PCMag.com Bargain Hunt - This week, Small Business Laptops

DIGITAL CAMERAS LAPTOPS MP3 PLAYERS CELL PHONES PRINTERS DESKTOPS HDTVS PCMag.com Techsaver February 27 , 2009       ADVERTISEMENT D-Link® Wireless N HD Media Center Extender Stream music, photos, and HD videos stored on a PC to your home entertainment center over a wireless Draft 802.11n or wired Ethernet network. This Week - Small Business Laptops Small business users, especially those on the run, need powerful laptops to get the job done. But times are hard and cash is short, so finding the perfect business laptop for a low price is a necessity. With that said, we found three powerful systems that have dropped considerably in price in the last few months -- some for more than 50 percent off. Dell Vostro 1310 Was: $1,258 Is: $599 (direct from Dell) Savings: $659 (52.4 percent) Why You Want It: The Vostro 1310 is a great start-up machine, especially because it has a "no trialware" policy. In addition, the unit is lightweight, has an impressive industrial design, and a discrete graphics option. HP EliteBook 6930p Was: $2,104 Is: $1,024 (from iUnitek) Savings: $1,080 (51.3 percent) Why You Want It: The EliteBook 6930p is a unit meant for elite business users (or those who want to feel like one). It has a fast hard drive, ample wireless options, terrific resolution, and a ruggedized exterior. This incredible price reflects a slightly less-powerful processor than our review model, but makes up for it with twice the RAM. Dell Latitude E6400 Was: $1,888 Is: $1,369 (direct from Dell) Savings: $519 (27.5 percent) Why You Want It: The Latitude E6400 is the perfect laptop for users with a priority for comfort -- the laptop has first-rate keyboard and mouse buttons. It also has an anti-glare screen and excellent battery life.

Don't know what a mule skinner is? Officially, it is any worker who drives

boats up a canal located in the park. Some of these workers have to get Coast
