I say the device now since about 4 weeks and must, I am very satisfied. I was looking for a notebook for photo and video editing (shoot photos with a DSLR and movies with a MiniDV camcorder) and for general applications of the Internet. Here and there work to be done with an office suite. One or the other games (Doom3, Test Drive Unlimited, Splinter Cell Pandora, NeedForSpeed) I treat myself from also and.
So far I am not yet come to the performance limits of the notebook to the field of games. Have expanded to 4GB main memory. The disadvantage here is the Toshiba notebook with 2x1GB RAM memory bars extradite at only two locations in total. So you have something to fall deeper into their pockets here.
Highlight is the speed of video encoding. Have been drawn with a relatively old PC to my videos from DV tape to DVD and the computer has required hours of coding. Have just a 1 1/2-hour video course of 1: 20h banned on DVD. I reached the as performance.
The included software is extensive. Ranging from wireless tools to burning program. Windows Vista Home Premium is preinstalled and a recovery DVD included. Here are the ghosts: one prefers XP the other swears by Vista. I have taken up my contact with Vista here and have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. Certainly, the system is very resource intensive, but I have found improvements over XP in many areas.
As I said, a total of "a good value for the money spend".
