This laptop is a very light, portable machine, but tends to be a bit fragile as a result of this. The screen is extremely easy to damage, which is not really what you want out of a machine that is supposed to be portable by nature!
It is moderately fast if you are only doing basic word processing or surfing the internet, but as soon as you test it with challenging and complex functionality (such as database or graphical work) it starts to run extremely slowly. Given the demands modern software puts on laptops' processors, this can be a serious issue.
If you want a lightweight machine for occasional personal use then this is the machine for you, however if you require a laptop for any kind of serious processing, avoid this machine at all costs.
Advantages: Very Powerful and stylish Disadvantages: less expensive

Advantages: Value For money Disadvantages: No Bluetooth
i first bought a Toshiba around about 4 or 5 years ago, it was a toshibatecram3, it was a lovely laptop until i dropped it and broke it, i decided that i would replace it with another toshiba because of the previous good reliability i had got from the machine, i thing that attracted me to this laptop was firstly the fact it was an operating system upgrade for me and secondly the superior specifications, the only down side being that there is no integrated bluetooth and trusted security platform, i found that the offers that were available at the time of purchase were very reasonable and i feel i got great value for money, i also think that the designer of this laptop has taken very great care with the general look and feel of the laptop and have put a lot of thought into the hardware they have supplied and it holds pride of place ...
Advantages: Light, versatile, packed with features Disadvantages: It's still a laptop

To date, I've had no problems with my TecraM2. If servicing were necessary, it would be coordinated by my company's IT service. But if there are problems, the IT folks won't hesitate to tap the 3-year warranty for parts and labor. The battery has a 1-year warranty.
