Its not a question of whether it works or not…its a question of what kind of work load it can take. The older Dual Cores cannot take as much as the newer Core 2 Duos especially with the stuff you’d like to do. ---

**Toshiba blows**. I had a Satellite and gave it to my dad. The paint scratches off easily. The build is shoddy. You can hear it crackle and pop when lifting it up. The screen had a huge number of dead pixels 1 week after using it. The integrated sound had tons of static and disappointing bass. I also am using a Toshiba TV. The remote receiver is busted, so you can’t use the remote or buy a new one. A TV without remote control is hell. You know how long it takes to push the channel button until you get to the right channel? Just like the laptop, the paint-over-plastic was crap and scratches off easily. **I’d go with HP**. Dell has a habit of overheating. HP has the sturdiest build. Their speakers tend to be better too. ---

I can really see HP gaining a lot of market share if they continue to expand the Voodoo line or incorporate those designs into their future laptops. ---
