Hi all,
I was googling for some Toshiba info and I found this useful forum.
I am using Toshiba M100 which is around 5 years old, still functioning but...
1. The screen cannot be pressured or the wiring inside will go off place and turn the whole screen into red or black out.
2. The wifi system also got prob, it hang after disconnection. so I was using LAN card before it got fired during a lightning strike, and now the internet access is depended on a USB external wifi.
3. The DVD drive is growling at me everytime I read something using it, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Since Toshiba is among the best of value and quality laptop in the market, I am seeking help from all gurus on which one should I get?

My requirements are:
Budget: RM 2-3.5 k
Processor: preferrably i5. i3 or i7 should be ok.
Good audio and graphic.
Long battery life.
with or without DVD drive is fine with me. (preferably without, can cut cost and weight, i can use my external DVD drive)

I mainly need to use it for a genetics analysis software called MEGA, it is compatible with most system but it will slow down when processing large amount of data.

another reason is, I wish to play the Sims 3 using PC/laptop. =P my toshiba M100 can install it but it will crash not long after loading the game.

I was eyeing on the toshiba Libretto W100 also, can I get any review?

Sorry for the lengthy essay. >_< really appreciate your help.

thankius!

Hi~

Thank you for replying~

The few lappy you recommended, all above 2.8k de wor... no option for below 2.5k?

The main consideration is still the performance and battery life.

Haha~ from the 2nd line of your reply, I know you should be a science person. XD
I 've just finished my undergrad in Genetics (UM), now finding for jobs and scholarships (measuring floor)
May I ask what is your path after graduation? I can use a reference. =P

haha~ just wanna broaden the range, but now i better save up for my panasonic lumix camera. XD and lappy below 3k is still consider good performance.

Lenovo V470~ looking good, is the review ok? Why will you suggest this one for analysis program? Any special features as compared to Toshiba?

I need something that can last long, I've experience many products with auto-malfunction after warranty built-in system. My hope is to find something that can last me for minimum 5 years. XD

whoa~ you're taking Bright Sparks, so you are a 1st class. All the best with publishing papers. >_< You working in IPS now?

okok~ Thank you very much pseudo-senior~ =P

Will keep lenovo in my consideration. =)

I am also in IPS. XD hahaha~ shall let you get back to work. gambate! =)

I sure will. thanks.
