Well, I'm going to have to disagree with the assessment of Toshiba's laptops... I bought one in December; from day one, it has had an intermittent display problem that causes the screen to go blank occasionally, and it is on it's THIRD hard drive in a little over two months.... and Vista absolutely sucks! If I could trade this turd back to Circuit City for an HP, I'd do it in a heartbeat- preferably one loaded with XP!
