A Dell Studio 1737 laptop in Midnight Blue...Daddy is setting it up right now. Then I get to transfer all my crap from the old computer. (I am posting this from my dad's computer.)
I got it on sale at Staples for over $100 less than I would have paid if I ordered it through Dell with my B&N corporate discount. I also got Office 2007 Home and Student edition for $79.99 because I bought it with the computer ($150 list price, $99.99 regular sale price right now).
Too bad my dad wants the old computer back; I'd prefer to drop it off a bridge or something.
YAY!!!
Edit: Forgot the funny part. The employee got the computer, then went to get the Office package, and brought them both over to the register. He scanned the Office and realized he had grabbed the wrong ($400 pro) version, so he had to go get the right one. He took the computer box with him when he went (I'm sure they're not allowed to just leave them sitting at a register). Then he came back, finished ringing me up (had to call a supervisor to enter a code because of the high-dollar amount on my credit card), then we left. And set off the alarm. Wasn't the $600 computer, which I was carrying; it was the $80 software that my dad was carrying. OK, it's not really that funny but it amused me at the time.
