Here are a few problems, though: 1. If you get a Laser, get the new EX/2. For the price difference, I think it's worth it. 2. Remember that Laser does NOT corrently have an upgrade plan. If they did, I'd be using an EX/2 instead of an EX. 3. Buy the computer MAIL ORDER if you want decent prices. The prices sometimes differ by $100 between mail order and retail.... 4. Make sure you get the most recent ROM installed in the computer. I believe the most recent one is 5.0 or 6.0 (depending on model), but things may have changed. That's about it. If you get the EX/2, I'd recommend getting the one with a 3.5" drive installed. It's cheaper to get that one and add a 5.25" drive than the other way around....
