    Hey guys. I'm noticing there's not really too many people talking about the G55 atm. I'm still trying to decide what kinda of laptop to buy, and this one seemed to have a good price for quad core. I'm wondering tho, is it cheaper do to the fact that it has a Toshiba Quad Core HD Processor as opposed to an Intel Core 2 Quad Core. What type of performance difference might you see between the two??

    Ok, I didn't understand most of that, but I see what you're saying! Kinda misleading labeling it in that way... Thanks for the info! :)
