Best Buy has the Toshiba Satellite C875-S7304 Core i3 17.3" Laptop for $400 with free shipping. Windows 8 installed.
Intel Core i3-3110M 2.4GHz, 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD
17.3" LED 1600 x 900, Intel HD graphics, 802.11b/g/n
$400
Ordered 1. Seemed to be good deal.
Agreed #1 - looks like a good deal. I'm finding the following add-in alleviates much of my frustration with Windows 8 "M E T R O Tiles" on the desktop:

Start Is Back uses the native start menu for the desktop that Microsoft hid in Windows 8 and added a few more features to it. It's the real deal and is cheaper than Stardock:
$3 for 2 licenses
$5 for 5 licenses

This is a good one...
Think of M*etro as a Fisher Price screen saver for Windows Ate...
Thanks #3. Just loaded it up. I honestly expect Microsoft to have its shortest time ever between an OS launch and SP1 with Windows 8, with the Service Pack restoring the start button.
I also expect the line at BB's return desk to be out the door on December 26th with Win 8 Desktop/Laptop returns.
