Was going to get something like this for my folks, however, looks like its jumped back up.

http://www.myfind.com/Electrical/Computers/eMachine-eME732Z-…

occasionally things pop up, so i dont mind waiting, only requirements she had was she can use it for email/surfing and document editing and a cd writer so she could make her own CDs from the CDs she owns. (DVD writer would be a plus)
so its pretty much a low end machine. the only thing i'd add if possible TV out (standard pal) &HDMI if possible but not essential.

preferably new…

cant believe the one from myfind went up though! might give them a call to see if they can still do it at that price if it has a writer.

    Not sure about the brand though

    All notebooks that have a built in optical drive always has a DVD burner installed.

    DVD-ROM and CD-ROM drives are no longer in production, you won't find them anywhere now (except perhaps the scrap or on eBay).

    Harvey Norman and Joyce Mane seem to be offloading 2 for $500 laptops, maybe see them?

    knew something would come up sooner or later…probably not as good as the myfind one, (if it had an optical drive) but couldnt find any details about the myfind one…

      Yeah, pretty much all laptops (that arn't netbooks) have DVD optical drives, but none the less, being Toshiba, better quality brand, even though it's the older pentium. Good find!

        nah, the P6100 are based on the i3… so not too old. have a look at the comparison, just have a few features cut off them.
