    I can get an open box one for $1400. Does anybody have any experience with this model? I couldn't find any reviews. I went to the store with the intention to buy a Toshiba u205 when I found this. If anybody has any input it would be appreciated.

    It's new. Vista Business on it. At $1400 it's a steal. Get it now.

    That is a great price. New that laptop costs $2300 at my local CompUSA. $1400 is a steal for an open box model.

    I can't figure out the stores near me; they are still trying to sell old open-box T750's, etc. (a number of generations behind) for $1800.

    Well apparently I was told the wrong price. I called back to make sure the man who was helping me was still there so he could get the commission and told him that I would be coming to pick it up.
    Instead of just telling me that they made a mistake they accused me of lying. After the guy owned up to making a mistake they tried to sell it to me for $1900. I refused and then they started trying to sell me other laptops, at this point I walked out.

    Haha, yeah, $1400 would have been a great price for it.
