Toshiba Core i3 15.6″ Laptop Linky
This was $399.99 earlier today, $427.95 last week, and is now by far a record low price from Amazon.
-Intel Core i3-3217U Processor (3M Cache, 1.8 GHz)
-4 GB RAM
-500 GB Hard Drive
-15.6-Inch Screen
-Windows 8.1
-802.11BGN WiFi
-CD/DVD Burner/Reader
-4.85 pounds
Is this a price error?
is is considered good im clueless about laptops and I need one?
Very good price for a Core i3 laptop.
Anyone have a clue why the price dropped? Dan??
This is a better deal i believe a better processor, 2GB more Ram, and a bigger hard drive.
It is listed in their online weekly deals for 299.99, when you add to cart it becomes 349.99, I called them and they put the price back to 299.99.
It also includes a couple of decent freebies, sleeve, usb key, wireless mouse.
The price is on page 32 of the weekly deals, just reference that when calling them.
I just ordered one for my sister.
Here is the link for the ad.

@Ananymous, few want a laptop with Windows 8.1
I wish I never got my i5 with that OS.
@ABC:
So install Windows 7, not a big deal.
Classic Shell will make it seem like windows 7 again, which is the issue most people have with windows 8.
Thanx @dan for making the link 🙂
Which is better, best buy or amazon deal?
i got it on best buy had to call twice and got a supervisor to change it
@shmata head: you placed the order first and then they adjusted or you placed the order over the phone? Thanks!
I called Best Buy twice. At first they couldn’t access their own “weekly deals” catalog. The second time I was told there is a “known issue” with this bundle and so I could only get it in the store, that there was no way to get that price online. Each time was about a half hour wait, with nothing to show for it. If your time is valuable, go with Amazon and not the Best Buy clowns.
Dead 🙁
@Moshe:
Looks alive to me.
Third time’s a charm. I called and got Susan who is actually on the ball. She fixed it for me in 5 minutes. I guess I decided my time isn’t that valuable after all.
I called best buy and they sold it to me for $299.99. I prefer Amazon however there is a 3-6 week delay on shipping
@Anonymous2: same with me. I used the chat and of corse was very charming and allow of sweet talk. The amazon deal is 3-6 week lead time
In my experience Amazon ships much faster that the stated delayed ship time.
@Dan,
Easier said than done going from Win8 to Win7.
