It's on sale on Best Buy right now for $499.99

I will not be using this for gaming. Mostly programming and web designing. One issue with this laptop is that the screen has a strong glare so it might be tough on my eyes (I plan to use it for several hours a day).

Do you guys recommend this? If not, can you offer some alternatives in the same price range?

That Lenovo looks pretty good as well. Which one do you think is better?

Guess what, I went to Best Buy yesterday and bought the Toshiba. Turned out to have a defective battery. Went back, exchanged for a new one, and Geek Squad said it was also defective. Just my luck I guess... Do you think I should wait a couple days and try to buy another Toshiba at a different Best Buy?
