Dell.ca has hot deal for you this morning! The Vostro 1220 12.1" notebook with a P8600 processor, 3GB RAM, and a 250GB 7200RPM hard drive with free fall sensor is $749.00. If you checkout with PayPal, you can get $50 cash back, too. Students heading back to school will definitely want to give this a second look.
  • Windows Vista Home Basic
  • Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz, 3MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) 25w
  • Obsidian Black
  • 12.1" WXGA LCD Display with TrueLife
  • Integrated 1.3MP Webcam and Digital Mic with webcam and video chat software
  • 3GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz, 2 DIMM
  • 250GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with Free Fall Sensor
  • Obsidian Black with 12.1" WXGA LCD Display with TrueLife
  • 8X DVD+/-RW DVD+/-R Roxio and Cyberlink PowerDVD DX 8.2
  • Dell Wireless 1397 802.11b/g Mini Card
  • 4-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
The P8600, 3GB RAM, and hard drive are nice to see on the hardware side. Upgrade wise, you might want to consider Vista Home Premium ($40) to qualify for Windows 7 down the road, and a 6-cell battery ($60). A review at PCAdvisor.co.uk mentions good battery life and speed. They conclude that "if you want a small laptop but yearn for more performance than a netbook can provide, the Dell Vostro 1220 is an excellent option". We're in full agreement with that assessment.

Overall, $699 (give or take, since you do pay the tax on $749 before getting the PayPal cash back) is a very impressive price for a P8600 equipped 12" notebook. The same configuration was $799 two weeks ago and that was considered pretty hot already!
