When I bought my Dell Vostro 1000 for US$ 399 on Black Friday I was more then happy. I know that average laptops are not that expensive today but still it's hard to get such a good price, even after you spend a few hours looking for online offers on Black Friday.

But I wasn't as lucky with Amazon Vote 2007, I did not win the option to buy my favorite toy of the year, Sony's Playstation 3, or the HD Panasonic camcorder. Or maybe luck chooses different ways to come?

I got a message from a good friend yesterday, he had voted at Amazon after reading my article and won the option to buy a laptop, the HP Pavilion TX1305US, a 12.1" tablet PC actually. He wasn't interested on buying it and asked me if I wanted it. For US$ 299 it sounded like a good damn deal, regular price is between US$ 999 and US$ 1300.

So, I won my Amazon Vote option indirectly, thanks to a simple article I wrote here. Two laptops in a week for just US$ 698. Not bad, uh?

And what about the WAF? Screw the WAF! What do you think that your wife would tell if you've got two laptops, one for her and another for your daughter, for less than 700 bucks?
