If you have been using Toshiba laptops for a while then it is a natural
keyboard to type on. I've been using the porteges for a while and am
extremely happy with my updgrade to this, I just wish the gfz card was
an ATI 7500 so DVD playing would be smooth, bar that I have no other
gripes with it, if only someone would write a usb -> serial port
converter driver for FreeBSD I wouldn't need windows on it at all.

Cheers,

Mark
