x61

What could you get for $700? Well, you could get a busted, stained MacBook off Craigslist, you could get a brand new Samsung NC20, or you could get an honest-to-god convertible touchscreen laptop. Not the latest model (far from it) but buddy, it’s a swivel-screen tablet PC! For $649!

These systems can be quite expensive, but right now you can apparently take over $1000 off and get one for a pretty ridiculous price. Even with only a 12.1″ 1024×768 screen and a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo, this is a sweet deal. I’d recommend upping that RAM, though.
