    I'm In the market for an upgraded laptop. I've liked the toshiba brand a lot but will consist others. I'd like at least an i5 processor and must be intel. Also at least 6gb of RAM and 500gb HDD.

    Let me know what you have. Looking to spend no more than $450. Thanks in advance.

    Let me check the specs on my personal laptop. It's been gathering dust since I got my work computer. It should fit those.

    $150??? And I've been looking at Craigslist so that's the reason for the lower prices.

    Look at sites like woot.com or 1saleaday.com
    They frequently have good deals on laptops.
    A few days ago on woot they had a touchscreen HP with a quad core processor, 8 GB ram for $369

    Premier scam artists.

    They are not an authorized reseller of electronics, meaning buying from them means you have no warranty. They often fail to ship what you buy, and when you complain, they will take MONTHS to finally just quietly refund your money and never provide what you bought.

    I had to do that dance with them for a PILLOW of all things. It was ridiculous. It made me go out and start looking for reviews, and once you look at peoples' experiences with that outfit, you will know to never ever go near them.
