I have one of these in Gateway that I like very much. Plan to use it today to pipe the Super Bowl. Mine was at $300 a while back. This one has more HD capacity than mine and it has a burner mine lacks. Plus I guess Tosh is better than Gateway (not sure). It's a mistake, and it's a big problem, necklacing these lappys by calling the processor a "Celeron". Don't these Intel idiots realize the negative connotation of the word "Celeron". They are marketing jackasses. This particular Celeron 540 runs great and will do most everything 'cept modern gaming. Like I said it will easily do TV. But they just keep right on calling it a Celeron. Well, I guess that helps to depress sales. Most people are too smart to buy a stinky Celeron. I almost was. |
Seems like a pretty good deal to me. The processor is more than enough in a $400 laptop, HD is above average at that price, and the DVD burner is nice as well. |
anyone jumping on this deal? anything better out there w/ price comparable? |
with so many deals with better processors for less than a hundred more, this is not that hot. but if you have to have it now and can barely scrap up the money I guess its OK |
This laptop should be $50-$100 less to be considered a deal. There has been many T2310 laptops with similar configuration for $400, so Celeron (while perfectly usable in a lower end machine) should not be selling for this price. |
it doesn't seem that bad. You have to get more memory for it though. That's probably about $475 after tax and memory. I got one of the $350 Gateways a few months ago and it ran fine with enough RAM. That is until the nice burglar came and stole that and my XBOX & Wii, and took the laptop as well. Tiger has a Lenovo for $599 after $150 rebate. That seems to be the best right now and I'm trying to talk myself into ordering one. Lenovo 3000 Y410 Laptop Computer - Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 1.66GHz, 802.11a/b/g Wireless, 2GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, Dual Layer DVD RW, 14.1" WXGA, Integrated Webcam, Windows Vista Home Premium |
Too many again are poo pooing the Celeron for no reason at all. Actually it would behoove Intel to rename it. |
just called my local BB to see if in stock, I'm jumping. This will be a perfect laptop for me. We already have a muscle desktop, so this will be a nice extra. Thanks op, GREEN for you! |
Anyone know if the comcast signup coupon for $100 off will scan and work at BB? |

CheapCheap1 said:Pass....I hate Celery ! What will slow you down on this laptop is Vista, ram and the hard drive. I don't think Vista should be put on laptops at all. Many times, it is not an option to install XP because many Toshiba laptops have hardware that does not support XP's drivers. For Vista, you would be 1G, XP 512m ram. The hard drive is decent at 5400rpm but is always the slowest component in a computer/laptop. There is also software issues that slow down computer even more. Most people are disgusted with their computer because its too "slow". Do a clean install of XP and see how all of a sudden it becomes "fast". Did the computer become faster? The software did. Take care of viruses and spyware, defrag, also check your msconfig startup files. So what I'm saying is that you have a whole lot of hardware and software to hate before you get to your processor. |

But my guess is the retailers want the Celeron so they can nonsensically dun it to upgrade the buyer to a hugher end machine. |
