Toshiba have really expanded their Laptop/ notebook range over the last decade. The Equium series represents an affordable option for those wanting a standard laptop without advanced hardware. The Equium range operates moderately with Vista- although slow down can often be a problem. Even with a couple of Gig of Ram and the dual core processor it can often have short moments of fatigue. Initially problems such as these aren't noticable, but after a year or so- when you have a number applications running in the background- then you realise what a difference higher power machines make. The on-board sound card is certainly nothing to get excited about. If you are into your music then don't expect to blast it out.
I would pitch this laptop to students or general application/internet users but not gamers. The on-board graphics have limited pixel shaders which means it won't run the latest games. In fact, by running a compatability check- the laptop passes in every test- except pixel shading graphics. It seems to make this affordable the obvious cuts were made. Overall, a good entry level laptop that will suit most peoples needs.
Advantages: Useful Disadvantages: There are plenty of better models

Advantages: Good value for money, 2 GB memory Disadvantages: Graphics card
Well Im using this laptop for 6 months now and I am still satisfies with my purchase. The 15"4 is good enough for me to watch movies although a 17" would be perfect. I think its great that it has a 2 GB memory so I can run Windows Vista as well as XP. The processor is is also enough for normal use with Intels dual core 1.73 GHz. Although the disk is not huge most users are going to be happy with 200 GB. The graphics are by Intel GMA X3100, which ...

GMA X3100, which are solid, but nothing more, so all you heavy gamers might not choose, because of it. So dont expect this machine to be running Call of Duty 4 or similar games.But you definetly get a great design, with elegant lines and a combinationof silver an black.
Anyways great value for what you get.

Advantages: Good features, small Disadvantages: battery life, build quality
This has been my trusted little laptop for over 2 years now. I have to say i am very pleased with it, this being my first laptop as i have had desktops in the past. The laptop had great features on the date on the time of realease. I paid £450 for mine in currys. The L10 has built in Wi Fi, 40GB HD( which is 2 small), 512 ram and 15" screen. i have upgraded the ram to 1 gb and has made a big difference. There are a few downsides:
1. Build quality ...
