Summary: Nice
Review: I purchased this laptop this past weekend, great machine for the price, there is a ... rebate available from Toshiba. A bit on the heavy side but it packs in a lot for the price.

Summary: "Used" to like Toshiba products
Review: I truly used to like Toshiba products. Now, I do not see myself buying any of their products again. This machine has been reliable for the last two years but the hard drive broke today. When I called customer/ technical support all that they told me is that it is out of warranty and that I can send it to them and have it repaired at full price. I know people have complained that this model Toshiba has broken down on them after only a few months of use but I still find it unacceptable that the hard drive world brake down and fail after only two years. My other laptop from Compaq lasted over 6 years. It is out dated obviously but it still works. In short, I do not recommend this laptop because it is way too heavy, gets too hot, and has a short battery life. Oh, and Toshiba customer support is the worst that I have ever experienced. They will not be ashamed to hang up on you if you are not satisfied with their "reading from a script" answers to you problems.

Summary: Very Slow
Review: It is a very nice portable, the screen is quite large so your eyes are going to be quite comfortable, BUT it is very slow. It isn't worth the money that you save. For most applications 1.2 GHZ is nothing and the processor gets very hot and noisy. The hard drive gets very noisy as well. I've had mine for 5 months now and I really need to replace it. In short, I don't really recommend it.

Summary: Its good but....
Review: Modem seems to be not having voice facility (I tried with Supervoice and supervoice reported this modem does not support voice)There is no built in mic facility - so we need to carry a external mic with us all the time when we use internet telephony.

Review: This computer combines speed and performance. Weight and portability aren't the greatest but none the less, it's quite a bargain.

Summary: Awesome for price!!
Review: This computer is perfect for anyone who needs a laptop for office applications and the internet. It's pretty great for photoshop, just be careful that the file isn't poster size. Besides that, it's a great item for a great price. Burning CD's is a snap!
Thanks Toshiba!

Summary: Powerful and inexpensive
Review: This is a very powerful little laptop for not a lot of money. It is great for business or educational use where you want a good balance of features, CPU horsepower, battery life, and cost. Most home users would find it to be a great desktop replacement. Frankly, this is a very powerful little computer for not a lot of cash. Don't let the Celeron badge fool you - this is the best CPU value on the market. Based on the final version of the PIII core known as "Tualatin", it is a lot faster than older "Coppermine" Celerons (for techies: larger L2 cache: was 128k now 256k; and faster FSB: was 100MHz now 133MHz) and uses less battery life. With a CPU like this you can run any business application, CAD software, or graphics software with no trouble. It (combined with the Trident graphics chipset) will run most games (though not the latest, high end 3-d games) and play back you DVD movies flawlessly. By not putting the "latest and fastest" in this laptop Toshiba can use tried and true components that will last, keep the cost down, and deliver a lot of computing horse power. And the battery life is in the good to excellent range (around 3 hours of continual moderate use). Oh and the AC adapter is small, light and easy to carry. Not as small as some but definitely not a big clunker. The only person I would not recommend this notebook to is someone who wants a mobile gaming platform or a ultra-thin computer. For that you need to look farther up the price ladder.

Summary: Be warned in advance !
Review: This is another poor model from Toshiba made for first time buyers. Let me give 12 reasons to buy it,
1. You want a laptop.
2. You don't have much money to spend.
3. You don't care about its 45 mins battery life.
4. You don't want or don't care for performance.
5. You have never heard of USB 2.0 or Firewire or Bluetooth.
6. You don't care for the noise or heat it will generate.
7. You don't care about system instability and overheating problems.
8. You don't care for graphics performance.
9. You don't want to play any PC games.
10. You don't care about its 8 pound weight or big size.
11. You don't care about irritating and nosiy Hard Disk.
12. You are a student and will install Linux on it anyways ! Let me give you 12 reasons NOT to buy it,
1. Uses a desktop Celeron processor (very cheap), not Mobile Celeron or Mobile Pentium. This means laptop will get very hot, its fan will be very noisy, will use too much power and have much lower performance.
2. No USB 2.0, firewire or wirless access. What use is 1.5 GHz processor if you can't connect it to any other device at any reasonably fast speed ? Will you wait for an hour to burn a CD on a external CD-RW connected to an old USB 1.1 port on this ?
3. It bigger and bulkier than previous models. Again this is partly because of a desktop Celeron being used in this. Desktop CPU means more space for cooling it down etc.
4. Uses a slower memory speed, way below today's standard. Again this notebook won't have any fast performance with mp3 or multimedia stuff because of this. You will even have trouble finding the memory at this low speed when upgrading !
5. The keyboard isn't same a desktop, so keys are placed at different positions, some missing. But this might a case with most laptops though.
6. The touchpad isn't very great. You will end up buying a USB mouse.
7. Doesn't have older serial port, PS2 ports etc. Nor does it have any thing like Bluetooth or Firewire or USB 2. Yes you can buy a PCMCIA card for say wireless access or USB 2 or Bluetooth. But there's only on PCMCIA slot in it !
8. Because desktop Celeron runs so hot, you won't be able to use it a "lap"-top to avoid burning your skin. Beleive it gets very very hot !
9. The hard disk is much slower rpm and smaller in size. And it makes just too much noise.
10. Toshiba doesn't even include a Windows XP CD. All it has is a recovery CD to reformat the whole disk and re-install everything all over again & deleting all your data. Its horrible SW bundle, nothing worth a penny in it. Norton is only trial offer. Not even XP is included properly.
11. The new battery lasts around 45 mins on full charge. Who knows how much will it last for when it becomes old. Again cheap desktop Celeron has a major part to play in this.
12. Finally Toshiba doesn't make or design this laptop. Its designed/made by a cheap contractor in Taiwan and then sold as Toshiba brand. This is the truth, you can do some google search to verify this ! If you don't have lots of cash or urgent need for mobility you might wanna reconsider having the good old PC for now. Don't be mislead by Intel 1.2GHz label on it. There are reasons why Toshiba can sell it for so cheap and hopefully you enough not to regret later on.

Summary: terrible tech support
Review: Toshiba may make good products, but their support is the worst i have ever come across. They have lost my laptop for over a month now and do not care a lick about it. They're tech support team is in Turkey and they dont care a thing about anybody. They kept hanging up on me and refused to help me saying it will take some time. When i called back- no one knew anything and had zero updates. DO NOT BUY TOSHIBA PRODUCTS! Get a Gateway or Dell instead...two companies that actually care about their customers.
