I have one of the Toshiba dual processor laptops.

It has always worked quite well and I have not had any issues using several windows at a time- while some of the older laptops out there were really lacking processing power.

One slight annoyance is that there is no built in card reader and I had to get one to transfer my files.

I would buy another Toshiba laptop, if they can fix one of their major issues.

They have had recalls on the batteries for leaking and exploding and the local shop I bought from had no info.

I called Toshiba directly and they were quite helpful- exept I had to leave my computer...
