    No, don't waste your money ! ;)
    I have X300-13o, I saved my money and bought it, now im verry regret. Service ???, I'm sure that Toshiba dosn't know even what that is. I want to sell it and buy Sager or Asus (Becouse those is best). But I can't becouse no body wants it.

    I have yet not tried Sager, but very good feedback on those laptops. I have used Asus for 4 years, and can say that; Asus is best between: HP, Toshiba And Acer...

    I didin't like the Toshiba at all.
    This is my first Toshiba laptop and;
    No support,
    No Driver Updates,
    No RAID support,
    Locked BIOS (?) [I was not able to edit Voltage on GPU becouse of this],
    Upgrade is Nightmare...
    Not good overall quality.

    Sad to hear that as a previous owner of two toshiba's i was really pleased with them(especially the sound)

    Guess i'll have to look at the Asus G51/G60 then.

    The sound is good, but like I said the driver part is the worst. I downloaded the lastets sound driver forum laptopvide2go. If you ask Toshiba they even don't about this update. Anyway, I have used Asus 3-4 and was verry happy with it. My next laptop will be Asus or Sager. Not tried Sager yet but very good feed back. Now my paints har started to rip off. I'm going to post pictures after school today. I P.M you the link...
    :(

    But, you can always ask other owners too. This is my meaning. And one last thing: the models with nVidia chipset seems to be a little bit better when it comes to overclocking ect.

    Yeah PM me id love to see it.

    Im thinking about the Asus G60 this time around you should consider it as well.
    It'll have quadcore, 1 TB HDD, and a GTX 260 it will be great.
