The 1-to-1 exchange is with the shop, not Teledynamics
If there is a problem, you just have to demand for a new one... not send to Teledynamics

now only i know W7 32bit can only use 4G RAM max
so my free 8G upgrade is totally useless

after the GPU 1GB ram reserved, my system only have 2.74G usable ram show in system properties

and with just firefox running now, my L755 already constantly using 1.3G, about 50% of my ram...
is this normal?

Yeap, all Toshiba units come with W7 32-bit at 1st (well, most sellers will choose to startup W7 with 32-bit to save time during purchasing)....
Usually its less than 3GB RAM (mine was 2.98GB) usable for a 32-bit system...

Still, no worries since you can still change your windows version to 64-bit yo

The protocol (written by me, a long time ago) is here

yup, the salesman actually asking me want a 32bit or 64bit
but i was worry about any software or program doesnt work with 64bit yet so i choose 32bit

so far u encounter any software not work with 64bit?
think i'll go for 64bit else the extra 4G ram will just slp inside my L755...

anyway is it normal that my laptop using 1.3G ram with just firefox running?

Yup, been the shop first, but the seller still they insist me to send to service centre diagnose first only decide whether to exchange to me...is that the normal procedure? Got no choice, the laptop have been send in for the toshiba technician to check, if the retail shop don't exchange for me, sure I will complaint the shop (fosa marketing)...what a bad luck for me coz this is the first laptop I buy...

Yeah, that was what they always say
They said the same thing to me when I've purchased my Toshiba Qosmio F60 more than 1.5 years ago
Software incompatibilities will not be a big problem (C'mon Toshiba, all the other brands are running on 64-bit Windows anyway)
But you should take note if the programs you used are less popular- specific programs used in Bioinformatics, Engineering etc.

Nope, I'm not having any incompatibilities issues at all after converting to 64-bit

Added on April 21, 2012, 7:27 pmNope, that is not the normal procedure.... by the time Teledynamics finished checking your laptop, they'll probably say the that you cannot change anymore
By right you can just change on the spot if there's stock

Hi all,

I just bought a Toshiba Qosmio X770-1004x and very happy with it and the retailer was very professional with a one to one change as the first one I took home had a power issue where the unit kept turning off by itself .

To be honest I bought this out of consideration over the asus Game planet with allmost the same specs but have higher price of another 500 ringgit..
this was on offer of 5499 with a free 3D specs and a Siberan V2 headset


And I had the same concern as I was upgrading the unit from a x775 .

This unit has a very hot side exhaust(only complain) ..after playing graphics extensive game..but the 3D is awesome coz I run a samsung43" 3d plazma and also a HTC evo 3d phone...and the glasses do not flicker like my samsung TV and its much brighter due to the led display I guess.

Last but not least I would like to thank the people at Evernew for being very professional in handling my case ,Thanks Terence if you ever happen to read this.

Oh yeah als o thank to teledynamics sales for explaning the difference the glassless 3D and this model.

Added on April 24, 2012, 6:44 pmsame problem here when I bought from vendor at digital mall/evernew my x770 keeps on shut down and was diagnosed by thier tech's as motherboard problem and was chanegd one on one the next day when toshiba delivered the stock.

I think you need to encourage your reseller to do it for you or go straight to Teledynamics and explain your situation and have a proper answer from thier tech's as this is already a common problem base on the replys on this thread.

thier laptops are rated as second most reliable compared to asus in IDC report. so you dont have to worry as the Japs are always reliable.


Woof woof

thanks for the input!
yeah actually i concerned about Solidworks i using but after that i found out my Solidworks installation actually come with 32bit and 64bit version to choose from
so no issue right now, will do it this weekend!

ya still the same question, Win7 startup using 1GB of ram, normal?
i see my old XP, only 300mb+

normal la.. mine startup and idle around 1.3-1.5gb ram used depends on wat u hv open since startup

Hey guys! Some site tells me that toshibas laptops are international warrantied but the site I would like to get from said toshiba limited warranty

So I was wondering if I should import the laptop since its much cheaper in US compared to Malaysia

If there's no international warranty are the repairs expensive? What I heard about toshibas laptop is that they are reliable and build to last..

So far I've been using dells laptops and desktop and thinking of changing

Yeah, apparently certain laptops only come with regional warranty as stock

Just wondering, how come you want international warranty?
Basically it depends on models, certain models come with 3 years international warranty as standard o.... otherwise you could also opt for local/ international warranty extension (at a price of course )

In general, Toshiba units are quite reliable and nicely built, however should any problems occur, fixing might take up to 2 months depending on severity of the issue. On the other hand, if covered, Dell's on-site warranty enables you to fix your laptop within 1-2 working days which is a huge plus- saves a lot of time

Ahh I see.. Cause Ill be buying from the US and it is much cheaper than Malaysia.. if its internationally warrantied than i do not have to worry about other things!

Still deciding! Thinking of getting the Qosmio X775 series

Thanks alot PF!

You should check with Teledynamics Msia. Give them a call.

However, im expecting them to say "NO WARRANTY FOR PARALLEL IMPORT", in this case you said you will have official receipt from the US purchase, and the warranty terms implied that you do get international warranty.

However, check your source in US if its official reseller in US for Toshiba

Yup, Toshibas laptop are reliable and build to last..
If you know how to get/buy/import the US model laptop from US, than why not...since its much cheaper compared to Malaysia Toshiba model laptop.
Me tried to buy Toshiba laptop online from Amazon but was rejected.

For international warranty -> http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su...sp?nav=Warranty

thank you yuyuyu!!

Added on May 11, 2012, 11:37 amThank you!!!

Ahhh.. Im deciding to get it from this site

http://www.adorama.com/TOX775Q7384.html

I believe its not a grey import. They are reputable in the States for selling photography equipment and have expended to many electronic stuff too! But unfortunately they only ship within the United States.

Apparently their competitor ships internationally!

Shipping fee is 135 USD thou.. But Laptops are fragile

I just bought an US model Toshiba P775-S7160 17.3-Inch Laptop here in KL.
There are people here able to import the US model laptop and sale it here at higher price to obtain high profit.
Don't ask me where I bought this laptop and how much, I can't reveal it here nor PM anyone the information.

I'm not worry about the warranty, so far the laptop working fine...no problem at all.

There is no problem buying parallel import... but the user/buyer have to know that if problem with the laptop, most probably would not get warranty even though there is international warranty. Thats the risk buyer have to aware/take, for buying cheaper than retail. However after a year (or warranty ends), all laptop are the same lol

So if i lost my recovery discs, i can just use the hidden partition to recover my computer? because i want to change the OS from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit. please reply ASAP, thank you

anybody here tried the toshiba satellite p850/p855?

You could always burn the recovery discs again
If your laptop has never been clean reformatted before, then yes, the recovery partition should still be in your laptop and you can use the methods mentioned to change from 32-bit to 64-bit
