There are no "best laptop" or "perfect laptop" in the world... even the best of the best have slight weakness.... maybe have if u build it urself...... since the price is insanely cheap with killing spec, so have to give and take dude.... for touchpad, im pretty sure a gamer will get external mouse to use, so far haven't seen any gamer using touchpad to play graphic intense game such as far cry 2, crysis and etc....

for keyboard, backlit is good but it still common for 15.4" laptop which don't have backlit LED. If u are a professional keyboard user, u should have problem identifying the key in dark. Maybe u will press wrongly for 1st key but u will figure it out the 2nd key after the wrongly press 1st key. So far i've no problem for keyboard, since desktop keyboard too have no backlit, except for those gamers keyboard.

About multimedia key, i saw there are alot of function in F1 - F9, but im not sure izzit multimedia shortcut or not. But volume/mute button and ofcoz power button is most important 1, the rest is up to user to judge whether they really will utilize the multimedia button or not.

Conclusion, they price is cheap enuf to stop ppl from complaining about the spec already. Im pretty sure u CANT find any better prices from other brand such as Dell, HP, Asus and so on....

yea exactly...like i said if u a real gamers u wont choose that....which do u choose...i mean logically..that laptop or an alianware or xps(not buying it..i mean CHOOSE)... it about passion and soul .....now that notebook dont hav any of those in gaming purpose......and alot of u guys said that the pad size is not important....if wanna play games, u use mouse....that true, pll use mouse these days..,.and i apologize bout that......but i still prefer if those guys made a bigger  pad than those tiny square box.  

and that y is not that great is gaming notebook ATM....hey maybe the version 2 coming up and it change 2 gaming purpose...idk..if that happen  im so happy cuz it prove me wrong....4 now i rather choose xps than that....

oww and im a second year MMU student...so no need 2 go back to school   to educate myself

and wat if people do care bout the bling factor...wat do u call it?? Unpure gamers?? ofcause pll still want the best from the outside 2 the inside..

toshiba's expensive. HP gives good quality for low price
