Advantages: Good in its time
Disadvantages: Overtaken by newer, better models

...say that I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro P100-188 (I just looked at the bottom of my laptop hehe). It's been in my life for a good 3-4 years and I love it to bits. It's my faithful old laptop but I do regret that I may have to replace it soon, due to it just getting old, wear and tear and all that jazz. Well, here's my view on my lovely aged laptop. I got old copper (my nickname for it because of its copper orange lid) for my birthday and I found ...
...lot more expensive. It's a Toshiba so naturally it's very good quality and I haven't had one problem with this laptop. It runs on Windows XP which is a great OS but it has a little sticker on that says it's able to run with Windows Vista too. It's overall a pretty fast laptop and runs with an Intel Centrino Dual core processor. I have to say that the ultimate test is that I have had this laptop for years but I can still run the Sims 2 on it. I have ... Read review

Advantages: Features, size and design
Disadvantages: Not good enough for gaming

...me. As a fan of HP products, I chose from the DV6500 range available at the time. This laptop had every spec I required for both using as a station for university assignments, as well as home use for music, film and gaming. Firstly, the design is eye-catching. I was bored of looking at the generic black or grey and thought the white anti-scratch surface was ideal. The laptop is also quite light and the absense of a locking clip meant there was less ...
...more than my money's worth! HP also frequently offer discounts so it's always worth checking to see what deals are to be had. As well as the remote control that is stored away when not in use, another of my favourite features is the fingerprint reader. When you use the internet on a frequent basis, remembering usernames and passwords can be frustrating. For anyone who hops from website to website, I'd highly recommend this feature. Thankfully I ...

Advantages: Good looks, most basic equipment you would need, able to handle most programs
Disadvantages: Not suitable for games, some aspects feel cheap

...However, I will warn that Toshiba have placed quite a lot of branding on the software. The Toshiba wallpaper is easy to get rid of, but there are numerous 'memory eating' programs that Toshiba claim to help your laptop - they do nothing worthwhile. Certainly nothing that Windows can't do better. Separate programs for controlling the touch pad aren't required, and uninstalling all of this non-essential software frees up storage space and memory. ...
...ethernet port for my internet, and have had no issues with either. The ethernet is very straight forward plug and play, and connects to your ISP in seconds. The display is extremely crisp and sharp, and the brightness can be changed to suite your needs (and energy consumption). On the subject of energy consumption, this laptop isn't too bad compared to some I have used. I can run my laptop in high performance mode using wireless LAN for internet, ... Read review

Advantages: Speed, comfortabe, cheap.
Disadvantages: No webcam built-in.

The Toshiba brand has always been noted with mass gratitude for solid and robust piece-of-art laptops and particularity, the Satellite Pro A200 is not an odd exception, not a disappointment. The Satellite Pro offers Intel new processor technology as far as concerned. This advantage gives the user open options for use of softwares and applications compatible with the new technology of duo-core. Still the duo-core processors are robust, at least 1.5GHZ ...
...users. This notebook has its Toshiba manufactured hard disk, well known for being solid and long life. The design of coated screen is classic and gives a great look with the new windows vista interface. The touchpad is just a tad too small given all the unutilised space above the keyboard where the speakers and quick launch buttons live. The left hand side of the chassis houses your video options with VGA and S-Video out, Ethernet port, two USB ... Read review

Advantages: Gloss LCD, Keyboard, Touchpad, CPU Speed, GPU Power
Disadvantages: LCD Resoltion,no S-Video,no PCI-E slot

...64bit, and the drivers from samsung update centre for the shortcut keys on the machine is only for 32bit operating systems,so don't expect your sc-keys to function with 64bit! But the biggest dissapointment of all was to notice that even though the machine allows for a 2nd mini internal pci-e card, the actual connector was not soldered into place,so just make sure of that before purchasing the machine. It also has only 3 usb ports, which translates ...
...video playback when hooked up to a projector. As for the logical layout of the connectors and devices, this samsung did a fine job of. The drivers and software from samsung gets constantly updated,which is great. So if you're keen on purchasing this machine, you definitly get my thumbs up. ... Read review
