Toshiba Portege 7010CT (PAP701U-T2N4) PC Notebook

Pros: Light, tough, good LCD, fast enough.
Cons: Loud fan, needs docking station for DVD-ROM and floppy.

So, you're looking for a laptop that will work with you, for you, and is about you, that is easy on the wallet and easier to carry? Then the Toshiba Portege 7010CT is certainly for you. It's also a very tough notebook, I've dropped it several times, and yet it keeps on runnin'. It's really thin, 1 inch thick, and weighs only 4 pounds. It is still advanced for today, even though it has a 299MHz Intel Pentium II MMX processcer. It comes standard with a 4.8GB Hard Disk Drive and Windows 98SE or NT 4.0. So, if you need a toughbook that plays hard and isn't afraid to get a little dirty in the business and home world, then I urge you to buy a Toshiba Portege 7010CT.

Had mine for four years. Presently running Windows ME. Repartitioned disk to 2x2 gigas - windows on C and most programmes on D. Only problems so far - battery replacement needed after 3 yrs and Tel connection port flap broke (repaired under Guarantee in Zurich by Tosh. although bought in Tokyo - Canadian for some reason). Used as a portable and very useful. Applications used - photo, Japanese learning software, banking, scanner (a bit slow, butworks) usb printer and usb mouse. usb and parallel ZIP 100 drives. IR connection to mobile phone. Norton AV (slows the startup but well worth the trouble). Docking station useful and also small enough to travel if CD rom required. Had a Toshiba PDR 2 slimline basic digicam which fits PCMCIA slot - very useful but now down and no more support. Would like to upgrade the HDD if possible, or add a new slave HDD instead of the floppy drive in the D.Station ???? (the Pentium you can't upgrade any more). It's still a good friend.
