help me find a good deal
My wife needs a new laptop. Must be light enough to go to school but fast. Touchscreen would be cool, but price is important... any tech gurus here?

Updated very often, has quite a few good deals, occasionally great deals. If you have time to wait, check it often and wait until some great deals come about.
