Toshiba Satellite U400-138 (User Review)

Advantages: Ultra-Portable, light weight, 13.3", Intel Core2duo, Centrino2 (Latest Technology) laptop
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. After contemplating few of the latest brands I chose the Toshiba Satellite U400-138, about 10 days back. Have used it vigorously since; and am already overwhelmed by this Little "Powerhouse". Main Specifications: You'll get the detailed config. of this notebook everywhere, specifically www.toshiba-europe.com. Here's why I chose to buy it: -Intel Centrino2 (latest notebook technology) -Core2duo (A superpower multi-processor) -13.3" Display (boy, here we are talking about mobility) -Light Weight...

Review of Toshiba Satellite Pro U400

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

Toshiba.....putting the P in PRO!

Advantages: Everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: A clichéd none (but it's true!)

...The product: Toshiba is a well known and excellent brand (and for good reasons too). Toshiba has recently launched a HD (High Definition) camcorder which is very reasonably priced at an average of £149. It is able to record HD videos at a resolution of 1,280x720p (which is excellent in this ever changing technological world). It possesses a 2.5 inch ( 6.35 cm) and even has a swivel screen (which is common in most camcorders nowadays) which can rotate 270 degrees. The product has a very restricted 128 MB internal memory, however this PRO! camcorder supports up to 32 GB (giga bites) memory cards (which is the equivalent to 16 hours of filming). Advantages and other good features of the product: As above the swivel screen can rotate up to 270 degrees: this, in effect, allows the user to capture problematic views ie (the user can film...

Review of Toshiba Camileo Pro camcorder - flash card

Toshiba Satelite Pro

Advantages: Reliable, solid machine
Disadvantages: Overheats! Beware

...I have owned a Toshiba Satelite Pro for over three years now and on the whole am very happy with the machine. There is however a caveat with my recommendation. The design boys at Toshiba made one glaring mistake by placing the cooling vent for the processor on the underside of the laptop. as a result the laptop will gets very hot, the fan is constantly working at near maximum and is noisy. Eventually, the machine will get too hot and close down. I note from a previous review that someone complains that his machine shuts down unexpectedly - I'm pretty sure that this is part of the cooling problem. Luckily the machine is smart enough to know when the heat is critical and will perform a 'hard shutdown'. Leaving the machine to make the decision however, WILL degrade the machine over time and cause reliability problems...

Review of Toshiba Satellite Pro A10

Toshiba Camileo Pro

Advantages: Easy to use, small and light, fantastic battery life, great video quality, optical zoom.
Disadvantages: Hopeless sound on recorded clips, barely audible on PC.

...At first glance this Toshiba seems to be the ideal small pocket camcorder, it has many great functions including optical zoom. The first one I purchased suffered from an intermittent screen and low sound, this was replaced with no fuss and the second Camileo proved to be a lot more reliable, very good quality video recordings can be made and the controls are simple and well laid out for ease of operation. However the sound is extremely poor on recorded clips. by that I mean almost inaudible, anything more than about six feet from camera will not be heard, even narration from the camera user is extremely low and poor quality, this is a great shame as the camera is superb otherwise, I have borrowed a third Camileo and find that the sound is completely hopeless on it too, seems this is a problem on this range. I would not advise...

Review of Toshiba Satellite Pro L300

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...
