Need your opinion on Satellite P500-1DX

Hello

I think buying a P500-1DX because it looks good on paper but there are a limited number of customers online, so I was hoping that those who have had experience with the laptop could post their comments on the advantages and disadvantages of the machine. I'm mostly multimedia oriented.

Thank you
Schlosser

I've been using Satellite P500-128 nearly 6 months now and I can say that I am very satisfied. I use it primary for my work by using internet and Microsoft Office.

When I have the time I use it with Skype for conference call with my friends. Cam functionality and the microphone is just great. From time to time, I watch movies and do multimedia usual stuff like connection digital camera for photo data transfer or movies, burns or copy on external HARD disk or DVD media.

The performance is really good, and so far I have t did not notice any problems with it.
The display is optimal. I love this screen 18. The sound is amazing and I can just recommend you to buy this machine.

It is large enough for laptop and maybe not the best for mobile use, but if you want to use it at home for private use and entertainment, it's really the right solution.
The price is OK and for the price, you will get a piece of hardware.

  • Need your opinion on Satellite A110-153

    Hello

    AI? m new here and here? m looking for a laptop. The A110-153 seems interesting to me.
    Could someone give me more information as comments on what are the + and - of the product?
    Also, I saw on a site that has this laptop has 2 hard drives. Is this true? I can't find it anywhere (toshiba.com). Also, I find that strange, I never heard that a laptop has 2 hard drives or disks.
    CA? I think that s too bad that this laptop has an integrated video card.
    What I want to do with the laptop is:
    -Internet
    -Ms office
    -work with images (I have a digital camera and a digital video camera)
    -A small Photoshop

    What? s your advice?

    Hello

    I found a few pictures of the Satellite A110-153 and in my opinion, the laptop is very nice
    The laptop supports the processor Intel Core Duo (Yonah) T2050 1.6GHz and you can upgrade the memory up to 4 GB
    I put t know where you found the information on 2 HDD, but as far as I know there's a single 100 GB HARD drive installed.

    But I found a downside. The notebook support only an Intel 945GM 8-128 MB shared memory graphics card.
    But not don t worry it s strong enough to work with photo and MS office applications.

  • Need your opinion on Satellite L300D-11V

    In contemplating this laptop priced at 349 to curries. Main use is word processing, music. I player videos download. eBay and general navigation. Chose this one because of the availability and its construction in webcam and microphone.

    New to all this... are there disadvantages I ve heard Vista these slows down, but you can t get it with XP?
    The price is right? Observations of information please.
    There was so many variations on the Toshiba site, I got a little confused!
    TKS

    I don't know if you can have the Satellite L300D-11V with licensed XP, but Vista with SP1 is almost as fast as Windows XP.
    The Satellite L300D with Vista has enough four power your use with word, downloads, etc.

  • Need your opinion on Satellite L350-20F

    Hello

    I was offered a laptop replacement by my insurance, I got the Toshiba P100-160
    and they offered me the Toshiba Satellite L350-20F.
    Is this a good deal? What is the best?

    Thanks Wilf

    Hello

    It is not easy to be realistic. If you use your laptop for the office and the typical daily activities, it's OK and I'm sure that you will be satisfied with it.

    Maybe you should talk with assurance and ask if you can get the money instead of new material.
    Take the money, put a bit of it, and buy the new notebook with the best material and components as best webcam, harman/kardon speakers and so on.

  • Need your opinion on Satellite P100-429

    Hello

    Just a few questions on this laptop until I get it when it comes to £400.

    I especially need school and no games. I am skilled in computer science I need a PC range.

