If not mistaken call TeleDynamics but after couple weeks..

Correct!
It will take some time before your laptop purchase is registered, around 2 weeks or so

thanks for the advice, will call Tele Dynamics probably end of this month.

I just noticed that my unit comes with 2 USB ports ...... where got enough ?

The E-SATA combo port can also connect USB 1

thanks bro, you are very helpful !

No prob. Bro, you may want to burn your 4 recovery DVDs o
And you may want to convert to 64-bit OS (if not already) before you really start using your lappy

hihi.. my laptop in my sig, can use other program to backup? i using EASUS Todo Backup Home.. thanks

Hmm, nice laptop bro, not much ppl know of this model
i3-380M+ ATI 5650@RM2.3k right?
Err... there should be a "Recovery Media Creator" at your desktop, you can use that to automatic backup everything including the data within the hidden partition
I assume you're into gaming with those kind of specs? Better convert to 64-bits system bro

i got it for rm2.2k without free gift and when i bought it, i told the guy to change it to 64 bit already.. .. if i dont use 'recovery media creator' and just use the one i'm using still can right? i usually just backup my OS oni.. data got another copy in external hard drive..

You can use other 3rd party backup software...

I just changed the internal speaker, Cleaned the Heatsink, and paint the body of my Toshiba Satellite M100..

Old Lappie..But Hard Core Enough...

Just got Toshiba T230-1013 yesterday.
Got it for RM1899 + 2G ram (rm70), FOC some itmes (mouse, fan cooler).

So far, very happy with it. W7HP boots up <1min, no noticeable fan noise. keyboard no problem, just need to get use to the 'Home' 'PGUP' buttons at the right side.

Apparently, it comes with MS Word & Excel Starter version.

Battery life so far ok. Was using is for about 3-4 hours online, installing Chrome, setting up the files needed. Single charge, till now still have 40% left.

Weight wise ~1.7kg, i think it's light! Not comparing to MBA or Lenovo U260.

Screen, not issue so far, can view quite clearly from odd angles (like from table top level height). Yet to watch any movies yet, so can comment on tat & sound.

MS Word load up quite fast also.

also no heat detected on both side of the mouse pad area. slight heat on the left side near the windows button.

Need 2 hands to open the lid, not tight so not a problem.

Added on February 14, 2011, 10:35 pmGrats on your purchase bro
Registered your 1st year international warranty at Toshiba's website already?
Backed up recovery discs/pendrive already?
What's the type of OS? 32-bit or 64-bit? If you have 4GB RAM then its better to convert to 64-bit for faster performance

The T230 is actually a very nice lappy (as long as you're okay with the super sticker-like shiny materials haha) But its supposed to be fingerprint/dust resistant, a huge improvement from the previous T130
Feel free to a review your lappy and share with us ya

Registered already.
Backup not done yet. How to do that?

yeah, a sifu gave me hint to convert to 64-bit. Done that.

not even test the bundled ext dvd drive yet. Windows was busy updating itself.

Tested a movie, looks good. speaker volume surprisingly loud, only at 35% already loud enough for my wife to complain as she was on the phone 8ft away.

There should be a "Recovery Media Creator" on your desktop, just use it with your external DVD drive attached. Or you can choose to backup in a pendrive/ external HDD as well

Good thing its 64-bit, noneed headache later hehe

Wah, I thought the speakers are quite small, good to hear that its loud enough, how about audio quality?
Toshiba speakers are usually not very bad one, even for normal ones

will try to test the speaker tomorrow morning. too late to test it tonite. going to bed

Haha, I understand~ Later get scolded
Good night ~

Got free 2GB RAM upgrade for that price?
