8 pounds is actually a lot, and a 17" notebook is pretty bulky just in dimensions. a widescreen exaggerates that bulkiness too. carrying it in a messenger bag or any sort of bag on one shoulder won’t be very comfortable. however, if you won’t be walking for more than a couple minutes and won’t be carrying it around too much, the above issues won’t matter.

as for 1 GB vs 2, i personally don’t know how much resources Vista sucks up, but i would go for two. actually, i would just install XP regardless of which of those two i bought, but i don’t know if you’d want to do that.

Toshibas in general are seen as one of the better notebook brands, along with Sony and HP (and some others, of course).
