What a buy, what a buy.  Our friends at Best Buy are offering a mid-summer sale on laptops, selling for as low as $350.  This makes me regret my $700 purchase I made just a few month ago. You only hear about those great deals after the return window has passed.  The question is then, just what computer is available for $350?  Here’s the Sale Link – Laptops As Low As $349.99. Valid 7/19-7/25 and the details…

The Toshiba Satellite Laptop with Intel Celeron Processor in Onyx Blue comes for this sad, sad low price.  (I say sad because I’m typing this post out from a $700 HP.)  If I think about it, my machine could use a sister laptop.  This deal almost beats the Dell I seen at Best Buy that was going for $299.  Here is a little sample of some specs and features for the Toshiba in question:
