    I think its a good deal if you don't want a notebook that can game. If you want a notebook that can game, customize an M40 (the same thing as the M45, except customizable) on Toshiba's website, and stick in a 6600 Go card in it.

    Its good deal..check the RAM speed whether its 533Mhz or not...in M45-s269 its 533Mhz matching the processor FSB..

    Only concern is the build quality of satellite is not too great the chasis looks cheap.
