Advantages: Upconversion to 1080i, HDMI, DIVX Playback
Disadvantages: Not very Durable, Both my players have broken

...A great DVD player with Upconversion to 780p/1080i, HDMI and component video outputs as well as DIVX playback. Pity that it will only play for 60minutes before playback grinds to a halt. I bought this player as I've not long upgraded to a HDTV. I was noticing a bit of picture derogation using my old player (connected via SCART) and decided it was time to upgrade. I was not happy buying a Blue ray or HD DVD player until for format war has finished, so i was looking for a player with HDMI output. As soon as I saw the SD-5000 I was impressed with the slim design and the front of the player has a great finish and I knew it would look good underneath my TV. Once connected to my TV via the HDMI ( note no HDMI cable was included with the player I felt a little disappointed with this) The picture was improved instantly and there was also... Read review

Advantages: Robust, powerful, functionally superior to the competition. All you could ask for from a tablet pc.
Disadvantages: Can get hot, but nothing to worry about, battery life shorter than with other models (3.5hrs), heavier than the competition making it awkward for the true mobile user.

...pound range. The Toshiba includes valuable features such as a three-year warranty, USB 2.0, 60 GB/5,400 rpm hard drive and Compact Flash (CF Type II) and Secure Digital (SD) memory slots. In summary if Toshiba could find a way to make the unit a few ounces lighter, it would be the perfect Tablet PC. Protective casing with straps/handles take away much of this weight issue....

Advantages: Multi Region, Good picture, slim, durable
Disadvantages: No Scart, not a recorder

...DVD was launched commercial over 10 years ago. The major manufacturers made the mistake of not licensing the technology appropriately and subsequently the cost of DVD players has fallen dramatically within the past 5 years. Some people may find it hard to justify the cost of a DVD player when they can picked up for £30, but I am going to write this review to communicate the advantages of having a medium range quality DVD player. So firstly, why Toshiba? Toshiba have an excellant reputation for producing quality products for a great price. There are some manufacturers such as Sony, that in my opinion rely too much on their brand image to sell the good. Toshiba both provide an excellant product, more importantly quality and value. 'What hifi' have for many years ranked Toshiba as the best budget DVD player, and the Toshiba SD340E itself... Read review

Advantages: Cash back, looks, Broad, bright display; comfortable keyboard
Disadvantages: Unimpressive battery life

...I have never seen or used a Toshiba AMD based laptop that was better than this particular piece of kit This is definately a budget machine which is a perfect desktop replacement with a sleek design and attractive display that would appeal. Pros: Broad, bright display; comfortable keyboard, new measures that Toshiba has taken to insure quality and the look Cons: Unimpressive battery life; glossy screen finish produces reflections; Verdict: The inexpensive Toshiba Satellite Pro A210-1B1 laptop offers enough features and performance oomph for basic business tasks, but its AMD processor may disappoint hard-core multitaskers. Does not over warm up so thats good news for travellers like myself. Is very good value for money, looking at prices of different stores like Technoworld (by now you should all know it is my favourite... Read review

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...

Advantages: Cheap, Solid performance
Disadvantages: Chapter skip button is also for fast forward/rewind

...I purchased myself a Toshiba 2109 multi region following several problems with a Samsung 709 I had previously purchased. It was immediatly evident that the Toshiba was superior in every respect to the Samsung. Picture quality is on the same level as the sound quality - excellent. It has an extensive range of functions and is simple to operate. It has never refused to play a disc, I buy them from all over the world via the internet. The only gripe I would have with it is to fast forward or rewind, you have to hold down the chapter skip button. This makes it easy to skip chapters accidently. However, this is a small price to pay for the quality of player you get for the minimal investment. If you're after an entry level player, this is the one!... Read review

Advantages: Huge memory
Disadvantages: Some of Toshiba's external hard drives have a separate power cable

...I recently bought a Toshiba 320gb extrenal hard drive off ebay to store my mp3's, movies, documents etc. The capacity of the drive is awesome. 320gb is almost too big. It was easy to install and I had it going within minutes. The downfall of the hard drive I purchased, is that it is big, it is an eye sore, and it does not connect to your PC/laptop via usb. It has a separate power cable. My advice would be to buy a smaller capcity hard drive which connect via usb. 320gb is far too much unless you have endless amounts of files. For £90, it does what it says on the tin. However, DO NOT pay over £90 for a Toshiba hard drive!... Read review

Advantages: Sleek design, amazing picture quality, amazing sound quality with special DNR noise reduction feature.
Disadvantages: no side mount, 3 second time delay when switiching on TV.

...Toshiba is a well known and well trusted company for all its products. The Toshiba 37X3030D LCD HDTV is said to be one of the best TV's in its range and much better then any other LCD HDTV's out there. Not only that the Toshiba 37X3030D seem to be selling really well in stores and online for the reason that it have an exceptional picture viewing quality which is outstanding, its design is neat, sleek and sexy and the price of this TV in unbelievable. The design of this Product is not all eye-catching but jaw dropping. Its sleek mirror back glossy look is really attractive and fashionable. Well this look is what you get on nearly all LCD TV's these days. But with the Toshiba its something much more then that as with the TOSHIBA, its not only makes your living room look more modern and livens up the area it also gives it a updated... Read review

Advantages: Great Sound and Performance, High Screen Resolution
Disadvantages: None

...The Toshiba Satellite P200 -17C is the perfect laptop if you're looking for some gaming fun. Its 2D and 3D performance is impressive, while six USB ports are scattered around the machine. The speakers are excellent and Interacting with the P200 is a mixed bag because whilst the trackpad is great, the keyboard has a couple of flaws. The space bar feels as though it's about to pop off and the diminutive size of the 'Enter' button.Opting for screen size over mobility, the Toshiba Satellite P200-13Z is aimed at home multimedia use. With its dual-core processor, 17-inch screen and large keyboard, it suits desktop use where comfort is more important than portability. A thoroughly capable desktop replacement with plenty of storage and power, but it's pricey.... Read review

Advantages: low cost , easy to use
Disadvantages: not that i can see

...when i first decided to step up into the dvd world i wanted a relatively cheap but easy to use dvd player. that is what i've got with this player. it is also multi-region but unlike a lot of other players this one has a very useful automatic region changer. when i compared this one to that of my brothers(a pioneer) i thought the extra £100 he spent on his was not justified because his is just to hard to use. with the toshiba all you have to do is put the disc in and press play, as simple as that....
