Presario 2199us Notebook
AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ 2.13GHz Processor
512MB RAM
40GB Hard Drive
15-inch XGA TFT Display
DVD / CD-RW Combo Drive
Windows XP Home Edition

Price: $699.97 after $450 in rebates, and they're real, regular rebates (not
"Sign up for 100 years of AOL to qualify").

So you're saying, "This is the Thinkpad list!"; right -- I'm a Thinkpad
loyalist, too. But I note that the closest I can come to this machine on
www.pc.ibm.com costs more than twice as much, and wonder...why is this beast
so cheap? Compaq is pretty mainstream; this isn't Bob's Notebooks...
