as you know.. I don't know.. I doubt Toshiba is the most popular lappie in M'sia...

Ok, maybe I should rephrase to : One of the Most Popular....Satisfy?

sorry kacau.. I am not qualify here... hehehe..

I have several complaints about Toshi laptops, in particular the M40 model:

1. Odd position of keyboard keys, for eg. the "~", "Del" and a missing "Ctrl"
2. Bad quality of speakers, although branded as Harman/Kardon..
3. Noisy harddisk (i don't know wht brand of HDD is tht) used, can hear the small "tick tick" sound when the harddisk LED blinks
4. Loose LCD Display Latch, wtf, seems like a cheap toy compartment
5. Poor Digital Media Card door...It cannot be closed tightly!!! Again, what a cheap toy



R u all experiencing the same case?

let Acer lappie say something.

1. Acer lappie Keyboard almost identical to normal KB.. no big problem..
2.Acer speaker worst than ur..
3.My Seagate no sound at all oh...
4.my 5502 latch with some metal.. solid...
5. u mean card reader? my card reader slot no door!!!

hehehe.. sorry for kacau.. just sharing.. ..

Cyberkid, why didn't u take more time to test out the M40 b4 buying it? No use crying over spilled milk now...Furthermore, Satellite series don't use materials as good as other series such as Protege and Tecra, that's why they'ree cheaper...can't complaint la

nck_ck, r u using m40? facing the same problem wif me or not?

Nope, not using M40...in fact, not using any Toshiba laptops at the moment...but planning to get the Tecra M3 soon, unless there are better models coming out b4 the end of year...

It's not about what laptop u use, it's about giving ur laptop a really good test b4 u actually purchase it...so that u won't have problems when u take it home...also must make sure the seal was still on b4 the salesman open it to reveal the laptop.

Can Tosh PDA User join the club?

Sure, y not

hehe Toshiba E800 User here... i think i'm the only one that uses a Toshiba PDA here...

*ahem* I beg your pardon, i'm using e740 since year 2003

i using A-40 specs is P4 2.8 mobile 512 ram 64 mb intel extreme graphics

till now still strong can challenge centrino chips
good good very satisfied with my nb

woops.. you're the tailo here then... hehehehe nice to know some one is using Tosh PDA.. so how's our unit now?

hmm played wif tecra m3, s2 and satellite m50-p345... the tecras wif the nvidias... not really that impressive to me
the m50 does looks attractive

ran far cry on s2 and m50-p345, both @ 512MB, during the first level after opening the door, outdoor/nature scenery wif seas and everything.
tecra=laggy, sea not animated, just pure blue water, while the m50 shows better sea animation and looks nicer and smooth.

the settings i put to auto detect for both to be fair.
mebbe this is a bias game? wahaha and the more vram does make difference?
hmm no acer 5502(ATi x700 64MBvram) for me to test on.
mebbe next time i will test it wif a m40 w go6600128mb vram if i can get my hands on it

neway no screenshots, coz did that @ workplace

one thing, satellite A80 shares same housing/case wif tecra S2

duno why loh, i look @ and feel of the toshibas, even the satellite r10 which is supposedly wif mag case, hdd motion sensor, durability design blablabla.. i dun even dare to lift it up and try to throw it. i did that wif IBMS
toshibas seems so fragile IMO compared to IBMs

cheers. just my spamcents. ^^

p/s again these are just my opinions, based on/after playing wif few numbers and brands of notebooks. don't take it too seriously yah Toshiba fans.

U THREW an IBM laptop???????? I wouldn't even dare to put my laptop on the table with force also!!! ...

The Tecra M3 u tried was with GeForce 6200 64MB right? I was thinking of getting the one with GeForce 6600 128MB...

welp, IBM got APS wahahah, sumore they said R series stregthened by magnesium and T series is titanium, so just try ler

my colleague lagi best, spill water on the keyboard, then later let the water flow out again from the unit. wOOt!

yep the m3s are wif go 6200, m3 wif 6600 128mb? expensive IMO, but no chance yet to get muh hands on it. ^^
but if u have the money 2 spend y not rite?

cheers. just my spamcents.

Hi guys, I got a Satellite A80 with X300. Until now, I only have slight problem regarding with the dim light (the power on light)in front of the laptop. It has a weird keyboard layout though.

