Toshiba Equium

Advantages: Value For money
Disadvantages: No Bluetooth

...i first bought a Toshiba around about 4 or 5 years ago, it was a toshiba tecra m3, it was a lovely laptop until i dropped it and broke it, i decided that i would replace it with another toshiba because of the previous good reliability i had got from the machine, i thing that attracted me to this laptop was firstly the fact it was an operating system upgrade for me and secondly the superior specifications, the only down side being that there is no integrated bluetooth and trusted security platform, i found that the offers that were available at the time of purchase were very reasonable and i feel i got great value for money, i also think that the designer of this laptop has taken very great care with the general look and feel of the laptop and have put a lot of thought into the hardware they have supplied and it holds pride of place...

Review of Toshiba Satellite L350-12N

Typical Toshiba

Advantages: Ease of use, memory capacity
Disadvantages: Quality, feel, value for money

...The Toshiba Satellite L500 is the same as most other toshiba laptops. It looks stylish and can do all the basic functions that you would want for a laptop. However, when you use it, you dont feel very comfortable because it feels very cheap. The keyboard is very flimsy and feels like it is about to break every time you type something and the mouse pad and buttons do not respond well. However, the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard is great as it makes it so easy to type numbers. You can buy this laptop with a range of processors and sizes of harddrive so you can choose the one which suits you best. The display is actually very good but the battery life could have been improved. On my model it will last for a maximum of 2.5 hours on its lowest power setting. Overall, this laptop is reasonable at most things but not...

TOSHIBA

Advantages: Useful
Disadvantages: There are plenty of better models

...GENERAL INFORMATION This Toshiba laptop is part of the Equium series. Key Features - Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T2370 - Genuine Windows® Vista® Premium Edition - DVD Super Multi drive (Double Layer) - 1,024 MB | maximum expandability : 2,048 MB | technology : DDR2 RAM (667 MHz) - 15.4 " WidescreenToshiba TruBrite® XGA TFT (1280 x 800) High Brightness display Basically the laptop is an average notebook computer for general use. The processor and drive capabilities are nothing special, but admirable for the price that you pay. OPINION If you want a computer for anything other than general use this is not the right laptop for you. It doesnt have the capabilities to be anything other than an average computer. It could suit small business ventures that dont necessarily require a high processing speed, but is...

Toshiba Equium P200-178 Quality!

Advantages: Great laptop
Disadvantages: none yet

...I recieved this Laptop as an Early Christmas present from my hubby. We got this from PC World. I honestly dont know alot about Laptop's but here is my input on it (I will get hubby to write the dimensions, etc). When I opened the laptop up first off I realised how big the screen was, a 17" TFT Screen. The colour and pixel mode is fab on it. Big enouh to have your moves playing on here and to see the whole picture very clear. The keyboard is a full keyboard with the same buttons as a normal computer keyboard. The buttons are soft to use and doenst need alot of pressing to make them work, they are in silver colour and look great. The colour is Black and Silver with blue light up Equium and power indicators on the front of it. The Laptop comes with Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium. It has a built in 1.3M webcam...

Toshiba Equium P200-1ED, good, bad and the ugly

Advantages: Ease of portability, HIgh resolution large screen, durable and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Short battery life, Intermittent wireless compatability, Poor speakers, Heavy

...The Toshiba Equium P200-1ED, is probably one of the best laptops which I have owned. Managed to get a great bargain at PC World (part of DSG International plc), laptop, laptop bag, anti-virus software, microsoft office 2007, wireless router and wireless printer for just £499.99. The laptop was well packaged, and includes the various accesories for power supply e.t.c. First set up took a while as I installed the various features. A bit of patience is worth it as the machine eventually springs to life. Before purchaseing this item I made sure I read up on it and was surprised at exactly what this laptop had to offer, the specs are below: Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T2310 -1.46 GHz 2GB DDR2-667MHz 120GB Hard Drisk 17" Widescreen TruBrite TFT (1440x900 - 16:10) DVD Super Multi drive (Double Layer) Intel GMA X...

The Toshiba Equium A110-233: Jack of All Trades

Advantages: Is more than adequate across the board; very easy to use
Disadvantages: As a result, it is unexceptional in most of its attributes

...The Toshiba Equium A110-233 is a very competent all-purpose computer, coming at a very reasonable price (I purchased mine online at Dixons for round about £460). The actual model itself looks stylish enough, though it lacks any particularly imaginative design flair. Suffice to say, however, that it isn't an ugly, clunky beast like some laptops to be found on the market. The screen is perfectly serviceable, with adequate resolution to handle the viewing of multimedia, and doesn't fall into the recent trend of laptops of being irritatingly minute. The processing capability of the hardware is certainly fit for purpose too - unless you plan on using memory-intensive games or image-editing software, it should satisfy your needs; certainly if you intend mostly to utilise Microsoft Office, the internet, and other software...

Toshiba Equium L20 -198

Advantages: Lightweight & compact
Disadvantages: Low battery life, Rubbish sound, Low Ram

...This Laptop looked good on the shelf in the shop and performs quite well. It came with XP Home edition which I quickly upgraded to Pro and added Office 2003 as I don't like working with Microsoft Works which comes as standard. It has 3 USB2 ports and 2 PCMCIA slots along with the normal headphone, Microphone, External Monitor and of course the power socket. The on board RAM however was advertised as being 521Mb but when I set it up and started to play with it Discovered that the on board Graphics Borrows Some 64Mb of this so I added another 512Mb of Ram only to find that the another 64Mb had been borrowed. This was fine now though but I didn't notice any improvement of the graphics but I'm sure it did something. The L20 is 11g WIFI certified and this works exceptionally well connecting at distances where my previous laptop could not find...

Save up some dosh to buy this Tosh...iba

Advantages: Fast, Portable, Comfortable and Sleek, HD Resolution, Toshiba support is brilliant!
Disadvantages: Awful grapics card, Not very durable, Speaker volume isn't fab...

...that law legal. So the laptop, it's got plenty of positives and only a few negatives. And if you've read my other reviews, I like to get the negatives out of the way first. NEGATIVES I'll get straight to the point, the graphics card is seriously bad, there's no way around it. It's a new thing where your computers RAM is used to power some of the graphics, like video and pictures. However this won't work with high-end games like the Call of Duty series or Crysis. This however, isn't a laptop you'd buy if you were wanting one for gaming, so it's not a major draw back. Another bad point is the durability, which isn't great. The lid can be pushed in, revealing it is fairly hollow apart from the screen and its components. I thought this a bit stupid as Toshiba are just wasting money making more material, why not just make it thin and tight guys...

Review of Toshiba Satellite L350-12N

A fairly priced laptop that does the job

Advantages: great for most applications, runs vista well
Disadvantages: poor sound card, frustrating graphics card, not for games

...Toshiba have really expanded their Laptop/ notebook range over the last decade. The Equium series represents an affordable option for those wanting a standard laptop without advanced hardware. The Equium range operates moderately with Vista- although slow down can often be a problem. Even with a couple of Gig of Ram and the dual core processor it can often have short moments of fatigue. Initially problems such as these aren't noticable, but after a year or so- when you have a number applications running in the background- then you realise what a difference higher power machines make. The on-board sound card is certainly nothing to get excited about. If you are into your music then don't expect to blast it out. I would pitch this laptop to students or general application/internet users but not gamers. The on-board graphics have...
