    Yeah I am on vacation and I head to staples while waiting for food and I see the tx2500 for $900 vs $1000 at home so I walk out with a new 12in laptop. The wife is actually supportive since I have had the other one for 3 years and she sorta understands that I needed the upgrade (I use my 12in for work at work). So Im typing on it right now and wow is all I have to say about this keyboard, and setup. It runs warm just like my old AMD turion laptop does but not too bad for basic use on my lap. I havent gamed on it yet as Im out of town and I dont have my games with me, but Im going to have a blast installing orange box and a few rts games. All in all Im extremly happy with this laptop so far and cant wait to really get into it.

    The only gripes I have are the OS is a home edition, and the fact that Im not 100% sure how my wife is taking the impulse upgrade. For those who own this laptop how do you like it so far? Have anyone upgraded to vista business?

    I don't have that particular laptop, but with Vista business you're sacrificing certain media and entertainment options.

    I use this for work, the most media Id use it for is to watch a movie(rare) or transfer pictures.
