Yup, it sure is slim and solid. I like it a lot too, especially the design on the surface of the palm rest, very nice!
Its a smart thing to exclude the DVD drive cause I can't really remember the last time I used the DVD ROM haha, everything is transfered via pendrive and external HDD nowadays

Wah, Toshiba got sell external DVD drive? cool~
Ya, I understand how you feel, my Qosmio also very 99% glossy haha... I'm ok with it too because it will never look old, worth all the cleaning keke
Huh? No carrying case ar
Well, I've noticed that Toshiba really put less focus on their carrying bags nowadays (probably to cut cost). The previous 14' carrying case were very high quality 1, now its not... perhaps Toshiba thinks that everyone would buy a new backpack instead of using the carrying case? haha!
But the Qosmio's sling carrying case is still superb in terms of quality... too bad I won't be using it cause the 15.6' monster will break one of my shoulders haha
I'm not very pro in terms of cooler pads. But my previous readings have resulted in me buying the Cooler Master Notepal U2. There are 2 variants, 1 is for netbooks (8.9-12') like the T110 (I think is around RM 50+ if I remembered correctly), while the other is for 14'- 17' laptops (RM68).

Now, the pros and cons:
Pros:
1. The fans are adjustable, meaning you can choose to place it anywhere, especially under the heat sinks of your lappy for optimal cooling! Also, they are totally removable if you want to decrease weight
2. The whole surface is made up of small holes for better heat dissipation, material is aluminium.
3. Powerful fans
4. The fans are easily cleanable, noneed open this and that
5. Its not exactly expensive compared to other models
6. You can remove the fans and place your laptop "into" the cooler which will act as a protective cover
Cons:
1. Only 1 USB "extender"- dunno what its called, U can connect another USB to the cooler's USB port
2. Cannot be used on lap, needs flat surfaces
3. The rubber looks cheap haha. Or its just me
Perhaps there are better models out there but I think this would be good enough already since I've no heat problems gaming with my F60 while using this cooler pad

Still, its better to ask around and see whether there are better alternatives 1st, cheers!
