Score 7.0/10

Good points:: Good design, reasonable price at the time of purchase.
Bad points:: Runs very slow, maybe should have just windows XP as the basic I believe, is whats causing the long boot up.
Other than that, a good laptop.

Mike, Upwell, Wisbech

Score 2.0/10

Good points:: Hardware is very good, well build and reliable but would expect that from a Tosh.
Bad points:: In a word - VISTA. It is slow, takes ages to boot, everything else is slow, cannot run video smoothly. It is also cumbersome to use and if it asks me to confirm something again I'll scream. It is a great machine totally and utterly wrecked by a very poor OS. I would roll back to XP if I knew I could do this easily

Also the wide screen (and I know there is little choice in laptops today) does make working with projectors more tricky.
