Toshiba listening to its customers: Now offering a laptop with Vista or XP

Sure, Microsoft offers the possibility of downgrading from Vista to XP for free (if you’ve purchased Vista Business or above), if Vista isn’t right for you, but who wants to go through the hassle of calling up Microsoft and asking for a new activation key for XP and go hunting for drivers? Well, Toshiba is now including recovery disks with Vista AND XP in their Dynabook Satellite T31 line.

The specs on the T31 don’t look bad either, featuring a:

• 2GHz Core 2 Duo T7250 or 1.86GHz Celeron 540 processor
• 15-inch WXGA (1,280 x 800) display
• 512MB RAM
• 80GB hard drive
• 4 USB 2.0 ports, Firewire, PCMCIA, built-in card reader, VGA and S-Video outputs

Not bad for a laptop that will cost you between $1,573 on the low end and $1856 for the people with deeper pockets.
