    Kudos to Toshiba, I've always found my old XP-M to be as reliable as any Intel laptop, abeit the cheaper price..

    The fact that not everyone will be doing intensive enough work on their laptop anyways. A slower and cheaper system with dual core like a TL-50 should be more than enough.

    And having used a T7200, its no faster than my Pentium D 920 in my office, and with only PDF making, writing and some minor molecular sims running in the background, I think I should have saved USD500+ on an AMD lappy without the bells and whistles..

    In the end the consumer wins..
    Me want Ultrabook
