After much deliberation - Laptop

For some time now I have wanted a gaming laptop. With the site continuing to grow and the need for more trips away from the office. I decided that I needed to get a laptop to be able to be a mobile office. My netbook is great and more than capable of jumping online day to day, im posting from it now even. But I needed something with the largest screen I could find, and enough power to do both photo and video editing. Gaming was not a requirement, but a bonus. Infact my original budget was looking at cheap 17 inch laptops. After a bump in the budget, I found myself looking again and came across a few deals on gaming laptops. Last night I bit the bullet and placed my order. It was a hard decision. It came down to more performance or style.

I decided to go with a bump in performance with the TOSHIBA Qosmio X505-Q865


Intel® Core™ i5-430M processor
18.4 inch screen
7200 rpm hd
Nvidia 360GTS video card
great speakers

I agree with what you are saying Cory. Do you take your laptop from the hotel to your job site also? I really just need something to set up a "mobile office" at a hotel or away from my desk, even at a lan. My netbook should fill in the gaps

lmao, no problems at all. I think that what im looking for the larger laptop will work out. But if your case, I can see how the smaller laptop would help you. Of course, it could be worse. You could be taking your full pc on trips with you. :-p

on a side note, anyone have any idea on how to say the name?

lol, well im not sure what it is. But that is a Q

Now we just need to have a laptop lan

i was thinking main street. But you get the idea

ran home on lunch to see if i could meet the UPS guy, was worried it may require a signature. The laptop was here waiting for me, he was about 5 minutes ahead of me.

Just setting it up really quick. Sitting next to my 27.5 inch monitor it seems normal sized. But in a way the screen reminds me of one of my 23 inch monitors lol
