Good time to buy a laptop in Oz
This article in the SMH says laptop prices are at an all-time low at the moment. Specifically mentions an Acer lappie that's going for $790. That's a good brand and a very good price. If you've been waiting to take the plung, might be the time to do is, since industry analysts quoted in the article say that this current price can't carry on.
