    What is the high performance and lowest cost toshiba (less than 1,200 USD), that can do this without getting tired and last at least 2 years:

    -Digital photography
    -Processing Satellite images
    -Maps
    -Continuous job, all day
    -Work with heavy documents, like designing books, large word documents, etc.

    I've seen A60, but there is something I don't like: video share memory. What do yo think? Should I pay atention to share memory? Is it important for me.

    I'm really concerned about it, because I see most toshiba uses video share memory. I want toshiba, but I don't know which one is the best for me. Dell is the other one I'd like.

    Suggestions

    Thanks

    You're not going to find a lot of inexpensive Toshibas that have dedicated video memory. You may want to try looking at the Satellite M30 or M40 series. Most of the Toshiba line has shared video memory. Another model you may want to look at is the Tecra M2 & M3, It starts over $1300US, but has the dedicated video you're looking for.
