Why in Malaysia it comes with 32?

This is BolehLand ma
The Toshiba Global technician refused to believe me when I said the laptops here come with 32-bit systems

LOL, where you met a Global Technician wor?
That Technician must be thinking , are you crazy? We have been using 64bits for so long already and you're telling us that Toshiba laptop in Malaysia only come with 32 bit? I cant believe Bolehland indeed so Boleh !

I called them

Where you get that number? And the number belong to which country? *curious*

"Toshiba Global" You can find the number in brochures

I see. That day i went to lowyat ask few Toshiba store for brochures and all of them said don't have. Dunno how they do their business

Anyway, so far my laptop don't have any problem.

Got problem, you cannot fully utilize your RAM

You're the 1 who ask me dun change the bits 1st. I think i will gonna send it back to the PC shop ask them to change for me , to prevent any error.
So far all the game can play?

LOL... Maybe still got problem after changing to 64-bits.... just that I din't notice only.... so there's still risks... Noneed send to PC shop kua.... waste money only, do it yourself la, its very simple only.
All games sure can play la.... other laptop brands all come with 64-bit Windows 1 ar

i see. Need to reformat mah.. now i worry all my games gone >.< even the games not gone , the data gone =.=ll

I had registered my warranty on last friday, my L645 got free extended warranty up to 3 years, but how come last night when i checked on net, it stated extended warranty is not exist, and the warranty expired date falls on next year, is it need to wait them to update? since it said will spent 3 working days to process.

You covert from 32-bit to 64-bit W7, regardless of doing that yourself or handing your laptop to the shop technicians, your data will all be gone either way haha
Backup la

Call Teledynamics to check the warranty status after 1-2 weeks to confirm the validity

any t210 users can vouch for the laptop? build quality & battery life as good as teh reviews?

thanks

Hi again The T210 is quite new and so far I haven't heard of anyone from this thread getting it...
There are a lot of T210 on display, can go and have good look/feel at them
I've used a T110 before (the predecessor)... its very well built and the performance is very good (SU4100 processor).. the glossiness is the biggest set back for the Portege T110.
The T210 uses a very different material for the surface and are less prone to dust/fingerprints... but the looks is unique... some like it some don't...
The chiclet keyboard is a real Plus too...
The U5400 is more powerful than the SU4100, so performance shouldn't be a problem

Get your warranty extension for 2nd and 3rd year here: http://www.celebratewithtoshiba.com/ (sorry for reposting) haha You can also participate in the lucky draw competition there

Oh ya! Do remember to insist on loading the 64-bit Windows 7 during 1st startup, very very important!!

I got Toshiba Satellite L505 for sale, anyone interested?

I think I've seen this model of laptop in lowyat plaza top floor before. I wonder why its not in the official brochures... at the price offered, its not bad at all

Hi, i am planning to get Toshiba Qosmio F60-S531.
And here i have a few questions to ask.

* How is the build for this laptop ? Is there any parts that will spoilt easily ?
* How about the heat sink for the laptop ? Does it produce a lot of heat ? Does it get overheated very easily ?
* Of all the Toshiba user here do you guys get a lot of hardware problem ? Like, LCD flickering ? or Overheating ? faulty HDD ? etc etc ?
* How exactly does the warranty works ? I get 1 year warranty and i have to register online to activate the 1 year warranty ? If i wan to extend i have to be there in person to Teledynamics ? Or i can just call them ?
* It's running on i3-350m which is 2.26Ghz and using GT 330m, I am worried that the processing power isnt strong enough for me or to last for upcoming softwares in 2 years time.
* All information i can find about it's HDD is only 500GB with shock absorbers. Does anyone here know if it's running on 5400rpm or 7200rpm ?
* How is the sound quality of the Harmon Kardon speaker ? I am not expecting super powerful speaker, it just needs to be decent, not too soft, and balanced overall. Is it so ?

I think i asked too many questions here but it's a investment for me as i am gonna put in money and use it for quite sometime.

Thanks in advance for answering my doubts. Very much appreciated.

Wah.... still got people interested in the Qosmio F60 ar haha... I'm abit surprised.
First of all, if you are planning to game alot on this laptop then there's a lot of better options out there which you should consider.
The Qosmio F60 is mainly for multimedia usage

To answer your questions:
* Its a Qosmio, you can expect the best haha Still, due to its slim-type design, the area around the optical drive is rather weak. The screen is attached to the base of the laptop by a single hinge (apparently ), because of that, the screen will wobble if you are too harsh at typing.

* Heat sinks? I would like to think that this laptop has the most heat sinks around. Refer pic below of my Qosmio F60:

Due to the large amounts of heat sinks, the Qosmio F60 works wonderfully with the Cooler Master NotePal series cooler pads. The F60-S531 runs on an i3 summore, so it won't be very heaty.

* I've used 4 Toshiba laptops before. They are known for their reliability. Still, sometimes it depends on luck as well as how well you take care of your laptop. I think Toshiba has more software incompatibility problems than hardware problems

* Once you buy your laptop. You need to go to their website and register for the free 1 year international warranty. If you want to extend your warranty to 2 or 3 years, you can either ask the shop people to handle it for you; or you can go to Teledynamics to do it yourself (way faster). But do take note that there's a Toshiba event lately which gives away free 2nd and 3rd year local warranty (worth RM299 for normal Toshiba; RM499 for Qosmios). You might want to take a look into that if you decided to buy a Toshiba laptop.

* Yeah, the processor is weak. Some more the laptop will be initially running on a 32-bit system meaning you cannot fully utilize the RAM. Need to switched to 64-bits.

* 5400rpm

* You can expect the best from harman/kardon speakers. The speakers are the best feature for the Qosmio F60 apart from the looks. At 50% volume you will feel that its too loud already LOL The quality is simply superb! You should try it out on a display unit then you'll be surprised!

So all in all, better get an Asus N-series laptop haha ... they are smaller, and more powerful but more expensive abit

Wow...thanks for the effort to reply to my questions, thanks so much.


Hmm ? Why are you suprised that there are people interested in Qosmio F60 ?
I cant afford any more than this 1 actually. But from what i see there are a few models from Asus that have better specs than F60-S531 and even cheaper. Well it uses better processor (i5-460m) but weaker graphics (GeForce 310m). It's just that i'm worried Asus might not be long lasting as Toshiba do and i am very very concerned about overheating cause my previous laptop suffered badly from overheating and lousy hardware.
How about Toshiba vs Dell ? If compared Dell with Toshiba ? What's your opinion ?
