^ naice review hehe, where is photos laugh.gif
Seriously Toshiba keyboard and touchpads are rather impressive nod.gif
The keyboard may be glossy and different in terms of design, but the typing can be very accurate and fast once you get the hang of it thumbup.gif

Hey TS, finally a review on this notebook.

I'm seriously considering this notebook or the slightly more expensive version of it. L745-1051XB.

I'm just worried about Toshiba as a brand and its durability. Did you take that into consideration when you decided to buy this?

Toshiba has always been famous for its durability tongue.gif

dell got good b4 like old days meh?  shakehead.gif

dell good is when i din use or buy it.. since i bought it.. not good with the issue is fan problem & design of heat-sink..
the rest is awesome with hdd 7.2k rpm momentus, samsung lcd hd ready, 1333mhz ram & adapter is better than other brand of lappy offer, bloatware is better & simple, able to change laptop skin color, etc..

Yes, Dell Inspirons 6400 was one of the best laptops I've ever seen... Alot of my colleagues are still using them (including my gf)... But things changed after the introduction of the crappy Inspiron 1420s...
Inspiron and Inspiron Rs are considered better already laugh.gif

Bro, I think you should try other brands, I don't think you'd be impressed with them as well laugh.gif

heat issue. but not really a problem when you play under huge room fan. i guess the temperature is acceptable la. can play cod2 with max setting without lag at all. starcraft 2 optimal setting also no lag. this thing is wonderful.  brows.gif

bro, this i3 got 4 core kah?? it appears to have 4 different cpu with same 2.0ghz speed running simultaneously. correct ah?  hmm.gif
*
Bro, mind sharing some temperature tests? It'll be very useful since we hardly find any L645/L745 reviews out there sad.gif
You can try "Open Hardware Monitor" , especially for laptops with Nvidia Optimus (The L745 has it right?)

i3 has 2 cores, 4 threads. Only difference between the i3 and i5 is the lack of turbo boost

I downloaded the nVIDIA driver from Toshiba but the isntaller says my version is already up to date. I downloaded the one from nvidia and it says "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardwareblink.gif  rclxub.gif

Anyway just re-installed the flash plugin v11 as per the link by lee_what2004, am restarting now to see if there is any difference....

I have this problem as well...
Most ppl turned to modded files instead laugh.gif

Darn, I kind of miss my previous Toshiba keyboard (which is also used in the current L745)... even though they're glossy, the letterings are different and the layout is weird, the typing feel is there... wub.gif
Not sure whether its my typing posture, but I can't seem to bit my Typing Maniac score on the M14x vmad.gif

i thought m14x is killer already? Still got some downside huh. tongue.gif

As mentioned, I'm not sure whether its because of my typing posture... but the keys on the M14x seemed abit farther from one another than usual... the layout is like that possibly because them users in the US has larger hands? laugh.gif
Just a guess... You've used the Toshiba keyboard right? At 1st it feels weird to use, but after some time, it rocks... typing was like..... so easy laugh.gif
