Advantages: Great laptop
Disadvantages: none yet

...with the special tft monitor cleaner, just put on a cloth and everything comes off and leaves the monitor nice and gleaming! This laptop is very easy to use for any computer whizz or dummy (like me), as it is very easy to get to grips with. It has taken me all of a week to figure out where programmes are and stuff on here, more used to a computer! The ease is just incredable. Here is the specs of it all that is off the Toshiba Website: Processor type : Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T2080 clock speed : 1.73 GHz Front Side Bus : 533 MHz 2nd level cache : 1 MB Operating system Genuine Windows® Vista® Home Premium Edition System memory standard : 1,024 (512 + 512) MB maximum expandability : 2,048 MB technology : DDR2 RAM (667 MHz) Hard disk capacity : 160 GB certification : S.M.A.R.T.

Advantages: Decent spec. including decent memory, card reader, DVD writer etc., quite light and portable
Disadvantages: See review

...for being good multitaskers, so its good to have the computer following suit - we can use that to our advantage, right? ;-) lol! (another note for those that are interested, yes this has a Dual Core processor but yes it isn't one of the best, as you may expect for the price this sells at (c. £500-£550 as of October 2007), its actually a T2080 genuine Intel dual core processor with each of the two mini-processors offering 1.73Ghz, if that helps, but either way its still genuine Intel Dual Core for £500, before I hadn't seen any Dual Core laptops with decent RAM and a good size hard drive for under £600, so its still a good deal in my eyes, even though this is the most budget Dual Core processor Intel provide, or so I believe(?)). Other things I read on the webpage that it comes with, that also made me feel that this would be particularly good... Read review

Advantages: Great Sound, 2GB RAM, Quite Quick, 4 Hours Battery life, looks, Bright Widescreen, WiFi
Disadvantages: Weight...............that's it

...The Toshiba Satellite A200-195. I first saw this product on the comet website, as i was looking for my first laptop to use at home and at school, the price looked good for the specification of the laptop. So what do you get for that price: A Dual Core Processor that runs at 1.73 GHz (like having a 3.46 GHz pentium 4) A huge 2GB of high performance RAM (667 mhz DDR2) A decent 120GB hard drive An integrated DVD-RW A 15.4" Bright Widescreen Excellent WiFi and wired Internet An amazing up to 4 Hours battery life (I have only got upto 3:45 Hours, if you were to run linux you could get it upto 5 hours) Windows Vista Home Premium A very very good sound system The main thing i was looking for was a good battery life. I had a choice of this Toshiba (4 Hours) , an Apple Macbook that cost twice as much (6 Hours), a Sony Vaio almost... Read review

Advantages: superb clarity, great sound, fast and responsive, well made
Disadvantages: very heavy

....3 kg (7 lb 3 oz) The pre-installed operating system is Windows Vista Premium and it has a DVD writer, Harman/Kardon stereo speakers, microphone, wireless LAN aerial and a Bluetooth aerial built in plus an integrated 1.3 Mega pixel webcam I will go through the rest of its specifications, but please bear in mind not all of the terms mean that much to me but both the IT guy and my own geek were quite impressed. This Toshiba Satellite has a 160GB Serial ATA-150 hard drive so it is quite spacious, It has an Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 / 1.73 GHz processor which is dual core with a data bus speed of 533 MHz. it has a Mobile Intel 945PM Express chipset. It comes with 1 GB RAM installed and will take up to 4GB. This machine now has 2 GB, the RAM being DDR II SDRAM - 667 MHz. there is a L2 Cache memory of 2 MB. This all equates to it being...

...Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-830 I aquired one of these laptops as a Christmas present, and I was presently suprised at how fast this laptop was!

Advantages: Compact, portable, dual core, good sized screen, smooth keyboard
Disadvantages: None yet-fingers crossed

...and a shiny, black lid with TOSHIBA in silver across it.In fact the top could be a very dark blue which is almost black. The first problem was how to open it. After much twiddling of knobs and buttons we finally found the catch to open the laptop. It actually opens very easily. It is just that it has other controls near to the opening catch. We especially wanted this dual core model so that we could access the Internet via a wireless connection and router easily and quickly. It does this to a treat. Connection speeds are very quick. Windows Vista is installed, as it is with most new computers these days. Vista was new to me also but I have found it fairly straightforward to use. Near the opening catch on the front of this laptop there is a switch which needs to flicked across to connect to the Internet. When it is moved a red light shows... Read review

Advantages: Low Cost, Good Spec on the Whole
Disadvantages: Not Enough Ram Installed

....crucial.co.uk), and at £15+ for another 512MB of ram or £24 for an additional 1GB of ram its well worth doing. The wireless functionality of this laptop is very easy to use. Just flick the switch on the front and it starts to scan the surroundings for any available networks. The single biggest selling point this laptop has over other comparatively priced laptops is that this comes with a Dual Core (2 CPU's in one) processor and the majority of others come with a Celeron (1 reduced power CPU) Overall I would recommend buying this if you are on a tight budget but only if you can afford the £30 max for the memory upgrade....

Advantages: great all rounder
Disadvantages: games

...I really love this laptop, previously siemens haven't really made good computers or laptops but they are now starting to come out with really good products from their Fujitsu ranges. This is a amilo pro V3515, its looks stylish and is quite compact too. It features Intel Pentium Dual Core T2080 / 1.73 GHz processor which runs the 1gb of installed ram like a dream. Also if you use demanding programs and need more ram then this can be upgraded to a maximum of 2gb. This however if quite dear to do and could cost around £50. This laptop has a great 120 GB hard drive to store all your data on, also it runs at 5400 rpm which is rather quick. A criticism to fujitsu would be that this laptop doesn't have a card reader built into it, this is something a lot of people need so i was disappointed to see it didn't contain one. This amilo...

Advantages: great speeds
Disadvantages: not alot of extra features

...laptop looks really good, it's a combination of black and silvery white plastic body and this two tone colour makes it look really cool and modern. It features a Intel Pentium Dual Core T2080 / 1.73 Ghz processor which runs the 1gb of ram very well, and you'll be surprised at quite how fast this is, maybe its just how fujitsu makes their laptops, but this with only 1gb of ram seems a lot faster than some of the other brands of laptop iv come across which also had 1gb of ram installed. Another good thing about this is that the 1gb of ram can be upgraded to 2gb, however this is quite pricy and will usually cost over £50. However if you do need more ram and a quicker laptop all round then this might be something to think about. This laptop contains what seems to be the bear minimum of hard drive space these days. It has 80 gb which... Read review

Advantages: Good value for money, 2 GB memory
Disadvantages: Graphics card

...Well Im using this laptop for 6 months now and I am still satisfies with my purchase. The 15"4 is good enough for me to watch movies although a 17" would be perfect. I think its great that it has a 2 GB memory so I can run Windows Vista as well as XP. The processor is is also enough for normal use with Intels dual core 1.73 GHz. Although the disk is not huge most users are going to be happy with 200 GB. The graphics are by Intel GMA X3100, which are solid, but nothing more, so all you heavy gamers might not choose, because of it. So dont expect this machine to be running Call of Duty 4 or similar games. But you definetly get a great design, with elegant lines and a combination of silver an black. Anyways great value for what you get.... Read review
