    Hello !
    I need an advice about this laptop. Anybody has it? What is your opinion? How good is the screen on it? Does it have DL DVD burner like Toshiba Satellite M40? I have heard that Toshiba Satellite P30JC1 has WXGA TFT With TruBrite screen but actually the screen is not that great. I want the High definition screen with that glossy finish. I cannot find detailed specs of this toshiba P30 RG1 laptop on toshiba site or anywhere else except for http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&dept=1&sku_id=0665000FS10056246&catid=11520&newdeptid=1.

    Thanks for your replies.

    I ordered customized one but returned it *unopened* .

    While they advertise it as trubrite its a regular screen , only after you order you'd see that in the invoice .

    The look of it was hidden for a long time so much that the toshiba ads at pc magazine had shown wrong pictures of this notebook - which looks bad by the way .

    Finally I've seen some hi-res pics that show major build quality issues , new toshibas aren't as good as old ones .
