Yup toshiba, ive had mine for years and have dropped, hit, punched and thrown as well as had coffee and beer all over it. This machine keeps on working and have no idea how it can withstand the punishment I have given it. Worth the money, and you can pick a good one for the price your after. Also a great games machine.

Good luck finding the parts to upgrade stuff like graphics cards. If you go whacking in better units you will cause other problems, like over heating and random shutdowns due to extra power consumption, be careful.

Second hand apple macbook lol....
can't go wrong except for games playing.

If you really want to upgrade for games etc, its much better to go for a decent tower/desktop, this way you can upgrade cooling etc etc and graphics card/memory as you go.

See Southwell's comments.
