USA. My son is going back to collage on Monday and he's taking my backup laptop with him so I need to replace it fast.
I do not mind ordering online but would like to buy one at a local store.

Nice specs for the price !
80 gb hard drive is very small , you should choose a bigger one , like 160. 80 gb would last less than a month.

A bigger drive would be nice but I use a USB drive to hold all my music and thats 500gb and only leaves me with 125gb free.
I like the 2gb memory.
The links ubove have others that are on sale in the AM if you see something eles that would be good. 5am is coming soon.
