So I picked-up a "salvage" laptop from the insurance co. I work for a little over a week ago. It had taken a good bump to the lower right corner of the machine and had crushed the Dual Layer DVD burner/combo drive inside. We occaisonally have the opportunity to purchase damaged or recovered items through a blind-bid process and I have scored a few nice things before but this is the best deal yet! Total investment is under $200.00 including the replacement drive and an AC adapter that was not included in the salvage package!! 1.73GHz Centrio /1GB of RAM 14.1" widescreen. It's pretty darn nice and only needs a little glue on the bottom case where it has a small crack and I will be done with the repairs. It is a lot lighter than my other laptop and a lot faster too. Now I just need to calibrate the monitor sceen with my buddy's Gretag Macbeth Eye One and I will have a little portable editing station! Sweet!
