Hi everyone.

I am planning to buy a Toshiba Laptop..keen on performance and speed, I will be using it for animation, 3d designing ..my budget is rm 4000 or less... which model would be better? Since, I will be using it for some programming purpose also, I don't prefer AMD.

Is Toshiba better than Asus?

I am always used to my office PC - HP . So, not sure which laptop to go for.

Thanks,
Alagu

Thanks for your reply.

However, i have tried to register tele dynamics service pack registration at : http://www.teledynamics.com.my/support/warranty

But it seems to be failed:



Is it a must for this registration as a prerequisite for teledynamics for the repair services?

No need, your laptop is already covered

which means I can approach the Teledynamics Penang branch and i am entitled to the warranty for my spoiled battery?

I cannot confirm that the battery is covered in warranty.. best you give them a call and check

I have just called them up, and battery is under 1 year warranty only, unfortunately!

Asking about the price for purchase of a new battery, it is about RM400 for the genuine !! Dam expensive! =.=

since i will be needing the battery for temporarily period of time while in overseas, should I just purchase the non-genuine one which could maybe last for 2-3months?

I don't know about the price for non genuine one , perhaps, u could enlighten?

hey guy is the toshiba m840 with i7-3612QM ivy bridge, 4gb ddr3 ram, 750gb sata, raedon hd 7670m 2gb vm, w7hp good for gaming??

hye there..
i bought Toshiba L850 1007XW early of this month.
everything just fine..really like it very much.
good performance this model for me compare to my old laptop.
i upgrade ram to 8gb. its bcoz of the offer frm the shops.

just wondering how to extend the warranty 2nd and 3rd yr..huhu
anybody can help?

Regarding the 2nd & 3rd year warranty, I saw from Toshiba brochure (Aug/Sep 2012 issue) stated that certain modern such as M840, L850-1007X, L840-1026X, etc has FREE 2nd & 3rd year Local Limited Warranty. However, I saw one forumer bought M840 recently from Harvey Norman but only covered by ONE year warranty (maybe the shop didn't tell him properly even if he is entitled to it). Who can confirm whether M840 has free extended warranty if purchase is made within Aug/Sep 2012?

hey... i hv P850...and ma startup to window fully opened is quite slow.
izit bloatware problems?

The default RAM which come with ur laptop is DDR3-1600, do u mind to check the additional RAM frequency ?

i think need to check with the seller and service centre for the warranty.
nobody experienced this case myb bcz its on the promotion date.
but on the service center web shows that i eligible to have the extended warranty..

Perhaps you can check this out
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/59084-35...shiba-satellite

They have listed down all these
1. toshiba face recognition
2. toshiba value added package
3. toshiba pc health monitor
4. toshiba disc creator
5. toshiba hardware setup
6. toshiba eco utility
7. toshiba recovery disc creator
8. toshiba internal modem region select utility
9. toshiba extended tiles for windows mobility center
10. toshiba agreement notification utility
11. toshiba flash cards support utility
12. toshiba quality application
13. toshiba service station
14. toshiba application and driver installer
15. toshiba web camera application
16. toshiba upgrade assistant
17. toshiba resources page
18. toshiba assist
19. toshiba software modem

I think no. 2 (function key shortcut),6 (battery profile),11 (card reader?) are necessary. no. 1,4 & 15 are optional. The rest are bullshit!

For my new Toshiba laptop, I just need to reformat it's harddisk and re-install Windows 7.
Than install only the essential driver like LAN, Sound, Video driver...etc
That will get rid off all the bloatware.

hi,, want to ask about toshiba..

1. Does q0smio have 14 inch size?
2. Qosmio is 4 gaming, wat about multimedia?
3. I'm interested in toshiba,can sifus rec0mmend me that have this criteria :
-i5/i7
-max 15inch
-nvdia(prefer 2gb)
-budget 4k max but if can below 3k
-usage of phtoshp,maya,ae n s0me gaming in med seting
thnks in advance..

1. Nope, Toshiba Qosmio are usually 15.6, 17.3 to 18.4" desktop replacements
2. Qosmio is for gaming and multimedia
3. The current 15.6" Qosmio lines are pretty outdated and haven't been refreshed to have Ivy Bridge yet...
You might want to consider the better Asus, Lenovo or MSI instead
Asus G55VW-S1095V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080)@3999, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W7HP

MSI GE60, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + Bluray@RM4199, 8GB, 1TB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, Free SteelSeries QCK Mass mousepad

thanks 4 the info,,,
n0 w0nder i end up n0thing after searching..
S0 sad..want toshiba t0 have spec like asus n len0v0..
My dad doesn't like len0v0 while asus service is scary..
Thanks again..

Well, you can try waiting if not buying in a hurry, they might just refresh the Qosmio F750 since its been outdated for quite some time already
If you cannot wait, then just go for the ones mentioned above...
Or these:
15.6"
Dell
Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional
Vostro 3560, i7-3612QM + AMD HD7670M + 32GB SSD + 750GB(7200rpm) HDD + (1920x1080)@RM3209[2.57kg], 8GB, W7HB; colors: red/silver/bronze

Hii...anyone can help me..
I know this is awkward but how i can get recovery disk for my laptop..
For ur information, i accidentally format the hdd together with the system recovery and without dvd recovery...
My laptop model is Toshiba Satellite L510...

^no other way unless you can get other owner to burn it for you,
but since you know how to install Windows, no need to care for the recovery disc..
