Toshiba NB100

Advantages: Nice look, good battery life.
Disadvantages: Too small.

...actually pretty impressive. Function The notebook works quite well with wireless internet and doesn't cut off often as I have found with wi-fi on some other laptops. It also has an impressive battery life, in a recent car journey, I found it lasted about 3 and 3/4 hours, easily enough time for all of the film I was watching as well as some of another. It is available in two versions, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP Home., but the Linux has 512Mb of RAM and an 80Gb hard disk, the Windows one has 1Gb of RAM and a 120Gb drive. I personally own the windows version, since I know more about the operating system and prefer the high memory levels. The rest of it's specifications are pretty average for a note book and it runs as such. Overall The Toshiba NB100 is great if you're japanese and/or believe things should be made...

Review of Toshiba NB100

Twee little Tosh?..

Advantages: Compact and Powerful
Disadvantages: Fiddly

...powerful miniscule computers compared to the compromises built into scaling such functionality so far down so that it fits on a phone). I am happy to carry my phone separately and just boot up my Netbook PC when the need dictates. With a plethora of choice for me familiarity and trust in the Toshiba brand attracted me to the mini marvel. I gleefully selected My Toshiba NB100 from Amazon, electronically submitted payment of £249.98 and waited for the postman to arrive. This he did some two days later in April 2009 bringing a simply boxed package containing a Toshiba NB100-12A 8.9-inch Netbook, Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Windows XP Home When you look on Amazon now you will see this model has already been superceded by a version with 160 GB HDD,?? but what the heck I am really quite pleased with mine. Reasons For Believing...

Review of Toshiba NB100

There is nothing exceptional about this Netbook.

Advantages: Attractive outlook, useful bundled of softwares, very very useful networking options.
Disadvantages: stuffed keyboard, poor ram, expensive, almost useless webcam, poor resolution.

...Netbooks have been introduced to consumers as the secondary option of laptop, which allows them to perform the basic computing tasks, office works and web surfing but not for extensive uses. Consumers can get them in much cheaper price than laptops. Having said that, this Toshiba netbook is not something outstanding or standout choice to go for. It does not perform exceptionally poor or exceptionally better than other netbooks. The processor is intel atom N270 with processing 1.6 GHz. It's a single core processor with modest speed. Atom 200 series is designed as single core with having the ability to perform 2 instructions per cycle. So, just for very normal office works it's alright. Though in the bright side, Intel Atom processors come with speedstep technology, which allows less consumption of power and battery longevity as well...

Review of Toshiba NB100

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...

Review of Toshiba Satellite L500

Small and cute way to the World Wide Web...

Advantages: Small and portable, Ubuntu tweaked for use on a netbook makes it simple
Disadvantages: Can get warm, driver issues

...operating system 512mb of RAM, 1.6ghz processor and 80gb harddrive are more than enough to keep it running smoothly. One thing I do notice is the odd clicky squeak coming from the harddrive which really is more of an annoyance than anything affecting function. The track pad, what it lacks in size it makes up in sensitivity so it is fine. I like the keyboard, it feels okay to type with for general Internet browsing. When open the netbook looks like a shrunk down version of any other Toshiba laptop. It's not the most stylish but I like its shiny case. The battery sticks out of the back but that's to make room for a bigger keyboard. Doesn't look that bad though! As well as this, the netbook comes with 3 USB ports and a web cam which are all nice extras. Build quality of the whole thing is sturdy and there are no rattles when it's moved...

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

Big laptop Small money

Advantages: small money for perfect performance
Disadvantages: none

...I have used Dell Inspiron 1545 for a couple of months. I'm glad I made right decision. My friend who works in computer filed suggested me this one after asking me my demand for a laptop. First , I would like to say , it can totally meet all requirements I expected from a good laptop. I use it to write articles especially for my blog, to send and receive emails, to talk on MSN and Skype with my family and friends abroad. It never let me down. I also used it to watch TV including the programs on BBC Iplayer. Compared to my desk computer, I can feel the speed on my laptop was faster and the stability of the network was better. Second, it has nice overall design. Slim, Simple and sleek. You have three colors to choose . I chose the black one that matches from outside to inside. The keyboard has all the necessary controls that I used...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Nice laptop, FAB extended warranty!

Advantages: Good specs, fast, wonderful extended warranties
Disadvantages: Feels a bit flimsy, no indicator lights showing wifi connection, etc.

...of accidental damage support cost £129 on top of the 4-year package for extended warranty (can't recall what that cost; something like £89? Maybe £100?). Those warranties have already more than paid for themselves. We'll want to replace this laptop in four years, so it's covered from any clutzy mishaps for the entire time we'll be using it. Really, really pleased with this warranty! That said, we had this same warranty on our last Dell Inspirons (we each had one; I'm still using my old one), except it was for three years instead of four, and never once had to file a claim - though we both developed problems in the fourth year with our computers and wished we had the four-year warranty. The warranty is quite pricey if you never have a problem, but it really has come in handy for us this time and means a lot of peace of mind! I'll be getting these...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Dell Inspiron 1545 - good entry level laptop

Advantages: Cheap, good brand, lots of features,
Disadvantages: Probably not powerful enough for games, bottom of the market now

...The Dell Inspiron 1545 is an easy to use entry level laptop. Unlike two years ago when I bought my previous laptop, you can now get a number of Dell computers (of which this is one) direct from high street retailers. This is good if you want it in a rush and want a nearby place to handle any issues, but has the disadvantage that you can't customise your laptop to your own requirements to the same extent that you can if you buy it direct from Dell (which takes several weeks). Because Dell are so good at allowing customisation, you need to be very careful when you buy that you actually get the one you need - they are not all the same, so you can't just go into a shop and say "Give me your Inspiron 1545" - you need to be sure that it e.g. has a suitable processor, enough memory and a big enough hard drive for your needs. At the time...
