Nothing wrong with Toshiba. I have a:
Toshiba L505
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
AMD Turion II Dual-Core Mobile M500 2.20 GHz
4.0 GB Ram
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200
15.6" HD TruBrite display with a 16:9 aspect ratio
300 GB HDD
Built in web cam.

Only have a couple complaints about mine really. Not enough USB ports, had to buy a hub and the touch pad is a little to sensitive. Can be typing and it jumps around on me.

Other then that, it does everything I need it to.

My current desktop is an iMac with a 27" monitor and Intel I7 processor:

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac11,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s

Display:

ATI Radeon HD 4850:

Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 4850
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Resolution: 2560 x 1440
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color

This model includes a one gig hard drive.

What's missing is resolution independence on the screen. Also, the built-in DVD drive on these macs is a bit pokey, but it works fine.

My other computer is a macbook pro, about two years old.

I run VMware Fusion on the macs on those rare occasions when I need to run a Windoze program. There are only a couple of Windoze programs I still use from time to time. The macs run them fine.

Mines aging

Q6600 @ 3.0GHz w/ TRUE 120
4GB Patriot DDR2 @ 835 MHz

ATI Radeon 5870
250GB WD HDD
Windows 7 Pro x64
Asus 25.5" 1200p monitor

And my Asus 1000HE Netbook in dormancy since school is out.

It's working out well.

It certainly helps having the OS on there for general responsiveness, but I do a lot of photo work in Adobe Lightroom and having the catalogue db file also located on the SSD makes a huge difference when working with multiple 8MP RAW images.

Both computers are Dell Inspirons. One is a desktop and it runs vista premium, has a 250 gig hard drive with 2 gig ddr ram and the rest I can't tell you. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1564 with I5 processor, 430 M, 4 gb of ddr3 ram and the rest I can't tell you. It's middle of the road I guess. Works great for what I do. Oh and its running windows 7 premium (both are 64 bit)
