Is this the Toshiba 15.4" Satellite A205-S7456 Laptop PC w/ Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5250 ?

May we please but this laptop without Vista???

I would jump on this deal in a second if there was no

Vista involved....

What a deal!! Do want!!! [w/o the Vista however] *grins!!!

Thanks for the comments.  First, it is the A205-S500 with an Intel Celeron processor.  Second, we can no longer ship Windows XP product on configurations like this after June of this year.  We ran a Dell 2GB with the XP operating system around Fathers Day and this was really the last time we have shipped XP Product.  Becuase Microsoft has made that stance, we could not add anything but a Vista operating system).  Sorry.

Will it be available on your website or in stores only?

 What are we talking for a graphics card?

hey i can't find it online... what is the model number or the link to see it online or i have to be there tomorrow to find out?

 This same deal available in Canadian stores as well?

are you guys shipping to canada? =)

Since Toshiba doesn't list a laptop labeled "A205-S500" on their Products page, would you please post a link where we can see the exact specifications for this model? 

Thanks

i just received a walmart flyer with the laptop in it, however it's listed as the same specs and model but for $494  which is almost $100 more , I am in Wisconsin.

Does this apply to Canadian stores as well? I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and called our stores and they had no idea.

Thanks,

Nicole

does this have an integrated webcam/microphone?

8:00 AM in what time zone please?

@lynda I have been using vista for a while now. to my experience its a solid os, I also have a machine running xp and I haven't had to boot it for a while now. If the machine has enough juice, (atleast 2GB of RAM and a decent graphics card) vista is anyday better then xp.

I assume this offer is available only in the U.S..

Will we see similar offer in Canada?

Thanks

@Ryan would this be available in all walmart stores?

"Becuase Microsoft has made that stance, we could not add anything but a Vista operating system"

You could add Ubuntu. ;)

Or, maybe just threaten to use Ubuntu until they cave and agree to let you use XP.

"Becuase Microsoft has made that stance, we could not add anything but a Vista operating system).  Sorry. "

Other operating systems DO exist.

First of all, thank for tellling us this great deal.

Second, How can we buy it? what store? is it possible to do it online?

Third, Can you send us the specification of this laptop

Is this online only or store only or...

Lynda, download yourself some free Linux distro like Ubuntu and you wont need Vista. No need for antivirus, malware, trojans protection, no need for updating your Norton and Adaware or Spysweeper and all those type of programs.

My brother installed a Linux called PCLinuxOS on our parents computer so he woudlnt have to worry about their computer since they live out of town and my folks email, surf the web, talk to their grandkids on Skype and on Yahoo IM, watch DVDs and listen to music.

It convinced us to try it and we now run both Windows and Linux on teh same machine but spend time on the Windows side only for games and 1-2 apps that I need for work.

I am looking at the Toshiba for my eldest son and my brother will install Linux next to the Windows as well that way my son can do everything in Linux and still play Chessmaster on teh Windows side.

We have weened ourselves out of the money pit that is Windows and my wife inherited a 10 year old IBM T21 laptop with 256mb ram that my brother revived with Xubuntu which is lighter on graphics for older machines.

My brother convinced us through safety, cost savings and the fact that webcentric nature of Gmail, Flickr, Facebook, Youtube, IMs and so on means that the browser is your main tool (luv the Firfox extensions) and we've gotten quite used to it.

I will never pay for Anti-Virus programs again, I will never pay for the Office suite, I will never pay for another upgrade in my OS. Instead I will spend that money on something like this laptop for my children.

Its really a Win-Win situation.

Don't like Vista??? Use Ubuntu Linux!!!!!!!

I agree with you Lynda... but don't worry, the Toshiba should run Ubuntu just fine. :)

I've been running Ubuntu on my laptop for months, and haven't had the need to boot back into Windows for any reason.

 Is this an in-store only deal, or can I get this on the website?

What a great deal for laptop first time buyers.

Since Toshiba doesn't list a laptop labeled "A205-S500" on their Products page, would you please post a link where we can see the exact specifications for this model? 

Thanks

Will this be on in-store item or can it be purchased online?

Janie

Great price thanks for sharing.

Will it be available on internet?, and, do you know other specs, like camera, bluetooth, etc? Thanks

Will this be All/Most wallmarts?

Did they make this just for you?

I can't find it on their web site

Their support site goes from the A205-S4797

to A205-S5800

And if you go to a memory site. it says the a205 series is a dual core notebook too

I can't find any tech specs on the machine

Hello Ryan,

Are you going to be selling them online too? What processor is it? Is there a webcam? Im really looking forward to see the specs. Im very interested in this laptop.

- Siggi

I can't find the product on the Walmart website. Could you give us the link to the product? Thanks

It's Sunday. Would you please send us the link to it on the walmart website so we can buy it?

Thanks.

     when is this taking place sunday 7/20/08? because im on walmarts site now and there is no laptop, i've called 4 walmart stores in the 60422 illinois suburbs and they have no idea what im talking about

Hate to burst your bubles, but i think this price must be only in some areas.  In El Reno, Oklahoma the sale price is $494 and the local store refuses to honor your $398 price.

So how do i buy one or two of these?

Hey, I purchased the toshiba from wal-mart  for $398.  What a great deal!  I'm very happy with my purchase.  The keyboard is a little noisy when typing, but no notebook is perfect.  It has Vista, and has no problems running the applications I need.  I'm a very happy camper : )

     What is the video chipset?

Where is it? The cheapest Toshiba laptop listed on the Walmart web site is $548

The only one with the A205-S7456 model number is listed as $698.00

 Got this too. It's quite good for $398! 

It's the A200-S5000 model:

I was on vacation when this online deal came out, with no way to get to a walmart. Is this still available in the TN area? If not will it come about again or will another model be forthcoming?

Thanks - Richard
