All in all I like the Toshiba Satellite. I find the wireless speed pretty good compared to the girlfriend's compaq. I, like most of you (judging from this thread) still prefer my desktop and always will. The sound is not great but hey it's a laptop. As far as the facial recognition..I have not been brave enough to try it out yet. Don't wanna be locked out cause i forgot to shave or some nonsense like that.
lol
If anyone has used this feature on the Toshiba Satellite, please let us know how it goes for you.
