Has anyone looked at this Toshiba that Best Buy has for $350?
I'm looking to replace our Vaio, and wanted something entry level. Really don't need this thing to do a whole lot of processing. It will mostly be used for editing pictures, playing music and uploading pics and video to the web. I just don't know much about the B940 processor.

Pentium B940
4G DDR3
15.6"
listed >5hr battery life

Firstly, the link is broken. You might want to check it, and replace it with the working link, which is: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor+/+15.6%22+Display+/+4GB+Memory+/+320GB+Hard+Drive+-+Matrix+Silver/2833778.p?id=1218354838379&skuId=2833778&st=Pentium B940 &cp=1&lp=2

You said you will edit pictures, what program will you be using? if you are using something like M$ Paint... well, your okay. But, if you want to use something like Photoshop, you'll need something beyound "entry level". More like mid range to accomplish the basic parts of it. Uploading videos and pictures won't be an issue, 320 GB is probably more then enough depending on how often you add data...

There are much better/clearer sounding intergrated speakers out there, but any laptop will do that basic task.

A 350 dollar laptop will not suffice photo editing.
