Great deals…until you note that the OS is Vista!!! Be warned.
No way, those “duel” cores will be shooting at each other ’till one is dead.
There is definitely an epidemic of stupid (or at least illiteracy) going around. There was a time when copywriters actually had to know English.
HAHAHAHAHH! They totally did make a major typo on the ad!!!!
I noticd the typo as well but Ted beat me to it 🙂
hello, i need a new laptop and I was wondering if these are any good?/////

———————————-
Note: I am not someone who shops for computers on a regular basis. There may be better deals around at this point in time. I don’t know as I am not currently in the market for a new laptop. But I will give you my opinion anyway.
“Good” is of course a relative term. If you are looking for a gaming machine, look elsewhere. If you are looking for something with web connectivity that is supremely portable, then these may be the ticket. $400 is a pretty darned good price.
My personal preference would be the HP as I like having a bigger screen. Less RAM but 3GB versus 4GB is not a huge loss for your average computing. It has a faster CPU as well, as you can see from the following chart
(HP has a T4300 scored at 1.422, the Toshiba a T4200 scored at 1.255)

Check them out.
I canceled my order. Just check Future Shop where I saw their ad for a Toshiba amd dual core 15inch 4gig 500mb and windows 7 for only $449…. just $50 more and it is brand new where the Toshiba at The Source was a demo model.
What made me put in a order was the netbook for $99. Which is a great deal. I have a netbook and laptop and love taking my netbook everywhere I go… it fits in my purse!!!! Love going into a cafe and asking if they have wifi and getting weird looks until I take out the netbook. I was planning to give the netbook as a gift and getting the laptop to replace my older Acer lappie with only 1gig of ram and windows vista… plus one of the keys came off. I would glue it back since I can’t find locally anywhere that sells those plastic thingies behind the keys. Than I would gift my mom my old lappie…let her use it to surf the net… I want her to get back onto a computer and all.
