Toshiba Satellite A210

...ordinary laptop, this is a Toshiba Laptop that boasts excellent performance and all round brilliancy. Previous to this, I had used a very old Toshiba Satellite laptop which was big and bulky and from the mashed up 90's where fashion was like eating grass off a stick. We then had the technological scare of 2000 where it was said that something big would destroy all computers and bring back Elvis... But, we have since passed all that and look what ...
...are now. This Toshiba Satellite A210-19T almost sounds like its from The Terminator and it could well be. After receiving this parcel of the delivery lady, I ripped off the packaging, delved in and pulled out a big white box with 'Toshiba' on the side. All mine I thought. This seemed like a top of the range laptop at the time and still is I believe. Ok, so this Toshiba Satellite A210-19T comes with an ordinary 15.4 inch screen which is the better ...

Review of Toshiba Satellite A210

...reasonable price (100 pounds UNDER toshiba website RRP at the time i love loss leaders :D ) The machine is smooth, and fast, and with service pack 1 installed the webcam is now reliable!!! The integrated webcam is perfectly usable in most conditions however in low light the picture can look noisy (grainy). The integrated speakers are high quality and do not buzz even at very high volumes. The screen is very clear and clean, infact my friend who ...
...no major obstacles to this, toshiba provide drivers on their website for the major components, the webcam in fact doesn't even need a driver for XP weirdly enough. Gaming is quite good on this laptop, with the orange box and quake 4 performing superbly :) crysis runs at medium settings playably, however in heavier scenes you may wish to lower the settings a little, however crysis is a hugely demanding game and as laptops aren't really designed for ...

Review of Toshiba Satellite A210

I own several Toshiba Laptops and its the worst of the bunch. I find it gets too hot compared to the other models I have. The Vista that come with it I would have rather not had as I find the machine struggles with it due to its limitations. the 2gb of memory isnt enough to deal with Vista aswell as the fact the processor isnt used properly because its the wrong version (32bit instead of 64bit). It is not a gaming machine but find it handles photography ...
...on use as an office machine. The screen is good quality aswell as the general build quality. The built in SD Card slot is handy although find it gets too hot. It actually melted the glue inside one of my cards. Handy machine and ok for budget users but wouldnt buy if you want to play games. ...

Review of Toshiba Satellite A210

This laptop features a dual AMD Turion 64 1.9ghz processor and 2gb of Ram which was one of the biggest draws to this product for me. There is a 160gb hard drive. It also has an ample ATI Radeon graphics cards which seems to be able to handle photos and videos great! I have attempted to run a '3D intensive' game however and unfortunately it did not play as well as I would expect from a desktop. The case is a nice shiny black colour and looks really ...
...has a great resolution. When plugged in, the screen becomes slightly brighter (for powersaving I guess). The laptop comes with built in wireless and wired network adaptors so can quickly and easily be added to an existing network. I have found surfing times to be amazingly quick, even large searches in ebay appear almost instantly. The keys/keyboard do actually seem a little 'cheap' but the overall feel is more than acceptable. There are 4 USB ports ...

Review of Toshiba Satellite A210

Very nice laptop. Sleek styling and pleasing curves. The screen is crisp and attractive. Runs excellently, as expected, and proves to be very fast. All in all, it is a pleasant computer to deal with. My only gripe is the finger print scanner. It is definitely functional, but sometimes it is more practical to simply enter in a password. I'd say the scanner works 4/5 times when I use it. ...

Review of Toshiba Satellite A210

i recieved this computer as a replacement product for a hewlett packard which was stolen. Having looked around at all the possibilities this computer seemed to suit my needs best. i had a quick play with it in the shop to see if the keyboaad suited , which it did. However when at home siiting on the sofa with it it quickly becomes uncomfortable because of the sharp edge at ther bottom of the keyborad. The light colour keys look good but quickly become ...
