I loved my old Toshiba Tecra 780-DVD back in the day. I bought it used as laptop prices were falling, and got a lot of kit with it. A web cam (unheard of for its generation), DVD drive and hardware decoding (also very baller), and a docking station where I could chunk in PCI and ISA cards and full size desktop drives (I put in a DVD burner and a large desktop HDD - I forget the size, but probably tens of gigabytes).
I told my wife that in today's dollars, the whole kit would have cost about $11k. It's hard to sink that kind of money into a laptop with OEM accessories today even if you tried hard.
