Just out of curiosity, I checked the compusa website. Here's 2 items:

Used Vaio: Intel Pentium III Processor, 800MHz, 128MB RAM, 15GB Hard
Drive, 14.1-inch XGA TFT LCD Display, CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive -- $949

New Toshiba Satellite: Intel Celeron Processor, 2.8GHz, 256MB RAM, 40GB
Hard Drive, 15-inch XGA TFT Display, 8X DVD / 24X10X24 CD-RW Combo Drive
-- $999

YMMV.
