Toshiba PCs are among the best!

Toshiba has a solid build; they are tough & reliable. As a computer professional for over 30 years,
I've owned & worked with all major brands, including 'clone' PCs. The top corporate choice in
portable/laptop/notebook PCs is TOSHIBA. With new lower prices - especially the current deals on
Amazon - this, and many other Toshibas, are an excellent choice.

The only concern that I & my employees have is the OS: we prefer MAC OS, but we also use MS-XP
and MS-Vista. (the problems with Vista, although some still remain, are largely over-hyped) So, if
you're going with the MS operating system, then you might consider getting your new Toshiba with
MS-XP and upgrading to MS-Vista later. (Toshiba offers this option.)

Warning about labelflash

I love my present Toshiba Satellite, which I use for everything (phone, tv, work, school, etc.), so I ordered this Satellite as an exciting upgrade. I use Lightscribe a lot for labeling my cdr's and dvdr's, and I thought "Labelflash" was the same thing. If this is important to you, you should know that it's not the same thing -- like VHS and Betamax, they are competing standards. Unfortunately, since Labelflash is pretty rare, the blanks are around 3x the price of Lightscribe blanks, and are only available at a handful of on line vendors. In addition, Labelflash uses the dvd laser so there are no cdr labelflash media. I found out just in the nick of time and cancelled my order. But if labeling your media with something other than a Sharpie isn't important to you, then don't worry about it.
