    ToshibaDirect.com has the Toshiba Satellite L300 Configure-To-Order starting at only $509 (after $90 instant rebate). FREE Shipping included. It's definitely one of the best values in a notebook for under $600! LINK- http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cdetland.to?seg=HHO&poid=428720&fgpn=PSLB8U-0K704H

    Base configuration priced at $509 includes-
    Exterior: Onyx Blue
    Windows Vista Home Basic (Premium- $20; XP Pro+ Vista Business license- $110)
    2.16GHz Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3400 *
    15.4" WXGA (1280x800) TrueBrite display
    1GB DDR2-800 RAM (1-DIMM) **
    160GB Hard Drive (250GB- $35; 320GB- $60)
    DVD Supermulti (Labelflash capability- $15)
    Intel GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics
    Intel 5100AGN wireless card
    6-cell Battery

    *- Processor upgrades are available, but they are very pricey (2.0GHz T6400- $90; 2.26GHz P8400- $200!). A pre-configured Satellite L300 is a much better value if a CPU upgrade is desired. See below

    **- RAM upgrades to 2GB ($50) and 4GB ($110) are offered. Ordered with the base 1GB, only one of the two memory slots is occupied. For $20 or less, you can purchase 1-DIMM of 2GB DDR2-800 (PC2 6400). Anyone with a screwdriver and five minutes can install it and save almost $90!

    ToshibaDirect also has the L300-ST3502 for $599 after $50 instant rebate (FREE Shipping)- http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/pdet.to?seg=HHO&poid=432696
