Sure, a lot of the specs speaks to hype and gimmicks, but the dual/250 GB-Hard drives, better than average graphic cards, not to mention the 18.4" screen, coupled with the quad-core-duo processor, makes this [to me] worth the money. It's quiet, and didn't feel a-lot of heat coming from it whatsoever. Yeah, who needs a FM-radio in a Laptop, but that's not enough to call this PC, junk. I do play games at times, but I'm not one of those, over-the-top-waste-my-time-all-day, game-playing type. However, when it came to work, this monster smokes, and to tell you the truth, that's why I bought. It handled multiple programs, side-by-side without a problem. It works just fine for me.....

The graphics are awesome, the hard drive space is huge, it's nice and fast, and it doesn't get super hot like my acer. On the downside the keyboard is high gloss so it shows fingerprints instantly, it's large and heavy (10.8 lbs) for a "portable" laptop. For my needs it was a perfect fit and I'm very satisfied! The gesture control... in my book it's just a gimmick like the built in FM radio (really, who needs it?). I was also looking at a Dell Studio 17 inch but this was the better choice. Check out my video review if you wish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvdGtkmo7oE Good Luck! This is one awesome laptop!

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but the G55- 802 is no longer available on, Toshiba's website. I hope that's no indication of an idea gone wrong.