    Beautiful appearance Do Q1), the blue lights in the speakers
    Q2) is like a microcomputer
    Q3) what size is.
    Q4) you have the problem like the fact cracks of the hinges.
    Q5) that the Remote looks like and is at - it a video showing the computer

    Thank you
    Machanic

    1. Yes - very, if you like cars modded or need for speed, or a Mac on steroids (bronze cover, blue lights, harman kardon speakers), then Yes.
    2. you can use it as a desktop computer, the screen is large enough for programming on without too much trouble.
    3 17 inches, you'll definitely need a bag of 17 inches, preferably the new style laptop backpacks with protection against shock, unless you want a pain arm lug around this topic (is not * that * heavy, heavy just irritable).
    4. maybe - but the Toshiba warranty Guys tell me it is being fixed, new reinforced plastic are mounted when I get mine replaced (and probably they will change the models for sale). You can't have the problem.
    5. the remote control is optional - I got one - should I have one? :)

  • Satellite P500-1DX will not accept password

    Satellite P500-1DX - Windows 7.
    Not connected this morning no problem, return to work will not accept password.
    Had not implemented the password reset disk, but have one created from my old laptop which is vista OS.

    However, when I enter the P500 it runs the wizard and an error occurs.
    The laptop has perfectly to update Norton 360 on it is probably not a virus.

    All ideas

    Hello

    What password do you mean exactly?
    BIOS or Windows user password?

    If you're talking about BIOS password then I have some bad news for you; You cannot reset a unknown BIOS password. Only a Toshiba ASP technician may remove unknown BIOS password.
    But if you talk to windows user password, then you could reset/clear the password by the new installation of the operating system for this you can use a HARD drive recovery option.

    PS: I found this article on resetting a password account user in Vista or Windows 7. I did not try it, but some people on the net reported that the account password could be changed successfully

  • Sam L20-101 or satellite M40X-231? Need your opinion

    Hi, I'm looking for a laptop and I hesitate between the Satellite L20-101 and Satellite M40X-231. I am aware of the differences and would like to hear user experiences.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Well, I think, between these two units, there is no major differences. Both units have a size of drive HARD and similar memory. Only the graphics card has other performance. The L20 has a shared memory graphics card and the M40X has a graphics card with the chip memory own 64 MB. In this case, if you need this device for applications of high-performance graphics (games), I'd buy the M40X. Moreover, I like the nice design of M40X. She very nice unit s :)

    Good bye

  • Need your opinion: Satellite A100-049 or A100-998

    I am very close to purchasing one of the above. I know that the 049 comes with Vista, xp support withh 998 which can be upgraded to Vista for a small fee.

    First of all, the 049 comes with 64-bit or 32-bit vista, I can't find the answer to this.

    Secondly, the 998 has a dedicated graphics card, the 049 seems to be more a share. I'm not a player, but you never know. I don't like to burn the dvd, edit some pictures etc. Also abreast of hard drive sizes.

    Since I can get them at a similar price then this isn't a problem, I would be grateful just all opinions with reasons. You can tell me something that I didn't.

    049 A100 is here

    998 A100 is here

    Hello

    > First of all, the 049 comes with 64-bit or 32-bit Vista?
    To my knowledge, Toshiba provides the only notebooks with the OS 32-bit (Vista and XP)

    It seems that the 049 support lower devices: smaller size of HARD drive and graphics card external memory.
    But both cards are not shared-memory graphics cards. It s an external memory.

    In case you I would choose the satellite 998. It seems that this laptop supports the best performance from your hardware.

  • Your opinion about Satellite L350-170

    Hello

    I ve been looking at this laptop for a few days now and I m thinking go for it when I get my pay.
    I just want to know if someone there what they think of him. What's the life of the battery as etc.

    Congratulations in advance :)

    Hello

    I use Toshiba laptops for long time now and to be honest I don't like the L series laptops. The notebooks are OK, but I don't like the design. This negative one s for me

    I must also say that quality-price ratio for this laptop is great, but I prefer to improve the design and because of this, I have my second Satellite phone.
    Back to Satellite L350-170. I don't know how much it costs, but for that money, you will get excellent laptop with great 17 inch screen and it is perfect for every working day.
    There is also a webcam with built-in microphone allowing you a perfect by Skype and other messengers communication.
    For the life of the battery is not possible to provide the exact duration, but it is similar to my Satellite and I can work on 1.5 hours of battery power. But to be honest, this laptop is for me although permanent replacement and Office to work on the desktop with AC power supply.
    OK all of us have different opinions on this subject.

