I have a toshiba portege 2010 and it runs very fast, reliable and most
of all easy to take a long anywhere! I wouldn’t go for anything less. :)

||
||Hello Feisal,
||I just heard recently that all Dell, and many other big name laptops
||are made in China (3 cents an hr) now, most by a company called
something
||like
||Gigantz, so the chances are no matter what brand you buy it will be
||from the same factory, to know where the machine is made look on the
||serial tag. My Toshiba was made in the Philippines (15 cents an hr)
||best regards

||
||FS> i need a laptop as a backup for my desktop system.  it's been 5
years

||FS> i bought my last laptop and every month it seems the technology,

replace

i've

as
||good or
||FS> a resource hog?  i've read that 15" monitors are more than enough
but
||others
||FS> claim the 17" monitors are a must for traders. HELP.
||
||FS> i have the bad habit of paying for more than i need, but i also
don't

of a

||
