Of course it depends a bit on the remaining features (like RAM, >hard disk, DVD drive, etc.), but 2000$ is definitely completely outside the >acceptable range... > >Best regards - Munjong. Also screen card? this one for almost $2000, has above minimum things, like 60 GB hard drive, and double cd/dvd burner, and "more memory" (that's what he said over the phone), and, it's the 1.7 one, and not the 1.6 or 1.5. And..Israel taxes at 20% (I think that's apart from VAT), and, it's with a local gurantee, and it has 2 ways of internet connection (maybe the 56 modem is a third way. But not bluetooth). But I think that might make it about $1,200-300, besides the 20% tax, and that if I got it elsewhere it might cost me $400 less even with paying tax in Israel. Also, Is IBM good?
