Wow what a sight, one of the best looking laptops in my opinion. Not too heavy, nice and compact, lovely big bright 14.1" screen. The 1.1 celron processor is adequate and the 256mb ram is enough... more

    5 Stars The ultimate in portable PC technology 26/10/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice, sturdy unit. Feels like you could play table tennis with it.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages multimedia buttons are stupidly placed and you find yourself accidentally opening Windows Mediaplayer all too often.

    There is a saying amongst laptop buyers. Buy the absolute best you can afford. These things are very expensive compared to their bulky desktop counterparts, so you have to be sure that you're going to get a good few years of use out of it before it becomes obsolete. When choosing my laptop, I had looked at many systems including PC World's own-brand "Advent" systems. I avoided these, and fortunately for me, that was a good move - my brother bought an Advent laptop system not long after I got my Toshiba, only to find that the air-vent (out of which comes all the hot air expelled from the CPU) ... more

    5 Stars The LOADED overheater 03/06/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of features for under £1300

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overheats easily

    It is a great laptop with a great build BUT one major flaw. It has all the HOT hardware at affordable pricing such as CD-RW/DVD player, 14.1" screen, P3 Processor and Windows XP and this hardware can sometimes literally become too hot. The fan inside the laptop that cools down the processor inside is hardly adequate for this laptop as my laptop regularly switches off if I try to run too many applications on my laptop at once. It is even recently started switching off when I view 'Flash' media on internet sites which is rather disappointing. You see, the fan cools down the processor so it ... more

    5 Stars lap top or lap not 21/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages small, easy to use,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages gets quite hot during use

    I recently purchased one of theese laptops as a replacement for my pc i needed somything which was up to date and would run with all my existing software and hardware. I find this laptop to be easy to use and very robust as i have children who have already stood on it. the scrren is large and very clear but does not hurt your eyes like some do. it has 2 built in expansion ports and can be plugged into a standard mouse keyboard and monitor to make it a mobile hard drive. i have noticed while using it that it gets quite hot and the fan can be quite annoying this is a bit of a pain as i have it ... more

    5 Stars Brilliant. 25/01/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Value, Sleek, Sexy, Well produced and researched. Suits everyones needs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No Bluetooth, Quick access buttons may be nudged (hasnt happened to me yet)

    I was given this product to me as a christmas present, in practice mainly for my school work, and in the following year - university work. I initially was amazed at the quality of the package, the laptop is very robust, and is documented extremely well. I started the machine up, and its amazingly quiet, its keys are very light, and the touch-sensitive pad is unique, its so responsive up to all other laptops. The style of it is very modern, and its quick access buttons on the front are extremely useful - enabling quick loading of video cd's, or music cd's, without the need for the screen. Its ... more

    2 Stars Good when it works. Bad when it doesn't! 07/07/2003
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Reasonably priced, fast, user friendly, sturdy.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overheating, poor after sales support, a bit noisy.

    I've had the 1800 model since the beginning of last year. it's generally very fast (installed with a 1.2gig Pentium processor). For the first few months it ran smoothly. no problems and a lot faster than my desktop. dvd's and games played well and there never any problems with streaming even at the higher visual resolutions. problems began to arise as i started using it more frequently and for longer hours. Firstly, the laptop had the tendency to switch off abruptly without warning (except for a quick beep a second before the unit switches off) due to overheating. this often left me with large ... more
