Staples and Office Max have weekly specials on new laptops, well it seems Staples does. You can get a dual core / 4 gig RAM / 160 - 500 GB HD for under $400 if you watch for sales.
And this is for new iron. Unless you are looking for something specific that is now longer manufactured, I'd recommend taking this route.

In the market for a refurbished/used laptop, Dell Latitude or Lenovo
Thinkpad. Refurbs (factory) seem to be available only from the mfgr's
web site. Hate to spend that kind of money sight unseen. Aside from Red
Seven, who says they are out of stock, are there any *reliable* places
in the greater Phx area dealing in this stuff? By reliable I mean that a
lot of places outsource their refurbing or do it in house, sometimes
with mixed results. Any suggestions/experiences?
