I have my eye on this Portégé (and now M780) since I saw 400. Since technology upgrades quickly with the rate of "new gadgets every second" as I was told, I also saw something new from Toshiba w/c is ideal for my needs. It's Toshiba's QOSMIO X505-Q880.

My eyes widened and I leaned forward to see this "red shiny thing", I mean this multimedia laptop. However it's just too big. The screen measures 18.4." This laptop would be difficult to carry around. It would feel like carrying the "10 Commandments" tablets everywhere but the specs is SWEET and the price for such a heavily loaded computer.

So why Toshiba? Why not a MacBook Pro? Well Toshiba is a very durable laptop to handle for someone like me (most especially). Besides I need to practice on Apple computers because it's confusing. It felt like writing with my left hand.
