In a post that started off with mention of AMD processors, I totally forgot about there being AMD powered 64 bit notebooks that already have a price below $1000. For example, this $930 15" HP Pavilion at Circuit City (DV6119US), which is currently on sale for $830. That looks to also be a dual core, judging by the name.
That said, I'm still going to hold out. There will be deeper discounts during the holiday shopping season. There might be coupons for a free or discounted upgrade to Windows Vista -- provided I don't purchase an Apple. And on the Apple front, I doubt they can possibly get away without updating to Core 2 Duo before Christmas, despite their tendencies to hold updates to after January's MacWorld conference. (Why not? See the $930 HP Pavilion, or any other notebook from a major manufacturer.)
