Dragonlady: Yeah :) I'm on the ground with ya!! lol. CompUSA was going out of business and I hit their last two days of business. I (literally) got this laptop for half its original price.

Suh-weeet!

I'm jealous. I love the top-of-the-line-at-the-time Toshi P105 that I bought last year, but yours totally puts it to shame - thanks tons. I really like that color too, mine's a high-gloss blue that serves as a terrific fingerprint catcher (which now makes me wonder if the fingerprint reader might be spoofed with a piece of tape?).

Anyhoo, I think that 17" widescreen form factor makes an awesome desktop replacement, but it can be a bit of a PITA if you need to take on the road very often. Finding a decent travel case/backpack for under $100 can be an adventure (I found a Targus backpack that worked pretty well for me), and then you'll still have to be careful to not throw your back out if you have to lug that 9+ pound beast very far (especially if your are also prone to toting around that huge power brick, an external drive, and an extra battery pack like I end up doing).

Hopefully you won't be having to drag it around much further than the distance from your desk to the deck though. Nothing quite like doing some occassional web surfing al fresco, and the Toshibas are great for that I must say...
