Quote from realdreams : have been using native 1440x900 for 6 years.... In no way I said it needed to be 1080P, but 1366x768 is a joke...

To each his own. I've been running 1366 on 15" laptops for years and find it works well for everything I need to do. Going up to 1440x900 doesn't buy you that much more screen space and 1920 makes everything too small. I run 720P videos and do all kinds of web surfing and casual game playing with no issues. If you want to shell out a bunch of money for a non-standard resolution, be my guest but the reality is that around 80-90% of 15" laptops sold are going to be at 1366x768 and most people are going to be just fine with it.

$40 ink rewards shouldn't be treated like a discount (it's like using a gift card so just another method of payment). The 20% discount is just a benefit of another company - if it isn't shared then you can't school us on it

How does this compare to the Lenovo deal that OD won't match?

$75.00 expires today?

Dang. I am late for the party. The coupon expires tonight. I planned to go tomorrow. My Staples has in stock. Sometimes staples coupon has an extra day of expiration date. Hope coupon still works tomorrow.

Coupon should still fine for 2 more days assuming your cashier will scan it.

bought one and used OD's 20 off 100 coupon for a final price of 259 after tax

Try checking out this page. Refresh will reset Windows, but keep all your personal files and settings. Reset will re-install Windows completely and you will lose all files.

Quote from merkurfan : I bought this one.. http://www.staples.com/Toshiba-Sa...uct_136822 same specs as the one the OP posted but it's an i3. I tried the B580 but lenovo is a stick in the mud on "approved" wifi cards. not a big deal if your not planing on switching it. But I needed to because I have a mobile internet card.

I like the i3 version better as well.
