I have been contemplating on upgrading to a newer laptop. For the price and not to mention the battery life I am seriously considering on the Toshiba Satellite (A505-S69803). I need to expose myself to Windows 7 on a regular basis and there is no better way then on a computer that has it installed. I know I could simply upgrade to Windows 7 from my current Vista platform, but I think it is time to move on. Which is what I am doing so I put my old laptop which I really never used on craigslist. Hopefully I'll get some more great leads. 

Anyhow the battery life is said to last nearly 7-9 hours. Which is remarkable. Perfect for me when working while I am in flight. I'll need to upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium x64 to at least a 64 bit edition of Professional or perhaps Ultimate which I really doubt I need. Professional is about right where I need to be, then again Windows 7 Home Premium, Home Basic and Home Starter can run IIS 7.5. Per Microsoft: http://bit.ly/5fsL6H. So theoretically I can get by with Home Premium. We will see. It's not like I am going to have it join a domain anytime soon. Either way I purchased it today and so far I am impressed.
