    Am I right in thinking that the M100 will only be available through ToshibaDirect? The M105 is the preconfigured model, right?

    I've seen the M105 offered on other websites, but I wish I could try out the M100 in the store. The M105 seems to have a slightly different build-- it weighs slightly more. I'd like to see some comparison pictures of the two, to see if there actually are any differences.

    Also, I never see any x1400 option in the M105s on the net, which I'd want to get.

    Will we ever see M100s in stores, or will I need to order it "blind" from Toshiba?

    I got my M100-JG2 at Staples and they also sell it all over the place so it's not exclusive to Toshiba direct if that helps.

    I'm in the US..

    Deaddy-- are you in Canada? The online staples store for CA has them, but haven't seen it in US. Also-- did they offer a dedicated GPU (x1400) at the Staples where you purchased it? I get the feeling that it is integrated graphics only, at the store.

    I am in Canada, at staples.ca and in-store they only offer the one model, M100-JG2 which has the integrated intel gpu. The also sell this model at Best Buy and Futureshop both online and in-store, so it's not hard to find here at all. Have you checked Amazon? Let me know if you have any more questions.
