-lots of proprietary hardware - difficult and expensive to fix
That said - they're cheap, and you can get them fixed anywhere on the planet b/c of BestBuy and CompUSA . . .

I completely agree about Toshibas. Mine decided to turn itself off whenever it wanted, conveniently in the middle of my papers, right after the return policy was over. Tech support wouldn't do anything about it because they said it was up to the store, and the store said it was past the time I could trade it in. I ended up having to sweet talk a manager into taking it back because it wasn't usable. I ended up getting my HP that night, and I still love it three years later. I've had friends have similar problems with Toshibas, too. I'd definitely stay away.
