One more positive mark for ext4. Toshiba laptops have the feature which automatically turns themselves off to protect the hardware if they suffer from overhead. I've been using 2 Toshiba satellites with Gentoo and countless power down incidents (especially when compiling chromium or kdelibs), I use ext4 for all partitions and I've never had a problem losing my data. About the performance comparison, check out [1]Phoronix for more details.
