Purchased the Toshiba Sattelite L505 from Office Depot before Windows 7 was released.  Toshiba sent the upgrade swiftly and at no cost to me.  I was not entirely happy with Vista's performance on the laptop, though I can't say that I've yet found a computer running Vista that I've been thrilled with.  As such, I loaded a copy of Ubuntu onto it, and it runs great!  The onboard video drivers run the highest quality effects, and the machine is definitely powerful enough to run Windows games and programs under emulation (with WINE).  Physically, the laptop is constructed well, and battery life isn't an issue (goes about 3.5 hours on battery, and I know Linux isn't the best with battery life).  As a side note, I have also run the Windows 7 RC on this, and was pleased with it's performance as well, although I prefer Linux.  All in all, I rated this 4 out of 5 only because a slightly longer battery life would be nice :)
