where should i buy?!


Hello, I want to buy a laptop computer home theater, but am not not sure what and where to buy. I thought of buying a Toshiba R15-S829 Satellite Tablet PC from powersellernyc.com because they help me chose my perfect work computer, but I want to hear what you guys think.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1777825,00.asp. Its not on the Dell site anymore cuz they change their product lines every couple of months. But you can definitely find something even better now.

i recommend an asus. some of their machines are amazing (and they dont look that bad either). most of the asus laptops are media based aswell.
