It's Sylviatob--she's looking for one for her grandson. Though Brammy's DS's machine sounds like a winner!
I have to admit, there are two things I miss with my laptop, a numeric keypad and a taller screen. Scroll up, scroll down, scroll up, scroll down, esp on these forums.

Hi Sylviatob...
When it comes to consumer vs business class in computers (my own experience with Dell, Apple, IBM/Lenovo, HP and Gateway), the differences are more in the quality control than in specifications.
In business class machines, there are tiered levels of components (we're talking chipset here) where down to tier 3, components will only come from particular industrial countries (US, Japan, etc). Consumer machines, only tier 1 or tier 2, after that, the component contract goes to the lowest bidder. Not only that, it could be a different company/country each supply order.
So in a business, where it's important that components be the same all around for IT maintenance and trouble-shooting, component QA is critical. For home consumer use, less so. There are other differences, but this is the biggest item that tends to stick with me.
In my prior position at work, I used to purchase roughly 100 computers a year.
I beg to differ now iwill agree with the Gateway take but HP is one comp I would not own for my biz. For portable processing and durability you can;t beat Toshiba. As an oncall programmer and now owner of my own biz I have dropped more computers ad got kinda loyal to Toshiba after dropping it down a flight of cement stairs and it kept functioning.Now keep in mind that I am talking about tier 1 laptops...can't stand junk and wont buy it. But at the same time won;'t spend 2k on a kids comp but will buy a purchase protection plan with accident protection. this comp would actually be a lot more expensive with the specs.