    So the question is who would you need the laptop. You want to upgrade the RAM and so on (you can improve it up to 4 GB)?
    Talk about this with your local dealer.

  • Need your opinion on Qosmio F20-153

    Hello

    I'm considering buying a QOSMIO F20-153 and I was wondering if anyone knew if the Sims 2 are played on this subject, because graphics cards cannot play. And also, as it has Microsoft Media center as the operating system, Access and Excel come from on this?

    Hello

    Well, the Qosmio is a very nice unit with a very high performance.
    Laptops generally use different graphics drivers like the desktop PC.
    The adapters that are installed in laptops are a little different than the graphics in desktop computers.
    In this case specifications manufacturers recommend in graphic form drivers for laptop manufacturers Web sites.
    These drivers are sometimes not up-to-date and sometimes newer games need new graphics drivers.
    In my opinion, if someone needs a unit to play ONLY games at the best way to use the desktop. These units are also easier to upgrade equipment.

    Toshiba laptops, Microsoft office is not preinstalled on computers. If you want to use it, you must purchase applications.

  • Your opinion about Satellite A100-906

    I'm about to buy.
    Anyone can recommend?

    I personally interested in the life of its graphics and battery.

    I do have problems with Go7600 overheat?
    If she is underclocked?
    No problem with the CD/DVD-ROM?

    The laptop seems to be not not bad.
    To my knowledge, it has been bundled with Intel Core Duo (Yonah) T2400 1.83 GHz CPU and nVIDIA GeForce Go7600 FX card supports 256 MB graphic memory. It is not a shared memory!
    You ask for chart overheat? I do not have this kind of problems. As far as I know the Toshiba own graphics drivers are supported an option against the overheating of the graphics card.

    But it seems that it is not always possible to install the drivers of different graphics on laptops. Therefore, it would be possible that you will not get the latest graphics driver. It is sometimes a little boring because new computer need especially games the latest drivers graphics card.

    However, the duration of battery life depends on the use of the laptop and it is not easy to tell the exact time. The laptop must support a DVD player - Super Multi (+ R) double layer.
    I read that sometimes readers can't burn CDs or DVDs, but in my opinion every media is compatible and therefore these problems occur.

  • Need your opinion on Equium A100-147

    IM thinking about purchasing one of them and I was wondering what others thought of him. It looks like great value at £500. the machine will also be able to upgrade to windows Vista premium edition?

    Hello Mark

    In my opinion, because this money, the unit is very nice but he should know very well what you expect of your laptop and what you want to do with it. For all day use the device is perfect, but if you want some high graphic performance I believe it is the right one.

    On this forum, I noticed many buy units with the hardware configuration users fairly even and later to upgrade CPU, graphics card, HARD drive put an end to their efforts. I think that you should from the outset be sure that what you have and buy the right unit.

    Please check with the dealer if the unit has label Vista capable. If yes the Vista installation will not be problem.

    Someone at - it what model or able to give comments about it. It seems a reasonable price for its construction. 729 what other i5 17 inches could I get with the dedicated graphics card

    Thank you
    Geoff

    Hi Geoff,

    I have put this model in front of me, but I tested a bit in my favorite and checked computer store the plug on the site Web of Toshiba.

    It s great computer laptop for applications such as office, emails, photos, music, Internet, etc. 17-inch screen is large and perfect for Blu - ray and other videos. Also it s comfortable to work on it. With the second generation of Intel Core processors it of Nice to work because it has good performance. In addition, it has speakers Onkyo.

    The preinstalled version of Windows 7 offers a few nice applications like Eco Utility, which helps save energy and improves the life of the battery, anti-virus program, burning, and other tools are already preinstalled. So it s really read to use.

    Other Toshiba C670 and P770 models have 17 display too.
