wkirschman said:My current laptop is a HP Pavillion dv6000 with AMD Turion 64X2 TL-50 1.60 GHz and
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 video. Would this be much of an upgrade? I want to use it mostly for imaging, video and Microsoft Flight Simulator.From CPU benchmark (Passmark CPU Mark), your current processor (64X2 TL-50) = 678, the new processor (T6400) = 1317. Benchmark on video card, current = 55, new video procesor would be 130. That said, if you are happy with performance of your current system, no need to upgrade. If you are looking for performance boost in your day to day use of your laptop, this looks like it would effectively double your processing power. You also get free upgrade to Windows 7 when available, so that's worth something right there  Nice thing about Costco, you can purchase it and if it doesn't meet your needs/expectations, you can bring it back. |

I bought a Toshiba laptop for my daughter 5 yrs ago. I thought it was pretty good deal at the time, so,I bought me one few days later. After 2 years, both screen went dead. I bought a third one 2 years ago, now the screen is dead. So, I would advise anyone buying Toshiba to beware of the screen problems that I had. |

I bought this on 6/29.. it effectively crashed today. I had to call customer service and have the whole thing restored to factory settings. The restore process is not going well, either. Keep getting stuck at the last step, been 2 hours now. Anyone else have similar issues? I think I might have to send this back for an exchange. |

I just got one today. There is no restore disk or any windows back up disk. I check on my Hard drive. There is no back up. Is this normal or my package missing the restore disk? |

Most companies stopped including OS disks a couple of years ago. You have to burn your own restore CD. |

Mine is still humming along. I've been pretty happy with it (it runs Vista much faster than my now dead thinkpad T61) for the week and a half I've had it, especially for $500. Throw in a costco warranty and it's an easy decision. |

Guest here, I am looking for a laptop that will be used as a secondary computer. Mostly something to keep downstairs that I can use to surf the net and do some scrapbooking on along with my daughter playing some of her web games (ie: playhouse disney sort of stuff). Would you say that this Toshiba at Costco would be a better deal than this Acer? |

Yes, and you wouldn't have to deal with TigerDirect! |

Is this in-store only? Can someone post the Costco Item number please? Does it have HDMI port? |

Anyone? Is this still on? My nearest costco is quite a drive. I was hoping to save a trip by calling early.. |

Costco is now selling a T6400 for $579.99 (after $100 rebate) which sounds like the same one you guys got for $100 cheaper last month. I just ordered it but am now feeling like I am getting ripped off. Is this the computer you all bought?

Costco is now selling the T6400 for $579.99 and that is after a $100 discount! Can anyone that bought the laptop tell me if this is the same one? I just ordered it and already feel ripped off if you all bought it for $499!

Costco Toshiba T6400 Check at the very bottom of the page, you'll see the model number for the item you ordered is L305-S5970
Which is different from the L305-S5946 that this thread was about.
How different? Not sure, but it shouldn't be too hard to find out. |

OK there is a difference.... The one that is being sold now for $579.99 (after $100 coupon) has the software (Microsoft Home and Student Student 2007) included. Just in case there are any potential buyers out there, they just lowered the price yesterday from $579.99 to $549.99. |
