Hi Tim,
Absolutely. Keep in mind that Laptops run a lot more than desktops because of all the proprietary and smaller parts. You can find great laptop deals in the $600-$999 range at
www.techbargains.com, www.thedailydeals.com, or
www.spoofee.com. These are 3 of the sites I check daily, and the offers only last a day or less.
I personally prefer the Dell brand for laptops. They make a decent laptop.
There's a high end laptop listed today:
"Inspiron 5150 P4M-3.2GHz HT 15" 512MB Laptop $1191 after $200MIR and 15% off coupon
