i think i have heard it all. i agree with EYEFUSION 100% as far as security, nothing is sure! lets be real guys, think about it, things are able to run with minor defects and you not knowing about the defects....so YES it can have a security issue!!! dhosta - man have u been living under a rock???? toshiba the cheapest brand?? PUHHH-LEEEESSSEEEEEE man!!! eyefusion - ur post from yesterday was definately funny....leave it to u to talk .... masturbation, sugar free cookies, khasi ko masu and excersize in the same post referring to the topic PURCHASING A LAPTOP and get ur point accross...only U can do such a thing!! raazstone - he is looking for a NEW LAPTOP not a PRE-OWNED porn storage unit and where do u get off thinking ANYONE is gonna pay $1049.00 USED...u can go to ebay find what u have and get free ALREADY PURCHASED AND INSTALLED software for half of that price...are u nutz or have u lost ur everloving mind??? btw.....most if not every laptop is "wireless ready" as u call it!!! if they aren't what's the use of a "laptop" they are referred to as a portable device for a reason dude. if ur looking for a good laptop and ur able to spend the money, i wouldn't go MAC and i definately would NEVER go toshiba.... SONY VAIO is the way to go if not, IBM THINKPAD is a great little machine. It's lightweight for those of you who are not body builders, and its capabilities are amazing!!! gateway sucks, they are big, bulky and like EYEFUSION says...it's like they are gonna fly away when u fire them up. god forbid u install anything other then what gateway supplied you with, it will crash!!! as far as HP goes....damn those suck as well!! i think every company has their own nitch in its life cycle....HP's nitch is definately not a laptop or a desktop, their's is a printer!!!! HP is cheap, a peice of crap, the mouse gets stuck and u can't move it, i have to slam my work laptop daily so the mouse will work. SONY VAIO, now we're talking!!!! im not buying an IBM as i dont need it. i have a VAIO, it seriously rocks best of luck!!!
