I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro, 17" screen with GeForce 7600 graphics. Very nice indeed, and runs Half Life 2 at decent frame rates, couldn't ask for anything more at the price...

Just replace the hard drive in 5 years or so if you plan on using it daily. They have many issues. The everyday toshiba laptops are great.Toshiba laptops are good in their performance as well as perfect in reliability as well. I believe Toshiba is the best brand of laptop i've ever used! They are also well known for reliability, and great customer service.I would recommend anyone to buy Toshiba Laptops!
