I have a Toshiba laptop and it is a pile of cack.

Don't know the spec, but it cost me £469 about 12 months ago.

After about three months it had to go back for a new mainboard, I only use it if I am really stuck now as it is so damn slow. The battery only lasts about 20 mins as well if I use the 3G card and optical mouse.

I change my laptop every year, this is my 4th Toshiba, there was an interlude when I tried Compaq, it was a waste of money

I know a few people with Dell laptops and they seem good and so I might try one of those in the future.

One of the problems with the Toshiba is the small keyboard, I keep hitting the touch pad when I type and it gets me mad lol

I think it depends on the model of Toshiba you have, the keyboard on mine is a standard size, the same size as a desktop keyboards actually (My screen is 17")

DON.

their awesome and cheap until something goes wrong - if your good like me and practise safe battery use then you'll be fine but when you need a new powersupply/battery it'll cost you SO much!

I use IBM ThickPad for my travel needs. Bought it about 2 years ago (Win XP-Pro, 3Ghz P4, 1G ram, 15" screen.
One problem - very bad built-in speakers, can't watch movie without head phones.
Otherwise serves it's purpose just fine...

I want to add a minus for DELL
