Advantages: Cheap, mean little machine
Disadvantages: Heavy, non-linux compatable

...just the best buy and Dell are known to be a respectable no frills brand which helped. It's worth noting that my Dell came with a lot of bundled software, slowing it down slightly. It was a litttle trouble to format a new laptop and install the drivers again, but the machine has been satisfactory ever since! The ram seems to work well, the hardware (bluetooth, wireless, DVD, Webcam etc) are top quality and are well integrated to work with each other. ...
...fully linux compatable yet, since i tried booting it up with Kubuntu, and unsuccessfully tried to get all the hardware to work for 4 months. It was okay though, just double check if you plan to use linux (you're better off going for a linux-ready dell). Also, it's meant for small businesses which means it's a little heavy and not the best machine for you to lug it around everywhere (especially if you're a student!). Having said that, i don't have ... Read review

Advantages: Security, Speed, Easy to travel with.
Disadvantages: Once some settings are change theres no going back.

I own this Dell Latitude D830 it is a very fast, very reliable piece of equipment. It has dual core so its pretty good for gaming also with a very good video card. I wouldn't recommend it for the highest newest games but its very good to get you playing some of the recent games. It runs all sorts of O.S. so thats a plus. Compatible with most software. It can hold up to 4 gigs of ram. Easy lite weight, goof for the average business man and or student. ...
...items. Comes with some good dell utilities too. Such as blue tooth, secure storage, embassy security, and also my favorite a TRACKER. So if it is ever lost or stolen you can call tell and they can track it down. So all in all its a very good piece of equipment. I recommend it ! ... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

I have had this laptop for three years now and I have had real fun with it. It has been all around the UK, and it has worked perfectly every time. If you are a student or a graduate then I would advise this laptop, (strongly), because it is great for it's money. I got it for a £300 offer from Comet. It is light weight, with an excellent screen for watching Hollywood blockbuster. It has supreme sound and quick maneuverability, and super-fast speed. ...
...of memory and great for people on the go. I think this should be a top rated laptop, and I think it is a great bargain! It's keys are easy to use and it has a built in touch mouse! It also comes with Acrobat Reader! It has been fast, and quick to use from day 1. Any major retailer (including Ciao) will sell it to you. Great laptop, a must buy. A very sleek laptop. ...

Advantages: Very Portable, Good looks, Good battery life, ergonomical, great refurbished buy
Disadvantages: Multitasking not it's strong point

I write this review on this very laptop and i'm not going to beat about the bush its great. I bought this laptop on ebay a couple of months ago, i'm a student didn't have alot of money and wanted something to help me organise my essays and allowed me to work away from the desk (if your not a student you can still appreciate that sitting at a computer crouched on your desk is rather irksome after a while) and sitting in the garden in the sunshine ...
...i could fast forward life past exams so i was free....trust me. All i required it to do was type and use the internet and was pleasantly surprised when it could do much more. The slowly down in running applications, internet and every day applications isn't really noticeable though dual cored models outshine it when it comes to multitasking. It can handle some games including quake 3, unreal tournament, but don't expect miracles primarily this is ... Read review

...an external hard drive anyways. The display is very bright and clear, and the laptop is very stylish with its dark blue cover and bold Toshiba logo. I would seriously suggest this laptop to anyone in the market for a new computer but without a lot of money to spend. ... Read review