Hey sorry so long never post. In UK now. Liecteser City to be exact. Stardying to be loktor.

Anyways, my M40 no prob. Speakers if u complain are bad wait till u hear the acer or IBM ones. Almost non existent. I can still semi-blast mine so that my 2 other neoghbours in the room can complain! It's a laptop speaker. Although i have to say, my volume can't go up that high, about 40% and it resonates. Thing is, it's a laptop so dont expect too much.

Only REAL complain is it get QUITE warm... I mean warm now cuz it cold in UK but back at home for 2 weeks, i would sweat so much my mouse get slightly icky. Solved it wit a coolermaster usb coolerpad. Got 2 usb ports some more so solve my issues of lack of usb port.

Mycard reader a bit loose...my sister's one tight like heck. So i think its quality control issue here. HDD noisy meh? Maybe cuz i have a external HDD and a cooler pad running. Even when off i dont think its that loud but its all personel if u ask me.

ALl toshiba notebooks put their windows key on top and has some minor quirks...if u complaining u better come up to uk where they have their \ key at bottom left and they put their @ key near enter...Also they have a different Pound and Doller sign.

My LCD latch is fine. If hardware like loose stuff is an issue im sure u can go back and change it....except in some shops in low yat which i shant mention. I bought mine in ipoh so my dealers dont always get to sell 2 high end toshibas like this so they very nice to me...unlike in low yat

Hope this helps.

wah.. Dex is future loktor.. ...

Yeah.. If complaint about Toshiba speaker.. listen to Acer speaker..
I call it noise maker instead of speaker.. most of the time I use external speaker or headphone..

hehe, hopefully la. Got super big exam in January. Sadness, cannot come back for Chinese New Year! 1st time no Chinese New Year for me.... Only back in august

Hmm.. anyone happen to use Protege M100 ?

any one using the cheap toshiba, A80-C431, with celeron-m ?

@Loktor Dex, after a week of usage and adaptation to my new Toshiba Satellite M40-P545, i have already get used to some of the functions and the keyboard layout...

Loose card reader door and latch issue is still bugging me .. Too bad~ This is juz QC problem leh..I wonder we can claim from the Toshiba distributor?

I also notice that the LCD screen looked a bit yellowish in colour if view from sideways huh? How about yours?
It looks quite weird although it is better visible than not..

Hmmm...seems to me that Satellite series nowadays aren't that good anymore...my fren bought a Satellite series a couple of years ago, laptop still very good condition...

I agree. Also, went back to try pushing my loose memory card cover and it DID go back in place! Was tight at start, after using in Malaysia for a week it was loose and now after using it in UK for a week and trying again to push it in, it's tight again. Had to press and slide.

Um, the screen looks fine actually for me. Try configuring the color. there are a few software that can correct them. Sorry cant think of any off my head now. Not at my laptop now. Using uni library net.

Man do i hate British keyboards. Stupid '@' and '~' keys are all around the place. ¬ is at the ` key....u guys better not complain yet about toshiba placements...wait till u check out the keyboard i have to use here in uni everyday.....

Oh, wats happening in ,malaysia these days? the haze still around ah?

No more haze la...it was gone long time ago...unless u mean the usual haze produced by our 'wonderful" buses and lorries

Didn't know British keyboards were slighty different...Dexeaur, where u studying?

Studying at foxes home town - Leicester City.
Ya memory card reader cover able to close cyberkid?

Dex & NCK.. hehehe.. both of u guy ask me about 5502.. eh.. 5502 dont have such problem oh.. hehehe but the memory slot on 5502 no cover one la.. hahaha..

NCK... Dex is Future Loktor oh.. dont play play ah..

Close is sure can 1...Juz the matter of loose...Dun feel SOLID laa...

Then, Dex, is ur screen looked Yellowish from the sideways before u use software to tweak it?

@BuFung, hahah, good la, make frens with him now, next time go find him do medical check-up for free...

Really cracking my head whether to get toshiba tecra M3 or Acer Ferrari 4005 now...

nck.. Toshiba sound good mah.. go toshiba lor.. frank.. I dont like Ferarri Design.. but the built quality is there la.. surrounding the keyboard like rubber... cover is Carbon Fiber..

