Also, offer might be limited to the CompUSA Megastore at

That's where the flyer is telling me to go since that's the closest Megastore to where I live. So, YMMV.

Can't find this exact model on Toshiba's website, so I guess it's on closeout.


This model sells for

$799 at JR.com

$739 (after $60 rebate) at Circuity City

$770 at some other places

This is a reference to the problems with Toshiba Notebooks.

Interestingly enough I don't see this exact model listed.

My buddy got one of theses. It works for what he needs it for, some simple coding, surfing the web, etc. It has lockup problems at times, not sure cause he has all the BS Toshiba ware loaded up or something.

Its a decent student notebook but if you can spare the change I would get one of those Dell deals.
