    so i was thinking of purchasing a Dell Inspiron, but i've always wanted a Toshiba Satellite because of their screens (which are way better than Dells for sure)

    i wanna get a Dell Inspiron 9200 or perhaps wait for the 9300 to come out, BUT i really want a Toshiba (it's just Toshiba's specs and customizing aren't as convienant as Dell)

    MY QUESTION IS, are there going to be any new Toshiba Satellite models coming out soon with a PCI-E graphics card slot? i'm mostly going to use my laptop for "school work"[ ;)] you know[ :p]

    CAN ANYONE OUT THERE SAVE ME FROM MAKING A MISTAKE AND BUYING A DELL! LOL, any and ALL advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks for those who respond[ :D]

    TO ARRIVE AT THE TRUTH, WE HAVE TO REASON CORRECTLY.

    Well, there's the one I just received :) The Satellite M40-JM3, in Canada, at least.

    It has a Sonoma 1.6ghz P-M, 1x512mb DDR333, a GeForce 6600 128mb DDR graphic card (that's a pci-express).

    And yeah, the screen is amazing, but it's a 18bits matrix (not a true 24 bits, so there is some amount of dithering in the picture), if it's important to you, I don't know Dell's though.
