1) I couldn't get those specs on a PC for cheaper (esp the 512gb SSD which was a big thing for me as I have a lot of files and carrying an external HD isn't all that practical). <snip>.
Glad you got something that works, for the price, but a bit surprised when you say carrying around an external HD isn't all that practical. I have a 512GB SSD on my Sony, but couldn't get that on a Toshiba (actually, I could have had one put in customised, but that would have added to the cost, when its mostly a back-up laptop).
I guess if you are dashing around on foot an external HD is less convenient, but I use a 1TB external HD (pack of cards sized) to supplement the 256GB on the Toshiba, with a USB3 connection, and it lives in the pocket on my laptop sleeve, along with a mouse. When in the office it hangs off the port replicator, with everything else.
But hey .. got an iPad, about to get an iPhone .. I might be joining you next laptop round!
