Welcome, it's a giant forum with a lot of unbiased people. I'm glad a lot of people come on here to check out systems from many manufacturers. Some people think Dell, Sony, Apple and Compaq/HP are the only ones out there. What's wierd...

Yes, the Quadro is insanely great. Too bad ASUS doesn't have something like that. The x700 that we carry is great for gaming. I've got a worker at EA Sports in Marina del Rey asking me about how well our systems are with gaming. I mean...

I like the microft ones, very comfortable. Basically, I like anyone where you can pop in the dongle so you wont lose it. It like "Stow and Go". I believe logitech has one too. V500, I think.

I would disable the firewall on the system and let the router do the protection... that is if all fails. As for not being able to connect, try installing the netbeui or IPX/SPX/Netbios protocal in the network properties. Same area where...

Well if that's the case, you can always send it in to Toshiba for repairs if it continues. As for the extended warranty, I wouldn't get it since that system is pretty affordable to begin with. Unless the price on the extended warranty is...

As for the performance, I wouldnt say it's noticeable by many or at all. If you're working on large files, such as Photoshop files or creating giant PDF's or any other stressful tasks, then you may notice it being a tad faster. But from...

Yes, it'll take larger HD's. When the manual was printed, I'm sure the 100gb drives werent out yet, or it could be just copied from the older manuals. But to answer your question- it does take larger drives.

I doubt its from the machine over heating. I've seen this problem before and i've also seen that laptop. It's a good little unit, but if you only bought it 3 weeks ago, I suggest you try to return it or have them exchange it with you....
