I tell you, I bought the top end satellite a few years back, 2.5GHZ p4 mobile, not a centrino. 1G ram, special high end vid card, removable keyboard, 17 screen. It seemed amazing.

It turned out to be overhyped junk. They never updated the junky alps touchpad (not synaptics) so you could not accelerate enough to get across the big screen without 3 wipes. The case cracked in 4 places with no rough handling from me. The wireless mouse that was built-in never got a driver update, and had no frills at all.

I tell you, last Toshiba computer I will ever buy. Using a Dell XPS GenII notebook. I've already pinmodded it to go to 2.26GHZ (dothan, like 3.6GHz non mobile) and I've modded it to accept a 7800GTX video card and 2G RAM. I just added another 60G 7200 RPM drive and moved the DVD burner into an external enclosure. Dell all the way man...
