    I have read nothing but good things about the M200/205 series. it's prob the only toshiba in recent times to yield such positive reviews everywhere I look.
    If you have one, what is your take? Circuit City has one now for about $750.00, after instant $150 rebates.
    thanks!

    The tested configuration here is very very weak model but if you get a model with t7500 , it is a powerful model.

    So I do not like benchmark a particular configuration and rate a model with vraious configurations like this one.

    Mine is completely different model from the one tested here or at Cnet.

    For 750US , I think it is a great buy but the keyboard is, as the review here says, not so good.

    Battery life is good about 3 and half hours and screen is excellent , even usable in sun light.

    Hope this helps a bit.

    Or you can go to Toshibadirect site and configure it as you like ....or you can get it with T5550 (1.8ghz) processor(at Circuit city) or T7250(2ghz) (at best buy).

    I think t7250 is a good cpu and is cheap ,just 30US more than the T5450.
