Oh trust me, Sony I touched once, and never again. :P

They've been like this since VHS. Only able to record on SONY VHS tapes. :<

Mmh, I've looked around and the cpu/ram/video I want for my laptop doesn't seem available for HP in any of the shops I usually get my stuff. :/ I've read some reviews about the Toshiba having a good airflow so I'm optimistic about it at the moment, will find out in a few days anyhow. ^^
