UPDATE: Notebook is sold to a lucky Craigslist customer and is no longer available. (2009-02-03 12:57:56)

Well okay, it's not a phone but it has all the touchscreen eyecandy of an iPhone plus more! So I'm selling a brand new, upgraded HP TouchSmart tx2z notebook for $1,140 or your better offer. This notebook is the world's first consumer multi-touchscreen notebook that emulates the productivity and stylishness of the iPhone. I received this notebook as a holiday gift early December but have no need for it as I already have two other laptops. This notebook model with all the upgrades (listed below) costed the buyer $1,244 plus tax which came out to $1,350.

If you are interested or would like to make a better offer, send me a private message. Thanks!

ZipZoomFly selling Hitachi 1TB HD for $89.99 AR

Posted on October 08, 2008 by Denis

So two months ago, I thought I missed a great deal (which turned out to be a pricing error) from Dell -- a 1TB hard drive starting at $109.99. Lo and behold, ZipZoomFly is offering a even better one -- $89.99 1TB Hitachi HD after $30 mail-in-rebate (originally $119.99)!

Dell selling Seagate 1TB internal HD for $109.99

Posted on August 16, 2008 by Denis

UPDATE: I called Dell today and they told me my order will be cancelled because there was either a pricing error or they're sold out. What a bummer!!!

As of Aug 18th, evening: Some people have had theirs shipped. Most have orders that are "in production". Some have reported cancellation. My order status is "Order Processing" with estimated ship date August 19.
As of Aug 17th, evening: Deal is dead, the original link doesn't work now. Another link for the drive at $200 works. (2008-08-19 14:27:12)

Talk about perfect timing... just when my rig's 320GB external hard drive is almost at capacity, Dell offers this spectacular deal which I've just picked up:

$109.99 after instant discount for a Seagate 1TB (1,000 GB) internal HD before tax as compared to $179.99 original price. In addition, you can take an additional 4% off by using Dell Preferred Account. That's around $0.11 per gigabyte -- the lowest I've seen to-date. I figured that 1TB HD would last quite awhile and would be a good investment for those who do a lot of torrenting (like me).
