Iwas really looking to getting a laptop but having troubles picking 1. I was told that Toshibas made good laptops and have been in the buisness a long time. Thats why im considering them. I was just wondering what shud i look for in a laptop around 1500 canadian. Is 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP good enough to power most of my games?

Matthew,
The Toshiba laptops are excellent. I used one for many years without ANY problems. They hold up well.
The absolute BEST laptops are from IBM. I currently use a T42 with a 1.7M processor that is by far the best laptop I have ever owned. If you're wondering what other laptops I have owned; Dell (the newer ones have flimsy keyboard), Fujitsu (Quite good), Gateway (fair), the others don't count.
Good luck.

Probably not.
If games are important to you, don't even consider a laptop. With a laptop, you are stuck with the components it comes with. You cannot upgrade them like a desktop.

Toshibas are excellent and IBM are top notch also...but Apple Power books have it all over any PC entry. They are quick, sleek, and the graphics are phenominal. I have seen 12" Power Books that blow away 15" pc's fro clarity and overall image. I am not an Apple lover, and they can keep their overpriced desktops, but for laptops, they really are a class act!
