Both CompUSA and Best Buy have had Toshiba laptops down to $749 after rebates the last few weeks (2.4 celeron, 256 memory). I bought a Toshiba a year ago for $749 and have been pretty happy with it (it replaced a Dell that I gave away). I looked at CompUSA's web site today and they have a faster Toshiba for $849 after rebates, but if you're not in a rush you'll probably see something for $749 again over the next few weeks. The promotion seems to repeat itself every few weeks. I only use mine for internet access when I'm away from home, and it works fine for that.
