Toshiba continues to impress me with it's laptops.
I've used some Toshiba's in my day and easily believe they are the best of the breed. The only thing I hate about them is they tend to be painted in some useless paint (usually silver) that wears away and quickly makes it look old and cheap; no doubt a strategy to make users buy new ones, but it kill the resale value. Even when the laptop/netbook is still in it's prime and is an awesome performer, it looks like worn out trash from the scratched up and faded paint.

Dump the wear-away silver paint Toshiba, it SUCKS! :shadedshu

Can't wait to see Toshiba's AMD line-up when AMD's new CPUs and APUs are released!

Me neither would love to see what they have.

Interested to see how good WiMax works and what speeds are average.

In the U.S.? It's a joke. Most WiMax phone users are reporting speed that barely match that of the HSPA+ network in Canada(it's a country located just north of AMERICA).
