On Saturday, Office Depot brought back their "Black Friday Pricing" and dropped the price down to $399 in-store only ($499 online) + they honored a Staples coupon for $50 off any laptop.

i still think the deal i got is the best option: ?topic=591091&page=5#15108711

i saw it come back up on slickdeals recently (slightly better deal, actually), but i'm too lazy to see if it's still going on
