I also have a Toshiba (Satelite M-35X) and am very happy with it. I really
like the large screen for watching dvd's and the 40gig hard drive gives me
plenty of room for downloading things like: Coast Pilots, Medicine Chest,
MP3's, Sailing Directions, etc. The only nit I have to pick is that you
can't get a cheap cigarette lighter adapter for this computer. Apparently,
you have to buy a convertor for $49 (just ordered one yesterday) to pump the
boats 12V system up to the computer's required 17V (I think) system. The
800 number provided quick, friendly service.

Subject: Re: lv-ab: Which computer?
I just bought a Toshiba and am very happy with it so
far. What model Toshiba is this?
How do they compare in other ways, like hard drive
size, RAM size, other features, cost, builtin wifi,
external connectors like serial and USB ports, etc.?
