Pros: 1GHz processor, subwoofer, GeForce2Go graphics, 15' screen, style, power!
Cons: Expensive, poor software bundle, poor battery life, other minor quips
Summary: Another notebook? How many of these things do I have... well, this may well be the last one I look at for the next few years. I like this notebook more than my top of the line Dell Inspirion 8000 notebook I purchased and reviewed earlier this month. ... read more

Pros: fast, light, powerful, tough
Cons: none
Summary: I just recently bought this laptop to replace my Compaq Presario 1700T (P3-850,512MB, CDRW/DVD, etc.). After Compaq decided to send it back inoperable & then not really wanting to help me on the phone, I simply destroyed it out of pure rage! Anyway, this ... read more

Pros: 15" TFT active matrix screen
Cons: relatively expensive at $1900 at Circuit City
Summary: For the past two years I have been in high tech fixing PCs, tutoring newbies, and selling PCs. In that short period of time, I saw laptops go from sub-$2,000.00 dollar 300+ Mhz AMD K62 machines to sub-$2,000.00 dollar Pentium 3 and Athlon 4 laptops. ... read more

Pros: GeForce2 GO graphics, best gaming laptop hardware available.
Cons: None, this laptop is about as good as it gets.
Summary: Yorik has been a good friend and companion for some time now, but he's losing some of his spunk. Besides he's never been the most mobile of friends. Because of this I ended up going in search of a new friend, a portable friend. I wanted the ... read more

Pros: Large, beautiful screen, Simple keyboard layout, fast processor.
Cons: Short battery life, strange software group.
Summary: By way of background, let me first tell you that this is my third laptop in three years, but it's the first laptop I've owned that does everything right. I'm a remodeling contractor, and I don't have the time or the ability to 'tweak' the software, ... read more

Pros: Features for price
Cons: Poor customer support. Aggravating hardware issues and constant system freezes.
Summary: purchased the 2800 to replace an aging Toshiba laptop (P100, 40mb RAM, 1.2 HDD) which served me faithfully for 5 years. In just the first month since purchase, the new computer is such a disappointment that I'm tempted to revert to my old machine and ... read more

Pros: bright screen, fast, versatile, built-in network card and modem, looks slick
Cons: uncomfortable pointing device, short battery life, noisy soundcard, bit heavy
Summary: I bought this laptop new and doubled the RAM. It runs like a dream. I was a little skeptical about Windows ME, but have found it to be more stable than anything else - and Toshiba was not willing to help me install a different OS.
It's really ... read more

Pros: Solid unit that works well
Cons: No screen adjustments
Summary: Having ordered this unit just before Christmas 12/23/00, I got and turned in on only to find the screen didn't come on. I could hear it boot up and I almost could see enough to know that the system did boot. How disappointing to have a new computer that ... read more

Pros: fast and sleek
Cons: very bad keyboard design
Summary: I traded in an old IBM Think Pad 1512 for this laptop, the first thing I can say about this laptop is that it is much faster than then my old one. It has a 650 Mhrz Intel Celeron Processor with MMX technology and Intel's Speed Step Technology that helps ... read more

Pros: Lightweight
Cons: sticking "snooze" switch
Summary: This laptop stood out from all the others on the shelf. The two- tone lid was just different enough to make me take a closer look- and I liked what I saw.
All the gimmicks you'd expect in in a higher end laptop are there: DVD, decent sized ... read more
