    Hey, first time poster on this site. Just wondering if there were any P100 models that allowed for customization that have a 7600 as an available choice. I found one of them but all it has is the 7300Pro. There was a prebuilt P100 that had a 7800 or 7600 I believe, but it was over my 1300-1500 dollar price. Is there anyway to get a 7600 or 7800 on the P100 customized one?

    Here's a review on a Toshiba P105 - the only difference being the GPU. IMO, it's quite pleasing. Note that the better the GPU, more the heat.

    Man, I wish I had seen this post last weekend, 'cause I was exacty in the same boat you are. Toshiba had a 1-day 25%-off sale on 7/31. I've been waiting for weeks for that 25%-off promo to come around again. Here's what I configured:

    Satellite P100-ST7211 - Toshiba Laptop
    Intel® Core™ Duo Processor T2500 (2.0GHz; 2MB L2 Cache; 667MHz FSB), Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition, Peacock Blue, 1024MB PC5300 DDR2 667MHz SDRAM (1024MBx1), 17" Widescreen SXGA+ TruBrite™ display (1680x1050), NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7600 with 256MB discrete graphics memory, 80GB HDD (5400rpm, Serial-ATA), DVD SuperMulti drive (+/-R Double Layer), Intel® PRO/Wireless LAN 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g), Bluetooth® (v.2.0) + EDR, Li-Ion Battery (9-Cell),
    PSPA3U-0VU01T

    $2,129.00
    Instant Rebate
    $319.35
    $1,809.65

    I got mine for $1596.75. AFAIK they had this exact same sale back in 7/10-7/11, but the price for some of the components have come down by several hundred bucks. So I would advice that you wait until the next big sale. You can sign up to get email notification on future sales. I should be getting mine in a little over a week. Good luck and let us know what you end up getting.
