        I had the same dilema as you, I wanted the best computer for around $2,000 and that's what I chose, the thing is a beast for size, but that's what I wanted
        It'll be my 3rd Toshiba, I have been very happy with their products and I find I get about a year or so per $1,000 of productive use out of them.

        Weak spot seems to be the fan. The guy I gave my old one to as a gift had the fan cleaned this week and it started working as new. (I was unhappy with it as it got really hot, so much so that the keyboard had warped) I was looking at it and regretting having given it away, but I am happy for him that he has a great laptop.

        It's on it's 3rd battery, 2nd hard disk and 3rd power adaptor, 2nd backlight cathode but I know its still got some love to give. And for sure you can't beat the price.
        - As soon as I think up a good sig it's going here.

          I went through the Alienware order process and in the end the price was better for this one.

            Toshiba's are one of the worst laptop/computer maker. But you're not fully an idiot because you still didn't go with Apple.

                  I will very likely swap out the 64GB solid state drive with a 128 or bigger and the 500GB with a 1 terabyte or whatever is biggest and available when the 500 gets close to capacity. - I am a hardcore data packrat.

                  Been going back and forth about what laptop to replace my aging 1st gen unibody macbook pro with, I am much more productive with Win than I am with Mac.

                  I divide my time between a number of locations and even countries so being able to move around is a consideration.

                  I also am something of a gamer so being able to let off steam by laying zombie hordes to rest is also important.

                  Considered going with something smaller and more portable, even thought about getting a macbook air for the portablility and pimping my desktop a little to do the heavy lifting but in the end I just want one PC to do everything and couldn't find anything better than this.

                  If you had around 2 grand to spend on a laptop, what would you buy?
                  should be great... windows uses about 35-38 gb so keep your temp file cler and make sure apps load on the d drive. thr sager laptop I have was about 5K

                    Stats seem nice and Its most likely cheaper than from the company its self.

                        Very nice specs on It. I do fine with my i5 4gb ram for $800 though, almost 2k is a bit frisky for a laptop imo.
