Its kind of old now, and I can't afford to get a new laptop...

I upgraded my two year old Toshiba 18.4 notebook with 8gb of ram and a plextor 256mb SSD and Windows 7...

I would totally buy Toshiba again...

I did have P4 Sony Vaio. I gave it to my mom... She used it for a long time and it is her backup now, but still works except for the battery. Which is a amazing, most P4 notebooks have burned out a long time ago.

If i were to get a new laptop i think I'd get an Alienware MX11 because most of the time when I travel via plane my toshiba 18.4 is just too much. In fact, if it was even 1/8" larger it would not fit in the TSA security bins.  I end up taking my netbook and a netbook with even dual core atom is not like a real computer...

I guess is a real shame they are discontinuing the MX11... http://www.neowin.net/news/alienware-laptops-refreshed-mx11-discontinued

just can't afford to get one now unless I want to live without a refrigerator.
