This system needs a much better graphics system. An Nvidia 7600 w/only 256MB is an insult to this laptop. With all these specs, they should have a 7950 GTX w/512MB at the very least, and maybe even an SLI setup with two 7950's for a total of 1GB.

They're missing an extended keyboard, which I prefer (although some don't care for those). But they have plenty of room to make it happen. And while they're at it, backlight it, too.

They also need a swiveling video camera. Every laptop these days should have one of those.

The last thing would be a Dual-link DVI port. I know they have HDMI in there, and that's fantastic, but they also have VGA at the same time. Why not have DL-DVI and HDMI at the same time, instead? I'd like to hook up to those larger 30" LCD's, and those require DL-DVI, not just DVI, and certainly not VGA.

I'm not sure, but I think this system may even have a biometric fingerprint reader. If not, they need to add that as well.

And yes, 2GB RAM should be standard at that price. 1GB is a joke.


If they make those changes, I couldn't imagine anything else I'd want.


I LOVE the volume dial. You never see that anymore, and I'd prefer that to buttons anytime. So great job on that, Toshiba. And great job on the other specs! Just please consider the new ones I listed above.

These computers have cost me a considerable amount of lost time, money and caused a great deal of frustration and inconvenience.
I need to find a firm pursuing a class action regearding these models.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 5:56AM
