    I am looking for a laptop and I've come to a stand still. I found the Qosmio and fell in love with it the second I saw it. But reading the few things said about it on this site, I don't know if it's going to be the best. Some people have suggested the Satellite. I want to know the major differences and if anyone have first hand experience with either of them, please tell me what you know. Money isn't a problem, so I don't care that the Qosmio costs more, if it is the better computer.
    I will mainly be using it for school work, a few architectural design programs, photoshop, and the sims 2. I know the graphics card on the Qosmio isn't the greatest, but I have been told that it will more than do the job I need it to.

    Perhaps you should consider the FAQ and post there.

    I say go for the Qosmio - it is overpriced if you ask me, but if money isn't a factor then I guess its OK. Basically the graphics card is the main difference between the two (aside from price); the 7900 Go in the Satellite is much better than the 7600 Go in the Qosmio. The Qosmio, however, has a slightly better screen and has a better speaker system though.

    Go with the P105. Aero, you are thinking of the G35-AV650. The G35-AV600 only has a 7300. That doesn't even begin to compare with the 7900.
    Qosmio is way overpriced, I'd agree. Then again, so is the MacBook. It all depends on what you are willing to pay for.

    If money is a case, then you right. But if not...Go with superb quality Qosmio (better screen,better sound,futuristic work,sexy black)

    After debating for a few weeks, I decided to go in another direction. I'm going to get the 17" MacBook Pro. Thanks everyone for your help.
