I had been wanting to get my wife a laptop for a while so I decided to get her one for her birthday. I wasn’t looking for anything powerful, just something she could use for browsing the web and the usual things she does.  After looking around for a few months, I decided to get this Toshiba from BestBuy.  It’s a great deal to be under $400 and we’ve been more than satisfied with it. If you are looking for a cheap laptop that can still hold its own, I recommend it for sure.

It is a bare minimum laptop: no web cam, decent sound, decent mouse pad, decent screen size/resolution. The ram is upgradable to 4GB, though, which was a selling point for me.  I’ll probably get a 2nd one for myself, should make a nice dev pc with Ubuntu.
