Wah, planning to get the Lumix LX5?
Yeah, laptops nowadays are quite cheap and yet powerful
Don't really have any reviews for the V470 yet at the moment... Its better for analysis in a sense that it comes with a Sandy Bridge quad core processor (i7-2630QM: featuring 4 cores and 8 threads); The ones in Toshiba is either Sandy Bridge i3 or i5 (2 core 4 threads)

Oh ya, Lenovo's keyboard is way better than that of Toshiba, especially in terms of ergonomics and comfort...
Well, based on my experiences, getting a Toshiba or Fujitsu won't guarantee your laptop won't have problems. My gf bought a RM3.5k Toshiba premium series Satellite M500 which is faulty (unbelievable huh)... Tosh and Fujitsu may have stricter QCs, but sometimes it still depends on luck...
The best is to make sure you have your laptop covered with warranty for 3 years so that you can at least use it for 3 years. Whether it lasts as long as 5 years depends on how good you take care of your laptop
Yeah, working in IPS
