Advantages: Fast, great spec, looks good, light
Disadvantages: None so far (only had it a week though)

...It is the second Samsung I've had and I love the layout of the keyboard etc - so much better than Dell, which are a bit functional (though good value for money). It's quite small which makes it light and easy to port about, and the screen is big enough, though obviously if you want a bigger screen there are loads out there larger. I expect the smallish screen improves the battery life. The actutal viewing on the screen is good though - it is one ... Read review

Advantages: Fast, upgradeable, extremely portable and super stylish
Disadvantages: Heatsink blocks up with dust easity, leading to overheating

...software STRENGTHS The Toshiba Portege A200 is one of the lightest, slimmest laptops you'll come across, but apart from a slightly poor graphics card it lacks nothing in features and is highly upgradeable. The run time is over 2.5 Hours on a fully charged battery and the 12.1" screen is 1024x768 resolution so although it takes some getting used to its small size there is room for just as much information on it as a typical 15" screen and its crystal ...
...supplied with Toshibas own suite of utilities which are superb and consume very little memory. Highlights include profiles to slow down your processor and dim the screen to extend battery life as it runs down, Quiet CD to slow your DVD drive down when watching DVD's and prevent unnecessary whirring and useful wireless network analyzers and trouble-shooters. In terms of ports you get built in fire wire - well implemented too I might add unlike some ... Read review

Advantages: Very Durable
Disadvantages: Processor a little small

A laptop that is hugely durable, i have taken it on many business trips, and it has survived in my luggage bags with merely a few scrapes on the outer casing, would definitely recommend this to a user that travels alot. I find that the battery lasts for around 1 hour and 45 mins but don't keep it in the charger all the time because i have noticed that it does shorten the battery life. The laptop is very user friendly, with easy access for any maintenance ...
...quite a good pickup range. I find that this laptop is best used for word processing etc and it weaknesses is dealing with multimedia applications such as photoshop, dream weaver etc, the processor just cant seem to handle programs like these., other than that it is a good all round laptop and ideal price for students. ...

Disadvantages: Screen could be better, not the best design

...world of insurance Toshiba and Lenovo are spelt the same?). Needless to say the chances of me renewing my policy with them are somewhere between sweet FA and Nil. However rant and rage over with here are my opinions and observations of the R61 thinkpad.

...name around, I had not linked it to the IBM brand. However as soon as you look the laptop, it is instantly recognisable as an IBM Thinkpad. Sadly though not in a good way, The keyboard and general layout do look very dated. The only plus point here is that it does seem to be very well built and sturdy enough to take the odd few knocks and scrapes. SPECIFICATIONS -------------------------- Thankfully the performance of the laptop is far better ... Read review
