Well I'm glad you all like it because I bought it last week. I'm going to replace my main desktop with it through the use of an external mouse, keyboard and monitor. I put Fedora 7 on the second partition. I can't get wifi or the subwoofer to work in Linux yet but there is a way to. I'm just not that good at figuring out driver issues yet. This thing is powerful enough for me to play need for speed on and I can just pack it up and take it with me whenever I travel.
Toshiba really made a good machine. This is the first computer I have ever purchased and been extremely happy with. I haven't needed to call support yet and it came with recovery disks. The sound is amazing for a laptop too. The only thing I didn't like about it was that when you peeled off the Vista logo it left gunk all over the plastic which I still haven't figured out how to get off yet.
This thing is also going to save a lot of money as far as electricity usage. I think my main desktop that I use for development draws 500 watts, with this only drawing 160 or so. Battery life is 2 hours, not very long but that's what you get with a laptop like this I suppose. It's very quite too. I won't have an office that sounds like a windtunnel anymore because I can throw the other computer in a closet and just have it wake up on lan or something.
