Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop
George Wright writes "Toshiba have announced a monster of a laptop with their Satellite P25. Seems they've decided to copy Apple's idea of fitting a 17" LCD on a laptop, but have ended making a true aircraft carrier in doing so. Notable "features" are the 2.8GHz P4, the 802.11a/b and the 10lb weight (!!!). Still a relatively low resolution though :("
I understand a thing or two about the English language. I'm from America, so my English is going to be slightly different from someone speaking it across the pond.
," we see that Toshiba is now plural.
The text of the headline reads, "Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop." In this, "Toshiba" is assumed to be singular thanks to the verb usage of "Introduces."
In the first sentence of the article text, "Toshiba have announced...
I understand that usage may be different from one country to another, but I'd really like to know. If you learned the King's English as opposed to American English, please reply and tell me which one is actually correct for you. I'm dying to know.

"Then again, the majority of home pc's are still slow pentium 1/2 or celerons, as that's all most mums and dads need."
Way to show yourself up as a know-it-all teener.
That was classic intercourse!
I'm already carrying around 17" in my pants.
"Also ... Toshiba is lazy and isn't really trying hard... as all PC makers are... lazy and complacent... nothing new happens in the x86 world... a PC is a PC is a PC... there is nothing to distinguish one box from another"
Isn't this sort of comment a flamebait or troll? Why has this comment been modded up? The 64-bit Athlon was out before the G5, and even though it's advertised as a workstation chip, a system with this chip costs the same as the lowest price G5 system, the supposed 1st 64-bit pc. The truth of the matter is that competition in the PC market has allowed for low priced pcs that outperform machines costing twice as much from Apple. And people wonder why Apple's market share is a 2% and will be surpassed by Linux soon. As for "incredibly energy efficient", that is a spin on lower performance, since clock rate is directly proportional to performance and power.
