    I saw these at Circuit City - they are actually pretty nice, much better than the A135 design.

    I definately got the impression that this was meant to compete more directly with HP's multimedia dv6000 and dv9000 laptops, based on the design. It had a nice gloss to it with the black, and they moved the quick-buttons from left side to the top (above the keyboard), and made them look more multimedia-ish. The speakers also look cool, and there's blue led lights for various functions. The touchpad is also larger than the other Satellites.

    Overall it's a pretty sharp machine, and the keys on the keyboard are better, more snappy and less "Mushy" than the A135. However the keyboard had considerable flex to it. I didn't like how big the words TOSHIBA were on the top of the laptop.

    FYI - "bond" posted some pics here:

    I see the P205 is on sale this week at Best buy, went too my local store and asked where they have a display too look at since it is in there ad this week. The respond was, have too sell some of the old models first before we put out so we have room for it....LOL.... I just stood there like, are you kidding me. So I might just go back tommorrow morning and demand that I see one out of box, how else am i going too buy it. Damn if I take it home first, then don't like it, and they want a 15 percent restocking fee....

    Anybody else look at these. I like the looks of them versus the older models, according too the pictures I have saw.

    Anybody else have any thing they would share on the Toshiba line as far as duribility and if need a repair...How hard is it...
