I need 4 laptops, and I have $600 each to spend on them.
The requirements:
1: dual core CPU (can be AMD Turion, Intel Core Duo, whatever).
2: Windows Vista (at least Home Premium)
3: at least 1 gig RAM
4: built in WiFi
5: Lightscribe DVD burner
Anyone know where I can get 4 of those for $600 each?
All of these have Everything except Lightscribe capability: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5978910

This one is $749, but $579 after mail-in rebate

I'll put in a plug for the Compaq laptop I bought for $499. It's got everything except great battery life.
Call an account rep www.tigerdirect.com and ask for a competitive proposal.

I found a deal guys. Thanks for all the help. I got this one for $450 at Circuit City:

It doesn't list Lightscribe on the website, but it does in fact have it, so it met all my requirements for $150 less than I was hoping to pay...
