That actually happens to items that staples is clearing out. As Lasy week a Dell 14R with i5 was selling for $449, and then prob once it was sold out was displaying the page generic error

Darn, so I guess I'm going to need another deal unless I am willing to go (or call) every Staples in my area

What else you got up your sleeve?

I looking for a well priced desktop but all the deals are for win7 home premium computers. I need win pro with XP virtualization, but it seems that no bm stores even have deals on them. How simple would it be to just buy any computer and upgrade to pro? Would this method be cost effective?
Any advice would be appreciated TIA

Not hard to upgrade, but if you do it "kosher" it may end up costing 25% the cost of the sub-$500 computer.

smurf · « **Reply #11 on:** February 02, 2012, 01:47:17 PM »

I'm in staples now, the anytime upgrade from home premium to pro is $90

OK so ~20-25%...

Better?

Lenovo has a All-In-One Deal, i think it may be expiring tonight.

This is a great deal on an all in one, its not a powerfull machine but with 6gb ram and a whole pc packed into one nice screen its def worth it. so unless you like the clutter of wires or if you need to do heavy video gaming/editing or photo editing - this computer should be fine for you.

If link dosnt work just search for 30952AU

add to cart for $799.00
$110.00 instant off
$210.00 off w/coupon code USPC32A0126 (Ends 02/02)
$479.00

Its just fine for basic computing. For your average computer user this will do, its nice and sleek and has no clutter.
