    Hi there,

    I am looking to pick up an R835 and have been trying to find a great deal on them.

    Officemax had them at $649 for a week or two but I called and went to a couple of stores and they couldn't even order me one :(

    Best buy has them for $729 which looks like the best price I can find.

    Surprisingly Ebay and Amazon are both much higher than that.

    Does anyone else know of a good deal?

    BB is the P70, most other places are P56X. Amazon "usually" has the P56X for $799. Though, now it is in the $840s. If you can wait, Amazon most likely will drop it back to $799. JR has the P56X for $820, if that helps.

    Amazon dropped their back down to $840s. Office Max was on sale last week. Office Max has had the R835 on sale for $650 for two times now.

    Amazon's price is at $799, in case anyone is on the fence.

    I am still unable to have this problem fixed yet. Battery loses its charge roughly 10% overnight when it is completely turned off (shutdown). It is not just annoying but rather diminishing its portability, rendering it useless. I can live with the other issues, but not the lost of the battery capacity when not using.
    Trust me, you will be really disappointed if this problem was not fixed. Frankly, if this problem can't be fixed, i wouldn't pay, even 650, for it. I like toshiba products and can tolerate other issues, but if you can't turn it on when you need it, it is useless; just as paperweight. Try other toshiba products that have less critical problems.

    For students, this xbox and Amazon price is HOT! For those unable to get a free xbox, the previous OfficeMax deal is better.
