#5 Posted: 3/27/2012 1:29:56 PM I bought my last laptop and one for my son from best buy
I usually shop ebay for anything, but I cannot beat the pc deals at best buy. Last couple laptops I bought were $350-$400. I don't know why people pay double that. Works really good. Mine was a Sony Vaio and the boys got a Toshiba |

#9 Posted: 6/12/2012 7:16:33 PM The very best value for budget laptops is by far TOSHIBA
They are getting the very best ratings for durability (yes over IBM, DELL, and HP)
They have TONS of models you can catch for $350 - $400 if you don't mind ebay
I bought my sons a couple low end Toshibas and they work great.
