My Toshiba Tecra M2 - Warming up to Progress

Advantages: Light, versatile, packed with features
Disadvantages: It's still a laptop

...Let me make it perfectly clear right up front: I'm not overfond of laptops. They're relatively small, usually have rather fuzzy screens, come with small keyboards that make typing difficult, and have strange built-in mice that are nigh onto impossible to manipulate. Given my durthers, I'll take a full-sized PC any day. Despite all these disclaimers, my purpose here to review the Toshiba Tecra M2 notebook, kindly purchased for me by my company to make me more efficient and productive. Now don't get me wrong. I appreciate the sentiments and the logic of the new laptop, even though I use it far less often than my more powerful, less portable desktop. But I have to admit, my Tecra M2 isn't as bad as I feared. Talk about damning with faint praise! Perhaps I can improve a bit on that. There's one thing my Toshiba does remarkable...

Review of Toshiba Tecra M2

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 Tecra A9 Laptop computer

Advantages: Lightweight, powerful, strong, long battery life. Excellent toshiba software. Quiet. Filter on CPU vent
Disadvantages: Headphone port at the front. Tiny trackpad. Creaks a lot. Screen not that good

...a sweat. The graphics preformance of the laptop, though lacking slightly on the 3D and gaming side, excells at HD playback, which is as smooth as one could want. However, there are some shortfalls. The toshiba software is a little annoying and does slow the machine down a little, and sometimes doesn't work. For example, you can't change the screen brightness and or you can't lock the computer and it wont shut down. The headphone port placed at the front of the laptop below the trackpad is quite odd and I am always knocking into it, and resting on it when I am using the laptop. It also doesn't fare well when watching a DVD (DVD playback preformance is very good and smooth by the way) it can get in the way. The laptop is also rather creaky, and there is some bending of the plastic in certain areas. The screen also seems to be comming...

Review of Toshiba Tecra A9

Why Buy a Tecra?

Advantages: Fast, Great Graphics Chip, Light (2.6kg)
Disadvantages: Expensive, Sensitive to registry changes

...Why did I buy the Tecra 8100? First of all what I wanted was a desktop replacement machine, one on which I could do all my spreadsheet and word stuff as well as play games. I am an engineer so I need good connectivity options as well. The choice was:- Dell Inspiron 3800, 5000, 7500 Toshiba Tecra 8100 HP Omnibook 6000 The Dells are very good machines, I used to old an old 7000 series. The 3800 is light and quite quick, the 5000 has all the multimedia features you need, the 7500 has even more. But... The 3800 is not meant to be used as a desktop replacement, it doesn't have the oomph for that. The 5000 and 7000 are great machines but heavy. The HP Omnibook is the machine I would probably buy by choice except that it is very expensive and uses the ATI graphics card The Tecra is not as expensive as the Omnibook and uses...

Review of Toshiba Satellite L350-12N

Toshiba USB 8gb Flash drive, Safe storage with no frills,

Advantages: Reliable data storage, small & light, stronger & more robust than it looks.
Disadvantages: Feels a bit flimsy, seperate cap is easy to misplace.

...Overview I bought this USB flash drive direct from Toshiba, to transfer data between my laptop and desktop PC's. The first thing I noticed is that it is small and light, but it looks and feels a bit flimsy with its white plastic body, and there is some give in the plastic body when you grip it to plug it in, which did not inspire me with much confidence in it. It has a seperate small silver plastic cap, which could be very easy to misplace, but it clips firmly to the main body, so it would not easily fall off, even when dropped, and unlike some drives you do get a lanyard with it. However, in use it has proved to be very reliable and it is a lot more robust than it looks and feels, it has survived me dropping it onto my hard stone tiled floor on more than one occasion with no damage or malfunctions whatsoever. Data...

Review of Toshiba Nozomi - USB flash drive - 8 GB

Ipod Touch 8Gb with engraving

Advantages: All the features of the iphone but without the massive price tag
Disadvantages: battery life could be better

...--Background-- I bought the iPod touch for my son for his 10th birthday. Before he alerted me to the item I knew nothing at all about it. Having played around with it for a few hours, I can now see what all the fuss is about as this item is so addictive. The touch comes in 3 guises, namely 8Gb, 16Gb and 32Gb versions. These are all identical apart from, obviously the storage capacity. --In the box-- I must admit that then the box came, I thought half the order had been missed as it is minute! Along with the ipod itself, you get the headphones, a usb to pc charger and a quick setup guide. Although this seem very little, it is actually enough to get you up and running in next to no time. As we bought this direct from the Apple store we were entitlted to free engraving on the back of the device. We took the decision to have his...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

THE 8GB MUSIC PLAYER.

Advantages: LARGE MEMORY, SOUND OUTPUT AND LONG BATTERY LIFE.
Disadvantages: : FRAGILE IN LOOKS.

...the I pod touch makes it quite a different and unique. The I pod touch is capable of storing large capacity of information well what actually do you think of a device that that has 8gb memory space. Like I wrote above, it is capable of 1500 to 1700 songs and on the other hand, capable of storing 10,000 pictures and also capable of playing video for the duration of 10 hours. In terms of videos, you can equally upload videos just like in music. You can upload movie but the issue with it is that the more you videos you put, the less you space In the music section, we have many categories like the album, artist, song title and genre these are the categories that make it very possible for you to make easy selections of your music. But what I don't like about the device is lack of external loudspeaker so it then means that if by mistake you...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

  iPod Touch 8GB

Advantages: intuitive, stylish, fun, great music player, variety of features, internet function
Disadvantages: fingerprints! no camera, no built in speakers, only available in black currently

... 8GB iPod Touch As my boyfriend's birthday approached, I was panicking as to what to get him as men are a nightmare to shop for and I really wanted to get something exciting. I noticed that he kept borrowing my ipod nano and initially planned to get him one of his own but on the Apple website I saw the ipod touch and worked out that if I got him that then I could steal it and use it! From the Apple website, the 8GB iPod Touch cost me £199 with free postage and packing and a free optional engraving. I thought this was a reasonable price it was nice and simple to order it online. I chose the free engraving option and this enabled me to have a two line engraving on the back (top centre) of the ipod. Obviously, it is a very good idea to check your spelling at this point as the ipod cannot be returned due your mistakes when...
