Laptops > AMD Turion 64 X2 Laptops

Advantages: Value for money and fantastic speakers
Disadvantages: Integrated graphics card and short battery life

...- a pity that large Toshiba logo isn't a bit more subtle, maybe black would have been better on grey. The stripes are also on the inside - a bit distracting perhaps? Still, it does give an impression of being a fairly robust laptop casewise. Another plus is the firm keyboard and large mouse buttons. Inside: This is a reasonably fast laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 and 2GB of memory) and with a 200GB hard drive provides plenty of storage space. ...
...brightness and colour for DVDs and the speakers (Harman Kardon) are particularly impressive. It also comes with Vista HotStart for playing music and touch-sensitive hotkeys to control CDs and DVDs. Downside: The battery life is a bit on the low side only lasting around a couple of hours or so. It has an integrated graphics card which limits 3D gaming performance. The keys are shiny - not sure about this one!! ... Read review

Advantages: Well-presented, feature-packed laptop
Disadvantages: A touch slow for modern gaming

The Acer Travelmate series come generally very well-equipped to be competent laptop computers for the modern age, and the 7520 is no exception. Using the same Turion 64x2 that is quite standard in its Travelmate range, the 7520 is quick to boot; the 2GB of RAM is quite sufficient for multimedia applications such as watching DVDs - well provided for by a very able DVD drive and a very nicely presented, clear screen. As well as this, the product is ...
...for long periods, with a great touchpad. However, the screen is quite easily scratched and the battery life is really rather poor - typically you can expect approximately 80 mins on 'high performance', or longer on the more frugal but less useful 'balanced' and 'power saver' options. A great value laptop, and a very good buy ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: incredibly slow!

I have had this laptop for just about a year now and am already considering changing. I find it is incredibly slow and it constantly acts as if it has a virus although i have checked and it says it hasnt! programs only work when they want to work. The main issue here is it is constantly trying to update itself which is always slowing it down although there is 1gb of ram I am often warned there is not enough memory to perfrom certain tasks or open ...

Advantages: HDMI Port, Quite, Cheap for 17" Laptop
Disadvantages: 2GB RAM, and HD-DVD Drive

...HD-DVD drive built in because Toshiba was a company responsible for creating these disks, but they did not take off and a Blu-Ray drive would have been a better option. But it still works in all the normal ways that a DVD-ROM driver would and plays all DVDs and CDs. There is a dual core processor located inside which helps to run the Vista operating system, but at times it is very slow. This is generally the case when there are multiple windows open. ...
...and quickly e.g. opening and using Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. The overall design of the laptop I would say is very good. With the addition of Harman/Lardon speakers it means that it has excellent sound quality when playing music, videos, etc. It is also helped with neatly placed media controls at the top of the laptop. It is a very good laptop for the price, but the only thing that is letting it down is the amount of RAM, but this is upgradable, ... Read review
