    Both out now; very similar pound for pound, spec for spec (seemingly). However, the Dell comes out $800 more expensive for a comparable M8. Am I missing something here? Can the price void be that big?

    I have cross posted onto Dell to get opinions.......

    I have never seen a brand of notebooks that breaks near as often as Toshiba. In fact, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a working Toshiba.

    Disclaimer: I'm referring to their consumer series. The business class tablets tend to work.

    My M-55 has been working just fine for 1 1/2 years now. ;)

    Most consumer range notebook brands get bad reviews.

    It's always the Biz range that works.
