It might be, but EverythingLinux have them for $635. ^_^

$635 is the best (and one of the few) prices I've seen for the 5500 so far.
(And mail order from elsewhere in Aus is "local" enough too. ^_^)

Oooh! Well, I think the SL-C7[56]0's would be much better (Mmmmm, wide 
screen), but price is an issue here. I'd rather not stray over $500 by much. 
$635 is reasonable, but I'd get it cheaper elsewhere if it was available. ^_^

Actually, reading up on dynamism.com on those new ones has me drooling even 
more, but they're way out of my current budget range. Maybe later...

The 5600 would be nice (over the 5500), but I doubt I'd get it anywhere near 
$635 - and the main difference seems to just be CPU speed.

I might just have to go visit Hardly Normal some time soon...
