    As some may know, there was an issue with the wireless switch on the M40 laptop. I have gone through 3 motherboards swaps and my bios are up to date (1.70 for nvidia video card version).

    I basically had it and I'm calling Toshiba for a replacement. That being said, do they replace the exact same laptop? Or do I get to choose something along that price?

    If so, how would M70 stack up against M40? Or is there other better options?

    Thanks!

    as a former owner of both models, i would ditch toshiba altogether and go with another brand. both are horrible models, cheap parts, cheap quality and so many bugs. i finally did it this week and got an ASUS and couldnt be happier. no more stress or troubles. toshiba is just junk.

    Thats all very troubling to me. :(
    I just got my M55 2 days ago and its been nothing but pure joy to use, I hope it doesn't give me any problems in the future. :(
    People have complained about its build quality, especially with its keyboard flexing but I've had no problems with that. I LOVE my M55 so far.
