Well my old Toshy packed it in finally, and after a fair bit of waiting my new baby arrived
Still in the Toshiba family, cause, well, after the hiding mine copped (including being dropped 1m off a bench onto a concrete floor) I couldn't stay away.
I eyed off a few models, had my eyes set on one of the 14" models.
After a few weeks of waiting he never turned up
A quick call to Toshiba confirmed my fears, discontinued model.
So the hunt began for a new baby.
Having a look through a few models, found a HP i liked also. But still wanted a Toshiba.
Anyways after searching for quote a while found this bad boy.
Brand spanking Toshiba Satellite A500/02S
Intel Core i5 M520 2.4Ghz/2.9Ghz
4GB DDR3 Ram
500GB Hard Drive Sata2 Fujitsu 5400rpm
Nvidia GeForce GT330M 1GB Video Card
Wireless N
Digital TV/Analogue Hybrid Tuner
15.6" Screen
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (so I can run EPC and TIS)
Then the usual bits, bluetooth, dvd burner, card reader, webcam, numeric keypad.
All I can say is wow its quick, I also run Office 2010 64 bit and Photoshop CS4 64 bit.
It's a bloody great machine, very happy with it.
Not even gonna bother building a new desktop now, this runs Bioshock @ 1366x768 will all settings maxed, also C&C 3 with all settings maxed. Not that I will be playing many games on it, just installed em to see how they would go.
Price, well I cant let you in on secrets but it RRP for about the $1599.
