[ale] Big laptop advice

[Jeff Hubbs]

A few months ago, we got a Toshiba Qosmio with an 18.1" screen for my 
daughter; she likes playing Sims 2 and plans to edit video.  It's 
definitely a desktop replacement...no, wait - it's a DESK replacement.  
No idea how it would do under any Linux distribution but as big laptop 
hardware with a nice screen, it certainly answers the mail.
