4760
Hello folks I'm brand new here, my first post and here is my story, several weeks ago I spilled a chocolate protein shake onto my Toshiba 5105-S901 and it died terribly, I took it back to Compusa hoping the warranty would somehow take effect, no way jose. After a week or so later it comes back from GSS unrepaired and with an estimate of $1450, and with no promise that would repair everything. So I sent it back to the Toshiba repair facility this time where they supposedly will replace any major item like the motherboard, CPU etc for $300. No word yet on it.
This last week I've been on Ebay looking and bidding on the P25-S607/609 series. Also a company in Nebraska called Xotic PC that has several models of the 17" notebooks. They are around $2100 and similar to the 4760.
And then I stumbled upon this discussion forum and Sagers.
I want the 17" screen cause I fly from Alaska to Florida and watching movies is a good way to pass 14 hours., I really want a desktop replacement and a fair to excellant gamer that handles HALO (my absolute favorite!!!) and be mostly modern for awhile....
Questions are this, should I buy the 5680 with the smaller screen but better vid card and the second tray for a battery? or go ahead and get the 4760? I am reading something about a 4780? what is it compared to the 5680? And also i just bought an Electrovaya 160BB (15volt) battery, anybody know what the AC adapter for these models put out? 15 volts? From the somewhat negative review of the Toshiba P25 S609 I probably won't buy it, just looking for some good shopping advice here, many thanks.
, that is one awsome laptop. One of my concerns is fan noise. With a fullblown desktop processor with HT that thing must run hot. When you are just casually typing is fan noise audable (I work in class with my computer so this is a big concern for me).
