[Eug-lug] deal at Best Buy on Toshiba notebook $249

[Jason LaPier]

I tried to get the $300 Toshiba deal from Office Depot, but by 8:45 they
were sold out. So instead I checked Dell's site (guessing they would
drop some prices to reflect BF sales) and saw the AMD laptops. I ordered
an Inspiron 1501 - AMD Turion 64 Dual-Core, 15" widescreen, 1GB RAM,
CD/DVD-RW, 80GB drive, ATI Radeon Xpress 256MB (altho I think it has 128
MB of video memory and you can dedicate up to 128 MB of system memory) -
ended up being $599, free shipping. 
 
Now I hope Ubuntu plays well with it. I read on the Ubuntu forums some
people have had trouble with the 1501's but they found fixes for their
problems. The only things that don't seem to be working are sleep and
hibernate modes...
