From: dr. Baf on 10 Aug 2010 16:57 Mrs. Baf was going blind trying to use her small notebook and I convinced her to get a full size lap top. Her purses, shoe & sunglasses are all the big named items. I know she wouldn't be happy with a HP, but the white Sony Vaio was her second choice, she would have preferred a Mac. Myself I use a HP desk top. She settled on a VPCEE23FX/WI. After hunting the net for the best possible price (sales tax vs no sales tax, shipping vs free shipping) we decided on Walmart who stocks the black version for $599 at their local stores. Before going to Walmart we decided to stop by Fry's even though a search of Fry's web site turned up zilch. The sales person at Fry's asked what we had in mind and I gave him the model number and he came up with one for only $499 in stock. This is a heads up to visitors & locals, if you don't see it at Fry's, ask for it by model number. I could have saved much time and asked Walt, as he is the champion sleuth of best prices. dr. Baf

In this case, I would have just said to spring for the Mac, since I've been using Apples for thirty years. I assume Mrs. Baf's old notebook doesn't have a port to hook up an external monitor. --- Walt
