Toshiba S157

$100 Mail-in rebate link doesn't work, any idea?

Final price could be $799 with free shipping..

 

[Dragnov]

Oh man, very nice. Just about what I'm looking for but I'm too poor at the moment.

 

[aoLhaTer]

<< Too low to display >>


wtf? lol

 

[Kerouactivist]

Scorching hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KrayzyAzn]

hot hot.. but i already went for the Dell 8100 deal. I guess the Dell is worth it for the video card.

 

[Kerouactivist]

Yeah, I want something I can sorta play games at least on a limited basis. but, it is an awesome deal for someone who doesn't plan on playing games!!!!!!!

 

[Spackle]

fixed rebate link!

noticed they had "01,02" (not "01.02") on another (working) toshiba rebate link. bingo.

if you go to the web-rebates.com link, you can "pre-certify" your rebate and, allegedly, speed it along.

ordered & thx infinitelight.

rebate information here.

good deal!

quick note for those "on the fence" who are put off by the listed 8m of
video ram:

latest intel drivers allow for 32m or 48m of video ram (depending on total
amount of system memory)

check it here

saw a google post that claims a 74% increase in q3 framerate, from a
playable 34fps to a decent (for $800 laptop!) 51fps with this driver set.

 

[Kerouactivist]

does that mean that this machine would play CS halflife ETC.....

 

[RobSay]

If anyone still has a 10% off one-time use coupon that amazon recently emailed out then this will be a really hot deal. Too bad I used it already last week on another order.

 

[hojoasami]

Is this really a good deal???? I can't decide if you should go for it or not. It's either this or the inspiron 4100, but that's an extra $400 at least...what should I do???

 

[Kerouactivist]

keep in mind that you will have to purchase a ethernet card and it has a Nimh battery not a lithium one which hurts battery life and Nimh battery's usually don't hold up as well but, for $799 after rebate it is hard to beat.

If I didn't want to game on the lappy I get I would definitely have no qualms about getting this laptop espically at that awesome price.

If your not gaming this laptop is OK. It is quite heavy for a laptop with a 14 inch screen. The Intel 830MG video is not very good. Even with sharing 48 MB of system ram it still scores worse than a 16MB dedicated video card in 3dMark 2002. The NiMh battery is not very desirable. Only a 15 MB harddrive. Basically for a non multimedia, non gaming, user on a budget it is a decent deal. But there is a reason it is so cheap. Don't worry KrayzyAzn you got a much better system with the 8100 deal for many more reasons than the video card. This Toshiba is not in the same league.

Does anyone know if this laptop has some form of video out so you can hook it to a tv to watch dvds?
