    There is a big difference in price between The Qosmio serie and the Satellite serie. Aside from the performance and softwares, is there a big difference in quality , or it is just that the Qosmio come with more gadgets ?

    Quality plays a huge diff. I own the Qosmio. And the satellites I have seen in stores, are really cheaply built.

    Nice choice! The Qosmios one of the best mulitmedia laptops out there in the market, and come with the best speakers in their respective class. Are you going to be getting a F25, G15, or a G25?

    I am not rich enough for the G25 (aaah, but what a machine it is...one day, maybe!).

    I am going for the F20-GS1 (I guess that it's the canadian equivalent of the F25). It is a 1000$ cheaper than the G20.

    LOL mine was a bit more than that and I got mine about 1.25 months ago. How do you like yours? O, and the reason my name is Dellguy is because I was going to get an XPS.

    Yeah, I thought that was pretty ironic, but I guess you just have to stick with it :p
