I can't quite figure out why the black 2ghz is £130 more than the white while the sole upgrade, the HD, is a £40 build-to-order on the other. Paying for style, I presume.
I'm tempted to upgrade in lieu (in the short term at least) of getting a new desktop (since I solely work on the laptop and the PC is only for games). Decisions, decisions.
Nice machine for the target market, and the processor levels are impressive - I had assumed they would be more in line with the Mac Mini.
My big gripe is: "Intel GMA 950 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory", so it's unlikely that Aperutre will run. Still it *does* support spanning.
No - I've never bought version one of any Mac product.
Actually, no, tell a lie. I bought version one of the iPod, which is still working fine and in use by my mother.
I've just noted that they tend to improve the lines pretty quickly over the first few releases in a revamped line, and then settle down to incremental change.
The problem is that I'm currently down to a single system at home (not through choice) - and running WinXP on a 600mhz processor is, umm... painful.
So, at this point, it's either break down and buy a new one (since this Toshiba could die at any time now, and I would cry) or buy an iBook or Powerbook 12", and then upgrade again in another year.
Which is an option, and I'm possibly going to do that, but I really like the black one... :-)

When I upgrade, it'll be a white one. :)

So, I'll sit on my hands for a wee while yet.
