No Tish Or Tosh WIth Toshiba's Tecra?

Advantages: Compact and Classy, loads of features, extra security and has good memory capacity.
Disadvantages: Silly placed finger tip scriber. No mounts at the rear to elevate it.

...Hand on heart I'm not a PC whizz kid anymore although I spent many hours swearing at my old PC until it was rendered useless and it saw the big recycling bin when it came to turfing it. In 2007 I bought my first PC laptop - a Toshiba Tecra M5 from PC World and although they were unable to supply me with the laptop I wanted in the shop, I ordered and paid for it - and bless them - they managed next day delivery of my new Toshiba. Why choose Toshiba? Well largely it had everything I wanted which trounced my dad's similar specified Advent at a quarter of the size. It didn't occur to me the complete size of his Advent laptop until I removed it one day to use in another part of the house and realised just how massive it is compared to Toshiba's Tecra M5. I was also recommended to try and find Toshiba as most of their laptops are generally...

My Toshiba Tecra M2 - Warming up to Progress

Advantages: Light, versatile, packed with features
Disadvantages: It's still a laptop

...Let me make it perfectly clear right up front: I'm not overfond of laptops. They're relatively small, usually have rather fuzzy screens, come with small keyboards that make typing difficult, and have strange built-in mice that are nigh onto impossible to manipulate. Given my durthers, I'll take a full-sized PC any day. Despite all these disclaimers, my purpose here to review the Toshiba Tecra M2 notebook, kindly purchased for me by my company to make me more efficient and productive. Now don't get me wrong. I appreciate the sentiments and the logic of the new laptop, even though I use it far less often than my more powerful, less portable desktop. But I have to admit, my Tecra M2 isn't as bad as I feared. Talk about damning with faint praise! Perhaps I can improve a bit on that. There's one thing my Toshiba does remarkable...

Review of Toshiba Tecra M2

Why Buy a Tecra?

Advantages: Fast, Great Graphics Chip, Light (2.6kg)
Disadvantages: Expensive, Sensitive to registry changes

...Why did I buy the Tecra 8100? First of all what I wanted was a desktop replacement machine, one on which I could do all my spreadsheet and word stuff as well as play games. I am an engineer so I need good connectivity options as well. The choice was:- Dell Inspiron 3800, 5000, 7500 Toshiba Tecra 8100 HP Omnibook 6000 The Dells are very good machines, I used to old an old 7000 series. The 3800 is light and quite quick, the 5000 has all the multimedia features you need, the 7500 has even more. But... The 3800 is not meant to be used as a desktop replacement, it doesn't have the oomph for that. The 5000 and 7000 are great machines but heavy. The HP Omnibook is the machine I would probably buy by choice except that it is very expensive and uses the ATI graphics card The Tecra is not as expensive as the Omnibook and uses...
