Toshiba - P15-S479/P15-S470 MCE laptop - Opinions Please?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.mediacenter,comp.sys.laptops,comp.laptops (More info?)

I am thinking of buying either S479 or S470. Both are MCE laptops with 15"
screens ( I don't like the bulky 17" ) . Circuit City sells P15-S479 for
$1499 after rebates. I could not come across many places selling S470. Best
buy and J&R sells them for $1899. Do they come with a TV antenna part of
the package?.

Would appreciate hearing opinions and experiences on these machines.

S479 has 2x DVD writer, and S470 has 4X Dvd writer. I am not sure 2x DVD is
fast enough.
Also, apart from HP ZD7000 and Toshiba P25/P15 series, do we have any other
MCE laptops available in the market?. Still all of them are bulkier with 8
lbs and less batter life.
It would be nice though to have MCE laptops with Pentium M processors, which
none of the above ones do.

Thanks
Hari
