i noticed that it says there tends to be less of the nasty in feather pillows. an allergy specialist explained this to me, feather pillows have a more tightly woven casing than synthetic ones. often, the higher thread count casing can prevent the dust mites from getting inside, reducing the nasty.
i would have thought synthetic pillows would be better for allergies, but apparently not (unless you're allergic to the feathers i guess). dunno how high the thread count is on one of those pillows, but it must be about the same as some of those ultra high thread count sheets.
I've got a toshiba A35-s159 (i think), the battery life lasts for about 4 hrs i guess. I've never actually used it all in one go, and it has a power manager that came with it. The only things that i don't like about this laptop are that 1. the graphics card sucks, something by intel that isn't really worth mentioning and 2. no firewire ports, but since i don't have any firewire stuff right now, it doesn't bug me that much. It is kinda heavy though, so i guess that's 3 things. It's nice being able to use it on and off all day for school or whatever and not have to lug around the power adapter.

plus, higher thread counts feel sooo nice
