Deals I’m Eyeing

A few good deals I’ve run into today:

  • VMware Fusion 1.0, $19.99 after rebate. Who would want Fusion 1.0 when 2.0 was out? Perhaps anyone who noticed that Fusion 1.0 owners get a free upgrade to 2.0
  • 22″ Dell LCD, 1920×1080, $139.99 with free shipping. I have two monitors at this resolution (sadly, not a pair: one’s at work, one’s at home), and got steals on both of them — and yet they cost more than this one. If you’re in the market for a new monitor, you’d be insane to get anything with a lower resolution.
  • Kingston V-Series 128 GB SSD, $249.99. It is supposedly one of the more recent drives where people stopped designing SSDs for raw throughput, and started working on eliminating the “stutter” problem where drives would periodically take a few seconds to write out a tiny block of data, bringing things to a screeching halt. It still claims 80-100MB/sec., but without the awful stutter that drives with faster throughput claim. (That said, I haven’t tested this, since I’m yet to buy one.)
