[Skunkworks] Toshiba L305 performance?

Hi guyz, am plannin to acquire one of these Toshiba Lxxx series esp. L305 for personal use but with a bit of heavy high end applic. development n simulated server environment. I need ua input on Toshiba performance as concerns the above. Also a little bit on battery life n end user comfortability. If u think i need to pick a diff brand, direct me to a good dealer esp one onlist. Thanks n God bless u all. KR, Nyarotho. -- People should know when they are conquered.
