Technology for Mortals

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  This post is going to change as things get updated.

• Samsung CLP-315 color laser printer @ Fry’s – $70
  I got this printer last year for $100, and I haven’t run out of toner yet.  Just getting the new toner from this is worth it.  It has no native networking capability, but you can just hook it up to a network print server appliance.
• Samsung CLX-3175FN Color Laser All-in-one appliance @ Fry’s – $150
  I’m assuming the “fn” means it has a fax and network interface.
• Gateway 10.1″ Netbook @ Fry’s – $178 (Note that this item probably requires showing up the night before and waiting all night.)
• 22″ Acer LCD display @ Fry’s – $100
• IOgear micro BlueTooth USB adapter @ Fry’s – $10 (free after rebate)
• 28″ Hanns LCD display @ Newegg – $260
  This thing uses Broadcom WIDCOMM drivers and supports A2DP stereo audio
• Canon Rebel T1i (AKA 500D) with 18-55mm lens @ Fry’s – $649
• Blu-Ray player @ Fry’s – $77 (claims to be “major brand”)
• 32″ Westinghouse 1366×768 HDTV @ Target – $246
  This is probably $100 cheaper than any 32″ HDTV (8-bit IPS panel) I’ve seen.  Anything smaller than this and it’s only a 6-bit TN type display.
• 32″ Emerson 1366×768 HDTV @ Walmart – $248
• 46″ Samsung 1080P LCD 60 Hz HDTV @ Walmart online – $799 (with shipping)
• 40″ Apex 1080P HDTV @ Target – $449
• Acer Aspire One A0751h-1279 11.6″ Netbook @ Target (available for order now) – $250
