Toshiba vs. Dell

Disco, Before I bought my laptop, I asked the guys at the repair shop at Fry's Electronics. They recommended Fujitsu because they require the least amount of repair and maintenance. It even has wifi, but haven't used it, because I need an extra phone line for it.

I recall you were comparin' that Toshiba to a Sony a while back. That time, I voted for the Toshiba - better machine for the money, IMO. This time, on my scorecard, the Toshiba loses - I'd go for the Dell - better display, larger hard drive and more memory tip the scale for me. The Toshiba has a niftier optical drive, but that isn't enough to bring it to the top, in my book. Besides, for a few bucks more, the Dell could be configured with an equivalent optical drive.
