>>The Dell's are nice machines...but I think the Toshiba Qosmio G25 is a much better machine than either of the Dells. Has the 17" display (gotta have it), can hold 2 hard-drives, has built in TV Tuner and Windows XP Media Center Editon on it. (Which is a superset of PRO - and YES you can hook the thing up to a domain - dont let anyone tell ya you can't). I've had a Toshiba P25-609 for about 2 years now - which also has the 17" display, TV Tuner, Windows XP MCE, etc. - Its been a fantastic machine. Gonna hange onto it but thinking of getting the Qosmno G25 for myself for xmas...heh
