WTB: Laptop

I know GHoosdum has one on the board, but its a little more machine than I need - especially the video - and its temporarily off the market &/or spoken for. All I'm looking for is:

512M memory
Windows
MS-Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
Wireless network card

I've seen some decent deals over the counter, and maybe that's the best way to go for an entry-level machine. I'm starting my own business and am on a bit of a shoestring at the moment though, so I thought I'd explore all my options.

Many thanks! :)

    Keep an eye on the Sunday circulars. I've recently seen some decent deals that fit your description for around $500-$600, without Office installed. Office won't be cheap, but check out this option:

    GH, sorry to hear about your PC troubles; hope you get things sorted out soon...

    I've been keeping an eye on sales and whatnot. Just a matter of deciding when to pull the trigger. Thanks for the heads-up on OpenOffice - that looks promising (not to mention cost-effective!).

    Thanks for the well-wishes.

    Good luck with the sales, often it's really surprising how inexpensive a nice laptop can be these days.
