Happy March! Celebrate a new month with some great deals. Check out Gearlog’s finds for Monday, March 2:

The laptop has a 1.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 Centrino 2 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, and Vista Business. Again, the offer ends today, so move quickly.

3. Looking for a new TV? The Sony 40-inch Bravia LCD television is on sale this week from J&R.com. Originally $1,899, the TV is now $1,030. It has 16:9 HD 1080 resolution, and it also ships for free.

The controversy surrounding the Kindle 2’s text to speech functionality continues unabated, and as we delve further into the legal back ‘n forth between Amazon and the Authors Guild, we wonder if we haven’t discovered the true identity of “Tom.” According to David Pogue, the New York Times journalist has received an email from a certain adult contemporary heartthrob named Tom Glynn, claiming to be the source of the mysterious voice. What do you guys think — would you pay $359 for this guy to read you a bed time story?

1. Did you know it’s Logitech Week at Amazon.com? Well, it is. Save up to 50 percent off of Logitech accessories, like mice, keyboards, Web cams, presenters, speakers, headsets and gaming gear.

2. Sellout.woot is offering the Sony SATA Internal Blu-ray Disc BD-ROM Drive for just $69.99 today. It has a list price of $149.99. It’s not a DVD burner, but it will let you watch Blu-ray movies on your computer.

An Eee PC costing $550 just 8 months ago is now selling for less than half that price from a trio of major on-line retailers. In an apparent across-the-board price cut, several SSD-based EEE PC 901 models have been slashed with your choice of Linux or XP. Most notable is the 8.9-inch netbook configured with a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, 1GB memory, 20GB SSD, Linux, and 6-cell battery. Careful though: the European CeBIT show (an ASUS favorite event) is just days away and with it should come a few new Eee PC models running the latest Intel processors and chipsets. Consider yourselves warned. Hit the read link for the details.
