On a side note to the original post, (Clicked Submit accidentallytoo early), which is at 8/20 Laptop Deal
They also have the M105-S3041 which has the same specs but 14" LCD instead of 15.4" and DVD Burner as opposed to the combo drive.

Also a good upgrade with the $499.99 is 1GB Laptop Ram (Kingston) for $89.99

Just my 2 cents.

Hopefully their site hasn't been updated because at this time...

clicking on your link gets me the Toshiba showing a price of $479.99. No mention of the Lexmark printer.

going through the ad online (where it is described as T1350 notebook with printer $499.99) and clicking on "buy online" takes you to a page that has nothing to do with the computer OR the printer (it's about a notebook case for $19.99 with purchase of notebook models other than the T1350).

going to bestbuy.com and searching for 7907768 gets "sorry, no matches."

Sigh. Maybe later.

Confirm from anyone who has been to the store?

Is the 14" also supposed to be $499 ?

 

[billyclaymyers]

Okay - Update:

14" is $599.99 for that you get extra 20GB HDD (60 -> 80) and a DVD Burner. On the minus you go from 15.4" to 14" both are brightview.

I just got the $499.99 one but it was actually $479.99 instore. The store in Victoria, TX does not have any of the lexmark printers which was just as well since I did not want one anyway. I got the first one and everyone after me seemed very interested in the printer...Not sure how it will turn out.

I also got the 1GB DDR2 SODIMM for $89.99 and good news, the 512MB in the notebook is a single dimm. I popped in the kingston and am at 1.5GB no problem.

About to wipe it out and reload without all the crap. FYI Toshiba provides a Restore DVD w/ Drivers unlike HP which has you make them. On a Laptop with no DVD Burner it takes 13. I think not.

Anymore questions and I will be happy to answer.

I went to the Ikea near Pittsburgh and stopped at the Best Buy there. They had the laptop price listed as $479 instead of $499.
