This could be the flagship notebook offer by Toshiba. More than enough for day to day usage and the screen is large enough. All stuff are grade A except the touchpad. It is so hard to scroll along and lucky enough that I found a matt textured touchpad skin from http://wristskin.com and instantly fix the the problem. Not just easy to scroll yet protective from polished defect.
