Limit on price for new laptop?

[taichichuan]

Hi Gang,

I've been trying to find the thread but with no luck. If we want to use a laptop other than the classmate for our driver station in competition, what is the limit for it's price? I seem to remember something about no more than $400 retail (I assume that a $600 laptop on sale for $399 doesn't count?). Can someone point me to the rule where this is laid out? Also, does the laptop count as part of our BOM price limitation?

TIA,

Mike
