1. Sounds like an awesome deal to me

provided the seller's reliable and there's a warranty you can count on.

2. he is and there is a 90 day on it, I'm really considering it hard n/t

3. Doesn't sound bad,

if you don't mind the smaller screen size. I think it's a nice deal. :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

4. i have a compaq Evo N400c now, the Toshiba's screen will look HUGH!

comparatively

:rofl:

6. Then you'll be very happy.

Go for it, I say. The price is good.

5. I don't see where screen size is listed

if its its 12" then I might say no, but it depends on what you want to use it for too I guess

[NMDemDist2]

7. it has a 14" screen, my current notebook is 12.1 so it's bigger for sure

than what I'm used to

i use it for ebay and DU, what else is there??? :rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

8. kicking cuz i'm in need of more imput

useful or otherwise :rofl:

9. Personally, I'd spend a little more for a lot more laptop

I got a brand new sony w/ a 15.4 widescreen and a DVD burner for $850 at BestBuy a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I looked at used and refurbs but they were't much cheaper than a decent new one and there was a big loss in features and upgrade in risk.

[Kid OfThe Black Hole]

10. the thing is the features are pretty good for $600

although 90 day warranty is essentially not a warranty...

[NMDemDist2]

11. it's just against "infant mortality" and more than I got with my compaq

which i also bought as a business lease return

[LeftyMom]

12. Yeah, but $150 more for way more screen, a burner and twice the hard drive

is a good investment, in my eyes. It'll be longer before it's time to upgrade.

[NMDemDist2]

13. wow $850? for a Sony? with a Pentium? what a great deal!!

[LeftyMom]

14. It's only a celeron M chip

Still does everything I need, though.

[NMDemDist2]

15. one of the other things I like about this one is it has XP Pro loaded

and it's a clean machine. I kinda hate new new cuz they come loaded with so much "free" (read AOL) crap that gives me fits trying to pare it down to lean and mean

but you still got a screaming deal! but I'm choking at the $650 this one's gonna cost (even though I really do need to upgrade my old P3)
