Looking to get the kids a computer for “back to school?” Check out the Toshiba L305-S5955. There’s an interesting article about this model at CNET.

Specs include: 2.2GHz Intel Celeron processor 900, 2GB of memory, DVD-RW/CD-RW drive, 15.4-inch screen, 160GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm), 802.11b/g wireless, 10/100 Ethernet LAN, Intel’s Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, and Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic Edition operating system.

Apparently Best Buy does not show, at least not on the Best Buy Web page for this particular Toshiba model (L305-S5955), that the laptop qualifies for a free Windows 7 upgrade. This upgrade is indicated, however, on the Best Buy Web pages of more expensive laptops running higher-end versions of Windows Vista. In any case, don’t forget to ask.
