i sure as hell hope so...i missed this one because i took a chance on the $399 toshiba at my local circuit city. by the time i got there, they were out. i thought i'd be able to get on this deal as my backup plan but nooooooo. grrrr.

Got through to CC on the $399 Toshiba laptop. It is only available for in-store purchase. Why the website said you could order it over the phone is beyond me because last night it said it was only an in-store purchase. And now the site is saying it's in-store purchase only. But whatever...I'm going to the CC near me because they have it in stock supposedly.

Seems like she got the AMD Sempron

I'm still waiting because my goal is to get a laptop for under $500 that meets my specs. If I wait it out, I'll get the dual-core processor and the Wireless-N upgrade (everything else is good with me) with tax and shipping for $475 or so.

Or if you don't want to wait while still taking advantage of the $260 coupon (RH23N?MWL3KF1C), I found out that if you follow Brad's steps above you can customize the system configuration by clicking on the "Adjust System" link when the laptop is in your cart. To upgrade to the Athlon TK-53 processors, it's an extra $50. And what I like about this is that you can customize other components while still getting the $260 off. As of this post, it seems the "bqdaiad" is for a Vostro 1000 with XP only as Vista is not offered as an alternate OS. That's the only difference I've seen.

I have to second that. Much appreciated! *bows to King Brad*

Also, can the coupon code be applied to the Vostro 1400? I've been trying but not working yet. Just wondering if I'm wasting my time with the 1400 and need to stick with the 1000.
