This is an excellent laptop for the given price. Ordered one for a close friend last week and the laptop arrived earlier this week. Must say it has an excellent finish.

How much slower is the 1.4 GHz Celeron here (bestbuy.com)?

A decent laptop for $299 is just unreal, wow.

That looks to be the same as this one: http://www.thesource.ca/estore/produ...e=en-CA&aff=cj

The difference in cpu speed is not that much, but the extra 1GB of RAM will def help. Also, 15.6" vs 11.6" would be a very important factor.

Is this laptop better than the refurb Lenovo i3 being sold by future shop?

The Lenovo has better features but it is a refurb while this is brand new.
