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...

My Siemens A60... A Bargain

Advantages: Value for money, colour screen, easy to use
Disadvantages: The cancel button

...I recently purchased my siemens A60 at the link. It was £60 on the orange network and included 5 texts free per day for a year. If you buy the text saver deal on other phones it costs £20 a year, so to get it free made the phone even more value for money. Setting up my phone was relatively easy, with easy to follow instructions in the booklet. I did try to set it up online on the orange site but had problems as it kept restarting. When I rang the orange company to activate it the operator asked me about 10 questions and told me what to do with my phone to activate it as well as text saver. His instructions were clear and concise and soon I had my phone in working order. My A60 is black (covers are not yet available in the UK), with a colour display of 101 x 80 pixel, which is actually fairly big for a mobile. It can be used...

New Satellite Pro Laptop a Dream

Advantages: Ideal for Companies for Employees
Disadvantages: No Software included

...Toshiba, one of the best names in laptop computers about and if you are looking to pay a little less for your laptop but want a good machine then the new Satellite Pro L40 is ideal. It hasn't got dual core but at the end of the day who really needs this. This laptop is and ideal buy for any company that gives laptops to their employees, or whether you want a machine to potter about at home on. Extremely stylish and lite weight, this can be carried anywhere with you and has wi-fi so if you require it for business purposes then don't worry you can still log on in your hotel room. 512MB RAM is quite enough for any user, in my job the files produce are of extreme size and there is no problem storing all this on this machine. CD / DVD RW also included which is a bonus. The only downfall is that this laptop comes with no...

Affordable laptop for home/student/work use

Advantages: Excellent performance at an affordable price
Disadvantages: Extra memory required, poor battery life, overheats easily

...I bought the Toshiba Satellite A60 Pro through Misco around eighteen months ago and have found it to be a sturdy, good performing all round laptop. While it is by no means spectacular, for the price at the time of buying it would be hard to find anything better. It is available in 14.1 or 15 inch screens (I went for the 14.1in to aid with portability). It isn't the lightest laptop in the world but it is sturdy and after many days of carrying it to and from university, it has still lasted with out any breakdowns. It comes with a whopping 2.8Ghz processor but the downside to this is that it overheats incredibly quickly. I found that if the fan on the underside was resting on my leg with no escape route for the air, then within about 10-15 minutes, the computer would switch itself off without warning and couldn't be switched...

Canon Power Shot A60 - a very user-friendly digital camera

Advantages: Ease of use, quality, versatility, robust construction, good instructions, good value
Disadvantages: Quite heavy on batteries

...I have owned this digital camera for two years now and it has been a real 'friend'. Absolutely no operating problems and very neat and convenient to carry around without being too small. I am a big guy with large hands and find the current obsession with smaller and smaller products quite frustrating, (hence I have a rather larger than average mobile and I will not buy anything with tiny keys). The Canon A60 is ideal for me as it has the feel of a good solid product and has just enough options on it - settings for a variety of lighting conditions and manual and automatic options. You can take a short video on it too. It is, of course, compatible with computers. It takes solid memory cards, for which I use a Packard Bell card reader with the computer. The only shortcoming of this camera is that it is fairly heavy on batteries (four...

Review of Toshiba Satellite Pro L300

Toshiba Satellite Pro

Advantages: Fairly Cheap, stylish and looks good
Disadvantages: Battery life not amazing

...my laptop, the only thing I didn't appreciate was all the stickers over the inside (to the left of the mouse pad), there is a "Desiged for XP" sticker, and "Intel Inside" sticker, one "Bundled with MS OneNote 2003" and a final "Surround Sound" which personally I dont like (hense I removed the last two) I have recomended this laptop to other people who have been looking, Toshiba have many different spec's in the Satellite Pro models, and the final thing about this laptop, the name, "what laptop do you have?" There is nothing more I love saying then "a Satellite Pro"...

Disadvantages: NOTHING AT ALL

...Notebook Review Toshiba Satellite U400-138 -The little wonder; Laptop at its best! Why to buy? Let me first tell you that I had owned laptops before (5 of them). A month back I purchased an HD Camcorder and thus, started shopping for something more powerful, to do my HD Movie Editing. I knew it was time for a core2duo model.

Review of Toshiba Satellite Pro U400

A pro in its time

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

...Firstly I will 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 the receipt in my mum's emails (I was and still am a terror for reading emails!) for somewhere way over £1000, this was when the satellite pro was a top of the range laptop and laptops were a 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...
