Toshiba Satellite A100-011

Hi, everyone! I am looking for a laptop, that would be a replacement for my desktop PC, mainly i need a laptop for it's portability, since i am a student i sure need it everywhere i go, and so i was thinking good quality for fair price, and so here i found this Toshiba laptop, now i am not a fan of toshiba, so don't know much abotu it's quality of laptops, i've read some of the posts on this forum but still i don't build up a full picture so i want to ask precisely does any one ow a - Toshiba Satellite A100-011 or similar to it the specs are:

Duo Core 2 1,8GHz, 1gb RAM, GeForce Go 7600 256, 160GB HDD, then there is USB, Wireless Networking, Bluetooth and every thing else i need... but t be honest with you the main concern will it withstand everyday usage, not overheat etc ? will be greatful for any information, thanks.

 

Something like the HP nc8430 will offer you better quality and support, but without having a clue as to your budget or what you plan to do with it, it's kind of hard to help. You might want to consider the FAQ and post there.

 

it's hard to speak on budget when my currency always differs from USD ;] but it's something about 1800 USD and i want a laptop for programing/modeling/movie making/various office work/little bit of gaming (that's why i'm interested in at least GF go 7300) if it wasn't for my addiction to gaming/modeling/movie making i've would have been satisfied with a macbook, and ofcourse it would be nice to know if this laptop can withstand 24hrs usage meaning won't it be deadly leaving it days on, to download something HUGE ?

 

ok according to FAQ here is the update:

1) ~1800USD
2) size - 15" - 16"
3) lithuania
4) i would prefere something from DELL but can't find a good solution
5) video editing, making/3d modeling/programing/gaming/everyday use internet, movies, office work etc...
6) yes i will be taking it but size doesn't matter as it notebook is already somewhat small and don't want nothing smaller then 15"
7) play all sorts of games, not the fancy style where you'd need a high-end hardware, that's why geforce 7600 is the perfect fit
8) i would need battery for lets say at least 2 hours of intense work
9) i'd like to see a notebook in person
10) i prefere Windows XP, Linux anything but VISTA
11) son't care whether it's wide screen or not
12) --
13) don't care about glossyness
14) don't care about the design as long as it's not to fancy and not too bad
15) when will i buy it - in the next 3 months, i want it to be functional for 4 years or more
16) a har drive from 80 to 120Gb will satisfy me completely
17) need DVD-CD/Rw
