I just purchased a Toshiba A305-s6858 Laptop computer at the Albuquerque Best Buy for 502.99. I had not been shopping for a computer at all but needed an external hard drive to take to London with me. I had no idea about current computer prices but the price seemed really great. Now that I am home and shopped around online it seems as a hot deal. Best Buy's website shows current online price of 799.99. Other websites show even higher up to 949.00. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5750; 4 gig of ram; 320GB hard drive; and a built in 1.3 megapixel camera. These are not refurbished units. The Albuquerque store on Eubank had 5 more after I bought mine. Feel free to criticize my deal as I have no idea of current computer specs and prices. Oh and since I am a true Fat Walleter (fat Walletist?) the only reason I went there was that I had 3 hundred dollar gift cards that I had in my pocket for over 4 years! In 4 years I could never find any value there haha. Here is a link to the online page but the store is 502.99. No coupons or rebates.

Best Buy Product Link

OP can you tell from which location you purchased this. Looks its a clearance item in that case store prices would differ.
