I am in the market for a laptop but being like most Americans I want to pay the least amount of money for the best product. :=) For example. I needed Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended but couldn't afford 1,000 but after doing some research they had an academic discount for only 299.99 but I had to send in proof I was in school. Is there anything like that with laptops? I'm not into Macs and the 2.5% appears to be a joke...thanks anyways
