Thinking about getting this tomorrow at a local store. What do you guys think for 420 dollars

umm its not going to be able to do much except web surfing, considering that thing is even slower than a cheap netbook, but it'd work I guess. You could easily get something better for the price though.

Here's an awesome deal if you're OK with an off-lease one. (I hear theyre pretty good quality) http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...MS&cm_mmc=Email-_-Main-_-WEM2154-_-tigeremail

Thats all I really need it for.

I didnt think it was going to be slower then an atom though. Hmmmm

Its for school.

well I'd seriously consider that HP. Even being an off lease its an awesome deal for a C2D. If not, shop around a bit, and subscribe to tigerdirect's newsletter. They keep sending out awesome laptop deals through email.

Looks like a good deal on the Toshiba.

Wont be to slow for MS office, FF and etc stuff?

The Toshiba will be fine for pretty much any normal tasks. Much better than the first laptop, which was basically a netbook on steroids.
