MegaZone — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 08:35:14 +0000

This is almost tempting enough to get me to sign up for another credit card. Amazon is getting into the back to school spirit, and clearly trying to sign up more card holders, by offering 20% off office & school supplies through August 31, 2011 – but only if you use your Amazon card. Now, when I think of office & school supplies I tend to think of pens, paper, notebooks, rulers, etc. But I guess I think too old-fashioned, or just too small, because the offer includes desktop PCs, laptops, tablets, and netbooks! And, yes, pens, paper, notebooks, paper clips, binders, and all the mundane stuff. All the top computer and tablet vendors are part of the promotion, so if you’ve been thinking about picking up a new tablet or laptop – get an Amazon Rewards Visa and take 20% off!

Must resist… have wedding to save for… Wait, my fiancee does have an Amazon Rewards Visa Card. Oh, honey…

HP 15.6″ Laptop with AMD E-Series Processor $329.99 at Best Buy

MegaZone — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 08:31:06 +0000

This seems like a decent deal on a ultraportable laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. It is using AMD’s new E-Series APU – integrated dual-CPU cores running at 1.6GHz & GPU. The GPU is equivalent to Radeon HD 6310 graphics. It is no powerhouse by any means, but it’ll handle most use just fine, and the AMD E-Series provides better graphics performance than most ultraportables while keeping power draw down.

HP Laptop with AMD E-Series Processor, 15.6” Screen Size, 3GB Memory and 320GB Hard Drive, Just $329.99.
