I know this is a Dell newsgroup, but I'm wondering if any of you are
familiar with this particular computer?

The L505D-LS5005 model is on sale ($465 total cost).

15.6" screen.
250 gb HD

2 gb

AMD Athlon II M300 (2 ghz).

Windows 7 Home Premium

Would this be sufficient for my needs (internet, spreadsheet, word
processor)? Would I need more memory to increase speed?

As long as it does not break and does not require service, it should be
fine. Repairing Toshiba laptops is frustrating. No readily available
service manuals. Scarcity of parts. Internal design by Rub Goldberg or
Microsoft. Disassembly and reassembly is always a serious chore... Ben

that l505d-ls505 was on closeout at fry's for $349 (now gone) and that
is probably why the question was asked. but for $50 more the model at
newegg is a better value with a slightly faster processor, twice the
memory (worth the $50 alone), better video, and a half pound lighter.
free shipping and no sales tax collected makes it far less expensive
than anything dell offers.

It sounds great and others must have thought so as they are out-of-stock..

If any of you spy comparable deals, please advise.

Thanks for your insights
