During a trip to Best Buy today, I went looking for some laptops. I noticed that the huge cages up high were completely empty, and the selection didn't seem to be that great. I talked to one of the employees, and he said that Best Buy is trying to clear out their remaining laptops within the next 2 weeks in order to make room for Vista machines. So it might be a good time to look around and see if they have any nice clearance prices.
I wish there was an easy way to check prices. They don't even seem to advertise half the models they have in the store.
