Thanks, you guys - this isn't a need-it-yesterday thing but I would like to be ready to pull the trigger fairly soon -

Hopefully prices will continue to drop after the new year - a friend picked up a HP HDX 9300 which was impressive and pretty hefty but so was the price.

So should I limit brands to watch to say HP and Gateway and forget Dell - Lenovo sounds great but it sounds a little beyond what we've allotted ourselves to spend.

The vendor I would guess matters little since it's gonna be basically price-driven -

Last question (I promise) - I guess no one bundles them with Office which is what we'd prefer and the wireless LAN isn't always a common feature - my apologies, just trying to make a semi-educated choice.


Thanks again, men - all the input is greatly appreciated!
