Toshiba Satellite 17.3” 720p HD+ Laptop with 2.0GHz Processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB HD and SuperMulti DVD Burner $300 + Free Shipping

Quote from kishmich : 17" with these specs, you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else for less than $500.

One of the best deals I found looking at 17" laptops recently.

Quote from BIGFOOT_PI : thumbs down for not mentioning that its Manufacturer Recertified 90 Day Toshiba Warranty

Hmmmm? I'm not that savvy, and I backed off when I saw it was refurb - but a TD for not listing that?? Really?? Like I said, I'm NOT savvy, and I figured that out. I don't really see the need to place a disclaimer on EVERY SD post like "If you're too stupid to figure anything out, please go to another site and ignore all of these deals".

Just making a point - or trying to.

Thanks Selma - good post - keep 'em coming.

Noting that it's refurbished is a critical part of the description. Whatever Selma is (man, woman, child, cyborg, dealbot, etc.), it should post the specifics. I've gotten some deals from Selma, but in most cases someone else would have posted the same item and probably with more information.

Actually, Radio Shack has this same computer for $30 less. [radioshack.com]

Even better

And there's this if you're really ambitious: $50 Rebate [microcenter.com]
It, however, doesn't work at Radio Shack - see the excluded retailers on form. So, the goal would be to find someone to price match, and then use the rebate. I already tried at Staples today, but no go.

Not really trying to defend Selma - as I have no clue who that is - but the ad did not actually have an indication that it was refurbished, so unless they checked it out more, Selma would not have known that. I checked it out and found that info on another site than the one she referenced. Maybe just an oversight on Selma's part - but shouldn't be criticized too much for not revealing info that wasn't offered on that site. Just sayin'.