@BuFung, i know la the quality is there, in fact the reason why i wanna buy it is because of built quality also...let's say i get the 2.0ghz version with X700 128mb, it's rm7999...but the Tecra M3 1.73 with GeForce 6200 64mb already rm7499, if want with 6600 128mb pulak the models all only combo drive, can't burn dvd and almost rm8k, plus if wanna upgrade to dvd burner warranty will void...if compare specs Acer Ferrari win la, but portability goes to Toshiba.

@nck.. portability 5502 win.. hahahaha....
DVD burner.. got ah...
x700 also wat..
hehehe...

No la.. 5502 for poor people like me.. hehehe..

Hahah, BuFung, now only wanna promote your 5502 ah? Last time got 1 guy here wondering whether wanna buy 5502 or u didn't recommend, hehehe! Told u b4 i don't like wide screen laptop mah...

@nck.. ya hor.. ok ok ok... no 5502... hahhaha..

Another thing i'd wanna know about the Acer Ferrari is their laptop speaker also...since u said ur 5502 speakers very cacat, hopefully not the same with Acer Ferrari la

Hey guys wanna ask u something.. M40 rite.. u guys try open a mp3 song... then u open ur msn... then when u nudge..or being nudged .. the speaker suddenly got louder compared to the initial volume as in the mp3 will be LOUDER without adjusting your volume.. do u guys have this prob??

@nck.. I see the speaker Lubang is the same.. so dont expect much from Ferarri.. maybe can ask those Sifu in Ferrari thread..

external la..

Hahah, BuFung, i think when i'm gonna go buy laptop we should meet up lar, u can help me test it "kao kao",

@nck.. oi meh... tel u a secret.. I order my 5502 without testing it ah.. because I bought direct from distributor... hehhe... but I do try out 5502 in shop lah..

Um, actually so long u tested before its ok. cuz when they send u it cans till be faulty one.. so long u happy with the build and the layout as well as the other physical aspects of it, then no problem. i also didnt get to really try out my M40. just read loads of reviews. But i did see the screen and hear the sound of the older m30's and tot, wa the old version alsoso good the new one should be better.

@BuFung, u buy direct from distributor can get cheaper ah? Do u know if they got sell Acer Ferrari?

So Dexeaur, is the M40 screen better than M30?

@nck.. u wan me to get for u... tak mau la.. because I donno how to do those 3 years warranty things for u...

and properbly only can earn RM40-RM50 from u.. tak mau la..

covered my little sister with transparent plastic 2 avoid itchy hands
game tried so far ....far cry with high & very high setting,nfsu with high setting & doom 3 demo

hi, guys, i have a Toshiba A80 P440, which i think is quite good!

who say the harmon/kardon speaker bad? i think Toshiba's speaker quite good wat? have you test the SRS virtual sound? it sounds great!

actually, i buy this notebook under my expectation...i actually expect for high-end specs...like 128MB of GC, 1G of RAM and 80GB of harddisk.....

what specs you all have?

i am thinking of upgrading my notebook...dunno can or not...
don't satisfy with the RAM, only support DDR1!!! not DDR2!!! this is very unworthy since it use i915PM chipset!!!

and about the ATI X300 64MB, do you think is it enough for high-end 3d rendering? it's SLOW!! not really suit with the proc 1.73...i think the proc can cope with more high-end gc...i am going to ask them, can they upgrade that to X700 128mb or not...

hm...about the HD, it's quite nice!! if you use Everest to check out, it's a Toshiba Harddisk with 16MB of buffer!! i call the toll-free to ask for buying the same toshiba harddisk which is 80GB, they told me that they have to order it from Japan!! and it will cost me 1000++!!!!!

oh ya, they say this 16MB harddisk is so call Class A harddisk!!!! but, i have only 40GB!!

overall, i could say Toshiba Satellite A80 P440 is a good model and a good lappie, which is quite perfect.....^.^

Toshiba RULEZ!!!

CooKies37, nobody said the Harman/Kardon speakers on ALL Toshiba laptops are bad, it's just certain models which had dissapointing quality.

BuFung, we continue our Acer talk in the Acer Ferrari thread la...

which distributor?
mind telling me?

@8431, how much u selling the laptops on your siggy?
