I hear ye but that’s pretty-much how the phone conversation went for the most part, bro.

Then @ the store after talking about graphics/music production we were introduced to…

Two options on the yellow brick frond we were boding on, got better info from floor sales;

said maybe the phone-up was management and not actually on the up&up about inventory.

Now looking at a Toshiba M305 chassis & an Asus X83Vb-X2, both…T6400 4G and 64-bit

Only one wit dedicated 1G graphics chip but the other is so well nourished that it’s equivalent.

So...pretty much the laptop you recommended?  Funny how the natural flow of our own due diligence

led us to be directed towards a version of the Toshiba we were most curious about and the sis of the

Asus you tossed into the mix.  Thanks for taking the time to reply to this thread, I'm glad I asked.
