Great to be posting again!

I don't have much time, so forgive me for being direct.  I'll be going through a few different schools over the next couple of months and I've decided to buy a laptop to keep myself ocupied when I'm not training.  The one that's caught my attention is this one.  I was going to get this one, but thought the extra 40 GB of hard drive space and extra 1 GB of RAM was worth the additional $50.

So, what say you, ARFCOM?  Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for reading.

Hey Justin!
Glad to see you back and thanks for serving.

I've heard Toshiba is good but I drink deeply of the Lenovo
kool aid because I used to have a Thinkpad(IBM) and it was great.  Just another suggestion.

I'm posting this from an HP Pavilian dv8000-series laptop.  It's almost 2 years old, and it gets  used about 8-12 hours a day, every day.  It's handled pretty roughly sometimes, and is often full of dust from being used in the warehouse, but we've had no trouble with it.

Our manager bought a Toshiba that sees similar abuse, and it also is holding up well.

I put off buying a laptop for a long time, but they've finally gotten good enough to use as a desktop replacement for most tasks.

I'd by another HP with no reservations based on my experience.
