, quality, OS... preferences.

Umm.. the title says 'Top LAPTOP Picks'. Considering a laptop is not a netbook, the logic is pretty straightforward as to why there are no netbooks here.

Good finds OP.

I think the deal from Staples is very good. Not only its a Dual COre but it also has more HD capacity 250 GB as compared to 160 GB at best buy. I got this deal for $275 becoz I had an old laptop which they took for $75. So no more waiting for me on the thanksgiving deals..

Hows that work out? You are talking about the $550 laptop that you saved $75 on and it was only $275? If you can tell me how that works... I will be out getting one today.
