Advantages: A Great Laptop Disadvantages: Hard disk problems
...The first thing noticable about the laptop is how small it is, and how nice its appearance is.
however theres more than just looks to the omnibook 500.
although designed for businessmen and the like, the ob500 is ideal for my needs as a computer science student. it runs Windows XP and all the software i need to use, without trouble and easily fast enough.
it is not much of a games machine, and the nipple style mouse makes unreal tournament a difficult task, but if thats not what you're looking for then its not a problem at all.
combined with the multimedia docking station, the ob500 gains cd-rom / speakers / floppy disk capabilities as well as alternative input and more i/o ports on the back.
the one problem i have had - and its quite a big problem - was that within a few weeks of owning tthe laptop the hard disk failed...

Advantages: Low price- or should be by now. Disadvantages: Not state of the art, but why should it be?
...The Omnibook XE2 is now an end of line model and the remaining ones can be found at favourable prices. Not being state of the art this laptop will suit people who need a mobile extension to a home PC at a reasonable cost. Power users will benefit from higher specification, higher priced machinery.

~~~PRICE~~~
My parents brought this second hand off of E-Bay at £145 plus £18 postage but the only problem was it didn’t come with an external drive! My parents went searching everywhere for a CD or DVD drives but had no success so they brought one from Compaq. A MEU with a CD drive was £95 but luckily for me they sent the DVD one instead!! He he he!
When the MEU is attached to the laptop it doubles the thickness to just under 2 inches.

I got this laptop as a presant from my dad. It is run on microsoft Vista which in my eyes isn't the best software but it does what it's supposed to do. With wireless i could connect to the bt home hub. Its the best presant i have recived yet!

This really is what it says it is - Toshiba, the mark of quality and reliability, and Portege, meaning it is portable. The Toshiba Portege is an excellent laptop.

After knocking a full cup of tea over my laptop (and destryoing the insides completely) I claimed on my insurance and was sent an Acer Aspire 5315. It costs around £300 to buy in the shops, placing it at the bottom end of the price range for laptops at... more
