Toshiba Satellite Laptop for College

My son moved to Omaha today to work for the summer before moving to Lincoln in the fall to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  He is going to stay with his grandma who lives in Omaha. He’s only been gone an hour, and the thought of him being gone makes me miss him already. I think it’s the whole “my son is now an adult” syndrome kicking in. 

We decided that he would use some of his graduation money to invest in a new laptop for college. Of course, I did my research for the best bang for the buck, and came up with the  Toshiba – Satellite Laptop with Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T3400 for only $399.99 from Best Buy…

I browsed several techie forums, as those contributors not only know more about computer specs than me, but they also know a good deal when they find it! This laptop features everything that my son will need and more….

Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core processor T3400 
667MHz frontside bus, 1MB L2 cache and 2.16GHz processor speed.
2GB PC6400 DDR2 SDRAM expandable to 4GB
Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive with double-layer support 
15.4″ WXGA TFT-LCD widescreen display
250GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm)
Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M
128MB – 1342MB dynamically allocated shared memory.
Built-in stereo speakers.
4-in-1 bridge media adapter
3 high-speed USB 2.0 ports
Built-in Atheros high-speed wireless LAN (802.11b/g)
Built-in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN with RJ-45 connector
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic Edition operating system
Toshiba DVD Player and Disc Creator Software Included
Microsoft Office Professional is only a 60-day trial version, but when we toured the UNL campus, our tour guide said that students are able to buy Microsoft Software at a deep, deep discount at the campus bookstore.

We ordered the Toshiba Satellite Laptop online last night from BestBuy.com.  We chose the instore pick up option, as there is a Best Buy in Omaha that he can pick it up from today.  That not only saved shipping costs ($24.99 standard cost), but shipping time as well!

Good luck Taylor, I love you!

   Hey Kim! What a huge step for you and your son – congrats and good luck to him (and you!!). I remember going away to school, what a fun part of growing up. I’m sure he is anxious and excited at the same time, and its good that he can stay at grandmas to give him some sense of “home” while he is away from you.

   Best of luck!!!!
   Chris
