If I were to buy it now, will they refund the difference?

[tomtomtom]

yes..will refund the diff.

But the processor is really old. My sis's dell, bought 1 1/2 years ago uses this processor.

I bought it for 399 as well.

[shipill]

not a bad deal . as someone mentioned the processore is very old .

[aingaran]

It's for my gf.. Strictly web browsing, watching videos, listening to music and ms office.. Nothing else.

[Koslov]

Is it only for calgary?>
If not, I might buy one tomorrow then

[Chipbug]

not a bad deal . but as someone mentioned the processore is very old .

Yes, the CPU is old but it is still dual core. For normal web browsing or word processing, it is more than enough.

As a RFD member, I do not buy and rent any house in Calgary for last 2 years. It is no bargain at all. I am waiting "Hot Deals Calgary House" and I am sure it is coming real soon.......
