BOING

Damn - Newegg, eWiz, Tiger Direct, etc all have them for $209ish.

Considering the store near me charges half the sales tax (3.5%) and that there is no shipping, I'll have to keep myself occupied at lunch time to avoid buying one.

I can see why you would worry. That is a great deal, would be tough to pass up.

It appears the i5 launch was not as successful as they had originally hoped, I can see how many of them will be in pricing wars now. Interesting how Intel has gone from a single socket to three of them at the moment.

That has to be the biggest problem... Not only burdening the consumer with knowing which upgrade path will work, etc... But looking semi out of touch with so many 'parallel' lines.
