Malestrom

I've been looking for a fairly decent laptop for a while now and after being messed around by both Dell and Ebuyer, my hopes weren't high that we'd ever get one. Was looking for a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo as they seem to be well built but very slimline but cheapest online was Ebuyer at £653. After the way we've been messed about by them , I wasn't keen to risk it really. Popped into Staples today to look at some Toshiba's and low and behold, they had the Amilo Pro V2040 at over £100 off internet prices! We grabbed one of the last two and also blagged a free Logitech Mediaplay wireless mouse worth £25! Total steal. Here's the spec:

That v8010 is a nice spec but a bit too pricey for me What do you think of it? Very happy with mine, its a lovely machine. Not sure about the 3G card, nothing mentioned when I bought it? Don't need any more mem for now but thanks anyway
