New Notebook Computer

I'd actually say no to the Toshiba.

I have a Toshiba M35-X and... well, it's been love-hate.

First off, it was a thousand bucks. Second off, it only had a Celeron M (What kind of laptop only has a CELERON M FOR A THOUSAND BUCKS?), so it performs... iffily at best.

Third, and most importantly, I have had to reinstall Windows no less than three times in the 10 months I've owned it. The first time literally within weeks of buying it, the second a month or so later, and the third happened just last night.

The second and third times? The EXACT SAME DIRECTORY WENT CORRUPT. Literally. The first might've had the same problem, but I can't remember.

Also, I've had to send it in for hardware issues once. Can't remember exactly what went wrong, but it was annoying as hell. =\

EDIT: Now that I think back... it MIGHT'VE been the motherboard going bad. BLARGH.

So... yeah. Granted, it was a graduation present for me and one that I had no say in, but my laptop has been underpriced, overpowered, and one hassle after another.

And that's not the miscellaneous issues either, such as it using a wonky power adapter that means that my parents can't use the $200 external power supply they bought with this, or the FIRST laptop I had of the exact same model being DOA (although that WAS Circuit City's fault; the first was just a refurbished laptop that had been returned because... it was DOA. =\).

Lord knows I'm not buying from Toshiba again, though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
