[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1717292, member: 423"] My last computer was a Tosh (and it still runs after 4 years), and my wife's is, and my F-i-L's is, and my sister in law's computer is... but I just couldn't get over hte cheaper feel to the new Toshibas unless you step up to the nicer Portege model ($750+). The Asus U series (U56 = 15.6", U46 = 14") have some aluminum in the body, and just felt higher quality build to me. Also, mine has a fairly standard keyboard layout, longer battery life, num pad, and is very slim. The Core i5 has been very fast to me, for what I do with it, watch movies, listen to music, word processing, Excel, and web browsing. With the battery life, I can take it to work and not have to plug it in all day. It has HDMI out, for external monitor or TV use, USB 3.0. That's all I needed. My IT guy also highly recommended the Lenovo computers, and I very nearly bought one of them, until this one went on sale, and had the same specs as what I wanted for $100 cheaper. Also, didn't have the model I wanted in stock. [/QUOTE]
