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 SD-P1600

Advantages: Well made, good features, light weight, plays all discs.
Disadvantages: Battery looks like an after thought.

...There are many portable DVD players on the market but this compact little device from Toshiba takes a lot of beating. Compared to the competition its not the cheapest on the market but it is one of the best. Its 9" screen may look small but it is of great quality & handles all movies I have watched on it without any compromises. The top mounted DVD lid is hinged from the rear making loading & unloading discs very easy. A simple on/off switch is situated on the left hand side with the volume control on the opposite side along with two headphone sockets, AV in/out & the main power lead socket. All other controls are to the right of the lid, these include the usual ones for skipping scenes/tracks, menu, mode, set-up etc. The controls take more pressure to operate than I would have expected & I feel that the control buttons for fast...

Review of Toshiba SD-P1900

For families and all ages (now can read > 2GB SD cards!!!)

Advantages: easy game play, lots of onine games to download, wireless internet conectivity, now read >2GB card
Disadvantages: not enough storage space (need a lot of 2GB SD cards to store the downloaded games).

...Latest update (13 th Dec 2009): The latest Wii firmware version 4.2 offers the ability of the console to read SD card that is > 2GB. I put a 4GB SD card in and it does read it and I can see more 'block's available for my card (2GB card ~ 14000 blocks; 4GB card ~ 27000 blocks). Since it can read the new SDHC format card, the storage in a single card can now extend to 16GB or beyond. I can a couple of the Wii ware games stored in the card too, without the need to transfer them to the console memory and so forth. Good move Nintendo! Price: The price has dropped significantly. In fact there was a brief period that Sainsbury supermarket offers a 20% off their Wii console (starter) bundle i.e. Wii console + Wii Sport + Wii Sport Resort for £135.99. When I heard about it, it was 3 days before the deals ended. Obviously there...

Toshiba SD-260 DVD Player

Advantages: Looks good, easy to use, good value for money
Disadvantages: No disc resume feature

...The first thing you notice with this Toshiba SD-260 DVD Player is that it looks good, it's silver, think and looks modern and stylish. The height is 43.8 mm, width is 421 mm and the depth is 260 mm and it weighs 2.3 kg, which is fairly light. On the front it has a tray on the left, which is hidden and on the right it has 6 buttons - eject, stop, play/pause, fast forward, rewind and power. When the power button is on it lights up blue. In the middle of the player there is an LCD display where the timings and chapters of the DVD are displayed. I decided to buy this DVD Player as it was a Toshiba, who are a respectable electronics manufacturer, so I thought I would be safe buying the product from them, and I have not been dissappointed. I have had this DVD Player for a year now and have had no problems, apart from loosing...

Review of Toshiba SD-260 E

Toshiba DVD player SD370

Advantages: Upscaling ability, picture quality is exceptional - 5 stars
Disadvantages: DVD tray wont like small children poking fingers in!

...What HiFi gave this player 5 star rating commenting that it believed Toshiba had shot itself in the foot by producing such a good player at such a cheap price, even comparing it £200 players. On this basis alone, I bought one. Firstly, it is exceptionally slimline, Victoria Beckham would love it. But that aside, do not be put off by the price tag, The finish of this player is good. If you have small children then perhaps the DVD tray is somewhat thin and frail and will not take kindly to heavy handed children or adults, for that matter. This aside, however, the optical result are exceptional. I have to keep smiling when I realise how little this player costs. The ability to scale up DVD's to 1080i works very well with the colours becoming richer and the definition becoming much more pinsharp - all in a player that costs so little. I...

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...

Toshiba SD330E

Advantages: 'Toshiba Brand Name' Multi Region capability
Disadvantages: No On Board DTS/Dolby Digital Decoder

...I bought the Toshiba SD330E DVD player 3 Months ago. My choice, was influenced at the time by the price (£49.99), and, having already owned the lower model Toshiba SD125E. Advantages of the SD330E: = Plays DVD, VCD, Audio CD (inc mp3/ wma format) JPEG's (Photo cd's/dvd's) , as well as DVD-R discs of dvd video format, with no problems. Multi Region Capable (provided you check where you are buying it from). Component video outputs, coaxial audio & optical audio outputs.

Toshiba or not Toshiba DVD is the question

Advantages: Excellent picture quality and they are lowering in price and are simple to use ans set up
Disadvantages: DVD disc's are a little to expensive although they will probably lower in price as the revolutioon takes off

...no tuning was required, but I was till unsure what to do with it as I had never used a scart cable, and in the instructions it does not mention that scart is an automatic tuner, that was only pit fall about the instructions that I have found. So I connected the cable turned on the DVD and instantly a message appeared on the TV welcoming me to DVD by Toshiba, amazing or what I thought. That then gave me my next worry, I tried to change channels but it automatically goes back to your scart channel, I referred back to instructions and this is where I found out that it automatically goes to scart when DVD is on full power, to get back to normal TV just put it on standby, as simple as that that was my DVD player fully installed almost as easy as the kettle. Now on to the features! Picture Quality: The qualities of DVD movies are simply...

Review of Toshiba SD-2109

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...
