where to get a notebook pc?

I'm looking to get a new notebook PC of decent power and ability (looking to spend under $1000). Can anybody give me any good suggestions or places to look for the best opportunities and deals? I've tried places like slickdeals.net, ableshopper.com, and pricewatch.com....but still no real luck.

Thanks for your help!

Here is an old thread we had about someone wanting a laptop advice. You might find some of the info useful

I personally would either get an IBM thinkpad or a toshiba.

With out a doubt, BestBuy if you don't mind waiting for rebates. They have a really good, trustful rebate system. Check the weekly flier or online. My son bought my oldest daughter (poor doc student) a toshiba three weeks ago for $449. They have'nt duplicated that deal since but you want a better one anyway. Good Luck!
