RE: Laptop for personal use?

In the past, Toshibas got high ratings for durability. And one could always use an external DVD drive on a USB.

It's at home, so I can't be certain, but I think it was the Toshiba Portege. And it's an i3, not an i5, with 128GB solid state drive, not 160GB.
The only downside so far is the lack of a dvd drive, but it more than serves her purposes and is fast, silent, cool (temperature-wise), and extraordinarily light. I believe the 2.5lb stated weight includes the power brick.

I'm waiting for my HP desktop replacement (which is only fast) to fail so I can buy one just like hers.
