Is $399 the new $999? It certainly seems that’s the unofficial entry level price for computers these days. Nearly all the hot deals that I’ve seen online for either desktops or laptops seem to hover around this magical starting point. Of course you can always add on more capacity but for this price you can get a machine like the Dell Vostro 420 with 2.8 GHZ Core 2 Duo with 19″ LCD (remember when an LCD like this would have cost more than the total system price of this deal??). There’s also 2GB of DDR2 SDRAM 800MHZ and free GPS Roadmate 1220. Shipping however is $35. Use coupon code PS41S3BF?8?XC3 which expires midnight 5/29/09. via GearSponsor LogicBuy.
