I was just thinking, the number pad isn't that important. I just realized, the only I use numbers is for my phone number and I don't it that often.

I have a similar model, if you customize it you can add a NVidia video card, but the cost will jump.

That's a pretty good deal, if I could find something better it wouldn't be for more than $100 savings unless it was refurbished. For reference, that video card can be found on this list...

Way out of my range, but not too bad.

You know one thing I realize I can't get away from ... is how laptop manufactures are putting all the damn peripheral ports on the damn sides instead of the back. So annoying.

Except for VGA out for my external monitor, I love ports on the side much easier than trying to fish in a USB mouse or drive blind or having to close the screen.

Okay, so I'm seeing a pretty nice laptop, but says its refurbished. Does that mean the keyboard was previously used? Or just the hardware beneath it?

Doesn't seem too shabby.

No matter what the specs are, you're not getting much in the way of durability for $700.

Refurbished just means that some or all parts in the laptop are used, but have been either reconditioned to original factory specifications or already match original factory specifications. So basically it will look and function like a brand new laptop, although you MAY get a little bit less lifespan. But since you buy a new laptop every 1-2 years anyways, might not be a bad thing.

As for that specific laptop, the GPU isn't as beefy as the Toshiba, ~63% less powerful according to the benchmarks I listed earler.
