I've introduced 3 Toshiba L510 laptops for my friends, good to say that so far no problems  nod.gif
However do take note that how you use your laptop will affect its performances. For instance, if you do not provide sufficient aeration/ cooling for your laptop during intense gaming, hardwares may burn. This is applicable to all brands of laptops, especially gaming ones. Apart from physical stress, heat is the main enemy of laptops  icon_rolleyes.gif

Which L510 model are you interested in? There are some models which offer free 2nd, 3rd year warranty as well as free RAM upgrades  laugh.gif

Hmmm, good choices  nod.gif
My friend owns a L510-S4318B while my gf owns a M500-S433. The main differences between this 2 laptops are:
1. The processor. i3-330M in L510; i5-430M in M500. i5> i3
2. Graphic card. ATI HD5145 in L510; G310M in M500. G310M> ATI5145
3. Speakers. Standard speakers in L510; harman/kardon speakers in M500. Very very very big difference  laugh.gif
4. Surface buttons. Normal buttons on L510; feather touch buttons on M500.
5. Built quality. M500 is significantly more solid than L510.
6. Fingerprint reader and smartface technology on M500. Not much use though haha XD

Both laptops will meet your requirements, with the L510 only suitable for light games whereas the M500 can support moderate- graphic games  icon_rolleyes.gif
I've no problems with Toshiba laptops so far but still it depends on how good you take care of it and a little bit of luck  nod.gif

If budget isn't a problem, I would choose the M500 not only because of  the specs, but also because of the solid build. (Local warranty extension to 3 years = RM439)
There is currently a promotion for the L510- S4318B though. Free 2GB DDR3 RAM and an extra 2nd year local warranty (perhaps still got other extra promotions during PC Fair). So local warranty extension to 3 years will be RM299

Hope you get to choose the best one  icon_rolleyes.gif

i think i'll go for L510 due to tight budget. I saw the pc fair promotion which free for 2nd year warranty costs rm199, if so i just top up another rm100 for 3rd year warranty?

My cousin just bought one L510-S4318B. Yes it comes with free 2nd year local warranty (1st one is international warranty). In order to extend to 3 years local warranty, need RM199 (that's what the salesman said) hehe  nod.gif

Wah, I din't noticed there's a PC Health Check program on my system, just enabled it  rclxub.gif
