Quote from Anthony Thomas : In defense of the Toshiba it does have a hybrid eSATA/USB port so it does effectively have (3) USB 2.0 ports. For what you get its a fairly good deal for a pre-BF grab if you can't wait. I think you'll see a dual core (more than likely a Celeron or AMD) for about $349-$379 but supplies will be limited and it looks like it will be up to Fry's to save the day. For the people that don't have a Fry's and aren't happy with what's out there already, wait for Cyber Monday.

The Toshiba has only 3 GB memory which means likely it will be Windows 7 32 bit, not 64 bit. 64 bit needs atleast 4 GB.

Is the Toshiba for 400 @ BB going to be a core 2 duo? Are there any core 2 duos that will be in the 4-450 range?

just checked and it sayss it is...is the 1GB and 70gb of HD space worth the $100 price dif for the 2 BB toshibas?

Also, How much of a dif. is there between the Intel Duo 2 core T5850 vs the Duo 2 core T6600?
