    Just got a toshiba ST9 with core 2 T5500 (1.83 ghz), 2GB ram, and geforce go 7600 in staples for $1499 canadian (it is on special for 200 off the regular price). I am currently typing on it!


    I may get around and post a few benchmarks later on today. :) There was still 6 units left at the store I was in, so if you were waiting for this laptop to come out in retail like I was, hurry up and go grub yours online at staples.ca.

    After using this for about a day and half, my initial opinion is that it is a very good laptop, almost perfect for everyday use but not without flaws.

    First, the build quality of this laptop seems to be pretty good. There is very little flex with the body of the laptop, the keyboard seems to be firm with minor flex in the middle. I have always being a fan of toshiba keyboards and this one is no exception.

    The screen seems to be good, with minor lackage at the bottom.

    The performance of this laptop without question is excellent. With some of the latest technology packed in, it will perform any regular task and most game with ease.

    One of the things that give me a pleasant surpirse is the speakers are very very good. I mean I have never expected a laptop speaker to sound so rich... I think it may even be of better quality than my previous desktop creative speakers. Well ... its a harman/kardon after all. :) I still got about 2 weeks to play around with thing before I will have to keep it (2 weeks return policy), but so far I am pretty happy with my purchase.

    Hope this helps Lord kelvan, good luck with your purchase
