As for the uses...browsing (if it doens't have internal wlan, I'll just toss in a card), watching DVDs, light gaming. For comparison, my P3-933/GeForce 256 is enough as it is.

How much is it?

Looks good to me. the GF2 Go is a plus, even if its only 16MB memory, it'll still let you play UT.

It's $1499, and with those features it sounds like a steal.

yea sounds pretty nice

15" display isn't necessary. What's the native res on that Toshiba laptop?

[filburt1]

1024x768, just enough.

BTW according to that PDF the screen size is 14.1

[filburt1]

Approx. 3-3.5H battery life; Recharge time: 3.0H unit off / 4H-11H unit on

Nice

I especially like this bit

The 3005 played Quake III Arena (in 640 by 480 Normal mode) at 95 frames per second, and even in 800 by 600 High-Quality mode sizzled through 70 frames per second. The latter benchmark was literally 100 times faster than one stutter-stop notebook we tried recently.

As long as people still play Q3 and UT you can have a mini-LAN party at college without lugging your big computer

This certainly has promise above the Dell, and since CompUSA offers it I don't have to pay shipping either. So far Toshiba is teh winnar.

My dad said I could get it after I graduate (May 30). Good enough for me, enough time to investigate some more. My mentor at work has a Toshiba laptop and it's really nice, the best speakers I've ever heard, and a nice keyboard.

That burner write speed sucks though, 4x. Won't be using the burner that much though, probably only the RW part.

By the time graduation comes aroudn there'll be an even leeter laptop available...

That's only 45 days...as long as the price stays the same and the leetness goes up, then alrighty
