OP, I'd insult you, but it is not cool to insult the mentally handicapped.

Stop by at 6am, wait for him to come out, beat him senseless and take the laptop for yourself.

379 Toshiba what?



This?


WOW! It even comes with a special offer of a 6'5" USB cable for $25????!?!?! AMAZING!

Still, $270 off the regular price, I guess that's not too bad.
Though I'd never camp outside a store unless they were offering a lot more than that.

I wonder what the wealthy executives make of this camping-out behavior.
"Little people, willing to sleep outside on a sidewalk, just to save a mere $280."

Go ahead, don't hold back, they want to be treated just like every one else.


OP, I hope you catch lupus.

I'll agree that the cpu is crap, but toshiba laptops are fine if they have an intel CPU. As far as intergrated video being crappy, that's par for the course unless you want to spend at least $900 or more on the laptop.

I find it rediculous that anyone would wait in line for these products. If you wait a week or 2 you can get as good if not better deals when the retailers try to make up for lagging sales. I bought my laptop after x-mas 2 years ago and got a 17" wide screen for $500.

OP,

What is your time worth? Apparently not very much. This year's offerings are so bad that it's amazing. The economy is in the crapper and you would think that retailers would be deeply discounting pretty much everything they have in stock.

Yawn ...
