I just bought a Toshiba Satellite and am very happy with it. It’s a large laptop, marketed as a “desktop replacement”—large screen, etc. It’s a power hog, too, but I’m not using it for mobile use. A little on the pricey side, but not unreasonable for the features.
Is it the Toshiba Qosmio? My wife and her father picked up the high-end Qosmios as desktop replacements and they're incredible machines. Very heavy, but very powerful and full of multimedia bells and whistles.
