I'm just not a fan of the low end Toshibas - refurbed at that. Does it need to be a laptop?

Slickdeals is great. Only serious problem with Slickdeals is sometimes it is too easy to buy things. Just doing my part to prop up the world's economy . Shortage of good laptop deals. If you are not in a rush, check SD twice per day. A desktop will typically have better performance than a laptop, especially for the same money. If you do not need to be portable, go with a desktop every time.

Would you consider a netbook? I have an upgraded Dell Mini 9 that would be well under your budget.

Thanks John. Talked it over with my daughter and she definitely wants a laptop. Also found this link from techbargains.com for a Dell $379.

Dell Inspiron 15 Intel Dual-Core T4400 2.2GHz 15.6in Laptop (3GB/160GB/Win 7) $379.95 Deal - Reviews and Compare Prices

Will wait on the Sunday fliers and maybe go for it.

Good deal John. Thanks for the heads up. Already picked up an HP from Staples last week.
