That laptop you showed Valve, is VERY good for that price. Wish I could buy it, but can't. I tried to click on that link you gave me, and gave me this message:



    I'll do some more research over the next days, but thanks a lot of that Valve. I really appreciate it.
    Costco does offer some great prices on stuff, and their prices are much lower than other shops. I know Costco is in England, just north of London, so if you have relatives or friends returning from there, maybe they can check out Costco London for you.

    Whoa.

    I was just out laptop shopping. Got two quotes in front of me right now.

    HP Envy 14.5 @ $2400NZD i5-450M 4gb RAM ATI 5650
    Toshiba L650 @ $1800NZD i5-460M 4gb RAM ATI 5650

    No blu ray, I feel so ripped off... Stuff is so much cheaper everywhere else.

    Definitely, that should be a good idea. In fact, I might be going to UK in the next couple of months, so probably will check that out for myself. Thanks Valve.

    Costco has great deals. Give yourself enough time to check out items that you've bought, and if you are not happy, just take it back for a refund.

    Don't forget, it is for members only, so you have to go with a member, or join to get in. Here, it costs $60 to join.
