Stay away from Toshiba they are one company that doesn't stand behind their products and everyone that I know that has had one has had one problem or another. I had a satellite a70 had to have close to everything replaced one month before the warranty was up. If I had to replace everything myself it would have been cheaper to buy a new one. Then just over a year later same problem occured again now with no warranty, I managed to fix it myself and it lasted a few more months before it finally started smoking and wouldn't start anymore. The funny thing is that there are tons of forums out there dedicated to the toshiba a70 and 2 to 3 other toshiba models, apparently this is a common problem with 95% of these models and toshiba knows about it but won't do shit about their faulty product. I will never buy another toshiba anything in my life.
I just got a Dell Inspiron I1720, Intel Core Duo CPU 1.50GHz, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB hard drive. Really nice machine fast as fuck, so far I am quite happy with it's performance
