Toshiba Satellite U400-138 (User Review)

Advantages: Ultra-Portable, light weight, 13.3", Intel Core2duo, Centrino2 (Latest Technology) laptop
Disadvantages: NOTHING AT ALL

...(just about 2 Kgs.) -HD Ready (Toshiba is the pioneer of Hi-Def) -3 Gb RAM (min. needed for today's multimedia works) -320 Gb Hard disc (a whopper!) -Intel GMA 4500 MHD (128 Mb Graphics; not the best) -Competitively Priced (I bought it for Dhs. 4,500/-; US$ 1,200/- approx.) Reasoning: My shopping list had Macbook, Sony, Toshiba, Lenovo and Acer (exactly in that order) for their equivalent "Reliability". After deliberately checking those out I finally settled down for the Toshiba Satellite U400-138. You know why? (1)Configuration, (2)Looks and (3)Price. Toshiba beats them in these 3 departments. I'll give you my reasoning, which may not be right for everyone, but is the general requirement for all notebook shoppers:  Macbook. I sincerely wanted to migrate to Mac this time. But found their configuration & pricing not...

Review of Toshiba Satellite Pro U400

Almost perfect

Advantages: Sound quality just takes you there, a giant screen!
Disadvantages: Contrast needs to be beefed up on screen. very expensive

...I saw this at a friends house the other day and had a go to test out his assertions that this was the best mainstream gaming laptop on the market. Other than the amazing looks of the laptop, the first thing that struck me was the giant 17 inch screen that just asks to be looked at. It's a TruBrite display screen from toshiba that does give tremedous visual output in sheer colour tones and contrast. I was surprised that it worked so well when the graphics were at their maximum, but then this is a gaming machine people! It has enough RAM to get you started at 2 GB and my mate upgraded this easily to 8 GB, meaning his laptop was extraordinarily fast. A quick Core 2 Duo T7300 processor ensures that the games are perfecto!. It has an okay 160 GB of hard drive space and that would be enough for about 20 large PC games, though i wouldn...

Toshiba Satellite L350-12N

Now we talk about the mother board of of this laptop it is Intel GMA X3100 and we also get inbuilt ATI Radeon X1250 graphics card and we can get total 831 MB graphics memory which is cool.with this graphics memory many games will smoothly. If we come to the processor Pentium Dual Core - 1.73 GHz.Here dual core means two 1.73 processors integrated means a total of 3.46GHz is processor speed and we have 2GB RAM which is sufficient.If you are buying for playing games then i prefer 3GB RAM is good the game will be smoother and day by day requirements are climbing and climbing so if we keep 3 to 4 GB it will great . In this laptop we have in build speakers they are nice and we also have...

alpine ida x200

Advantages: good sound nice to look at
Disadvantages: skips in middle of songs, no clock!!!!!, pay £160.00 for great sound

...Ok bought alpine ida x200 as it did nearly all the things x100 does but was a £100 cheaper. after installing i noticed the clock would not display, so i contacted alpine u.k. and they gave me instructions on how to display. I followed instructions but these did not work so again i contacted alpine u.k. The response came back he had given wrong instructins and the x200 does not have a clock. The sound is nice on system but if you want to have great sound you have to buy an imprint sound manager system about £49.00. Then you will need the sound chip aruond £120.00. If you want bluetooth phone connection add another £80.00.if you want a clock add £100 and upgrade to the x100, i have never bought alpine before and never will again. I will say this though if you buy American x200 you do get a clock and a calender. Amazing how we the British...

Review of Alpine IDA-X200

Toshiba Satellite Pro A60

Advantages: Sturdy design Nice Blue colour Get a lot for your money
Disadvantages: Overheating/crashing problems experienced Memory upgrade was necessary Required a lot of tweaking to get 'right'

...The Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 laptop is ideal for entry level home users, and possibly students who have some time on their hands to sort stuff out. I wouldn't say it was suitable for the lower end of the business market, as Toshiba seem to be targeting with this product. I could be wrong however, maybe I was just unlucky! I have had mine for 8 months now, after previous satellite old faithful, which I had owned for about 7 years, gave up the ghost in the middle of a project, and I needed a cheap laptop quickly. I was impressed by the blue design which veers away from the boring black/grey you're used to seeing on the budget end notebooks. For the budget it was a toss up between this or a Dell, and in the end I decided to go for the Tosh which wasn't the bottom end of the scale like the Dell was for the same money. Due to...

Toshiba Satellite M30 - Good Lookin Machine

Advantages: Fast, lots of features, easy to use
Disadvantages: Problems with internal modem, infra red port has short range

...The Toshiba satellite m30 pro is a thin and sleek laptop matching the looks and requirements for todays busy and on the move users.
