Toshiba Satellite

For some, nothing says holiday merriment like queuing up outside a big-box retailer before sunrise and jostling with fellow bargain hunters for a chance to save money on gadgets. If this sounds like an ideal way to digest your Thanksgiving meal, then these deals will be right up your alley.

Best Buy starts the holiday shopping season off right with its jaw-dropping deal on this Toshiba Satellite. (Of course, the low price isn't all that shocking considering the laptop price wars that occurred this time last year.) For $229 you get a 15.4-inch screen, 80GB hard drive, Intel Celeron M processor (not all that impressive, as my colleague Dan Ackerman notes) and Windows Vista Home Basic. Also included with the notebook is a 3-in-1 Canon Pixma printer that scans, copies, and prints photos. The price is available on Black Friday, November 23, in-store only.
