349.99 (add filler to get it over 350) - 20 dollar pizza pizza coupon = 329.99

$20 digital Coupon here PIZZZ020205435275577

Link to laptop (Red) (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10126125&catid=28597&logon=&langid=EN) (Black) (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10126124&catid=28597)

its out of stock at the moment, but will ship once in stock, for those looking around for a filler, this is a great filler for an extra 10 dollars. Desktop Accessory kit (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10105346&logon=&langid=EN)

Total (netbook and accessory kit) with free shipping and taxes came to $384.18

If you want it faster you could go in store to check stock, but i was there yesterday (Best Buy london, didn't try north) and they were out of stock, so at least this way i could get it shipped to me once they have stock.

Some quick specs (its not the greatest netbook out there, but at almost 12" ultra portability, 2gb ram, 250 gb hard drive and correct me if im wrong, but it may have a sim card slot for direct to sim tethering, i think its an awesome deal)

The AMD Athlon 64 L110 (1.2Ghz) single-core processor and 2GB of system memory offer the power and speed you need to get - and stay - connected to your digital world. And with an 11.6" high-definition LED-backlit display, you’ll enjoy a truly cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio for optimal viewing.


Store and carry important files on the 250GB hard drive

Surf the web anywhere a wireless connection exists with integrated Wireless G (802.11b/g) connectivity

Built-in webcam and microphone

Quickly transfer files using 3 USB 2.0 ports and the integrated 5-in-1 memory card reader

A full-size soft-touch keyboard enhances typing comfort

Pinch, flick and swirl your fingers on the multi-gesture touchpad for easy navigation of web pages, photos, spreadsheets and more

This model comes pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Basic

Can the coupon be used in store?
Or should I just order online and pick up in-store?
I'd like to buy one right now, and they have plenty in stock in the stores here in BC.

This a good laptop for this price range? Are there others?

Looks like a solid deal tho..

Walmart wants $399 for this, and 1GB ram only. Lowest price guaranteed? :twisted:

I'm sure this is the Gateway Laptop I saw earlier at Walmart with a a paper sticker on it "Limited Time Offer" for $328.98.

Wasn't really looking for this so didnt pay much attention with the spec. But it has all diff colour and 11.6"....that's all I remembered.

Disregard the post above. Found it on their website. Spec are diff..

Yes, I just saw it like 10 minutes ago. Looked to be the same model, I saw black there.

OOS? What a surprise. They claim they aren't making much money on this model. As for the machine itself, it should really have hdmi out.

This AMD L110 beats Intel's Z520 very easily.

If I didn't already have a fantasic high batt power laptop I would buy this in a second. My bro has this and it is really sweet with it's high resolution lcd. Price and 6cell battery is great. Email, word, excel, internet and 720p vids all work great on this machine. -sg

I think that's a mistake because their current flyer says $349.99 after $100 savings. Or maybe the flyer is a mistake...

it does indeed
so heres an update
i ended up going to bestbuy, picked up 3 of these and the 1.5tb western digital external hard drive and used the 100 off of 1000 coupon..
worked out really well, i also swung a deal with the guy and ended up getting the 2 year warranty for 30 dollars extra (definately YMMV) but it doesnt hurt to ask, and yes they can accept photocopies of the coupon (or even the SKU)
