as you know.. I don't know.. I doubt Toshiba is the most popular lappie in M'sia...

Ok, maybe I should rephrase to : One of the Most Popular....Satisfy?

sorry kacau.. I am not qualify here... hehehe..

I have several complaints about Toshi laptops, in particular the M40 model:

1. Odd position of keyboard keys, for eg. the "~", "Del" and a missing "Ctrl"
2. Bad quality of speakers, although branded as Harman/Kardon..
3. Noisy harddisk (i don't know wht brand of HDD is tht) used, can hear the small "tick tick" sound when the harddisk LED blinks
4. Loose LCD Display Latch, wtf, seems like a cheap toy compartment
5. Poor Digital Media Card door...It cannot be closed tightly!!! Again, what a cheap toy



R u all experiencing the same case?

This post has been edited by cyberkid: Sep 3 2005, 01:22 PM

let Acer lappie say something.

1. Acer lappie Keyboard almost identical to normal KB.. no big problem..
2.Acer speaker worst than ur..
3.My Seagate no sound at all oh...
4.my 5502 latch with some metal.. solid...
5. u mean card reader? my card reader slot no door!!!

hehehe.. sorry for kacau.. just sharing.. ..

Cyberkid, why didn't u take more time to test out the M40 b4 buying it? No use crying over spilled milk now...Furthermore, Satellite series don't use materials as good as other series such as Protege and Tecra, that's why they'ree cheaper...can't complaint la

nck_ck, r u using m40? facing the same problem wif me or not?

Nope, not using M40...in fact, not using any Toshiba laptops at the moment...but planning to get the Tecra M3 soon, unless there are better models coming out b4 the end of year...

It's not about what laptop u use, it's about giving ur laptop a really good test b4 u actually purchase it...so that u won't have problems when u take it home...also must make sure the seal was still on b4 the salesman open it to reveal the laptop.

Can Tosh PDA User join the club?

Sure, y not

hehe Toshiba E800 User here... i think i'm the only one that uses a Toshiba PDA here...

*ahem* I beg your pardon, i'm using e740 since year 2003

i using A-40 specs is P4 2.8 mobile 512 ram 64 mb intel extreme graphics

till now still strong can challenge centrino chips
good good very satisfied with my nb

woops.. you're the tailo here then... hehehehe nice to know some one is using Tosh PDA.. so how's our unit now?

hmm played wif tecra m3, s2 and satellite m50-p345... the tecras wif the nvidias... not really that impressive to me
the m50 does looks attractive

ran far cry on s2 and m50-p345, both @ 512MB, during the first level after opening the door, outdoor/nature scenery wif seas and everything.
tecra=laggy, sea not animated, just pure blue water, while the m50 shows better sea animation and looks nicer and smooth.

the settings i put to auto detect for both to be fair.
mebbe this is a bias game? wahaha and the more vram does make difference?
hmm no acer 5502(ATi x700 64MBvram) for me to test on.
mebbe next time i will test it wif a m40 w go6600128mb vram if i can get my hands on it

neway no screenshots, coz did that @ workplace

one thing, satellite A80 shares same housing/case wif tecra S2

duno why loh, i look @ and feel of the toshibas, even the satellite r10 which is supposedly wif mag case, hdd motion sensor, durability design blablabla.. i dun even dare to lift it up and try to throw it. i did that wif IBMS
toshibas seems so fragile IMO compared to IBMs

cheers. just my spamcents. ^^

p/s again these are just my opinions, based on/after playing wif few numbers and brands of notebooks. don't take it too seriously yah Toshiba fans.

This post has been edited by 8431: Sep 5 2005, 02:34 AM

U THREW an IBM laptop???????? I wouldn't even dare to put my laptop on the table with force also!!! ...

The Tecra M3 u tried was with GeForce 6200 64MB right? I was thinking of getting the one with GeForce 6600 128MB...

welp, IBM got APS wahahah, sumore they said R series stregthened by magnesium and T series is titanium, so just try ler

my colleague lagi best, spill water on the keyboard, then later let the water flow out again from the unit. wOOt!

yep the m3s are wif go 6200, m3 wif 6600 128mb? expensive IMO, but no chance yet to get muh hands on it. ^^
but if u have the money 2 spend y not rite?

cheers. just my spamcents.

Hi guys, I got a Satellite A80 with X300. Until now, I only have slight problem regarding with the dim light (the power on light)in front of the laptop. It has a weird keyboard layout though.

Hey sorry so long never post. In UK now. Liecteser City to be exact. Stardying to be loktor.

Anyways, my M40 no prob. Speakers if u complain are bad wait till u hear the acer or IBM ones. Almost non existent. I can still semi-blast mine so that my 2 other neoghbours in the room can complain! It's a laptop speaker. Although i have to say, my volume can't go up that high, about 40% and it resonates. Thing is, it's a laptop so dont expect too much.

Only REAL complain is it get QUITE warm... I mean warm now cuz it cold in UK but back at home for 2 weeks, i would sweat so much my mouse get slightly icky. Solved it wit a coolermaster usb coolerpad. Got 2 usb ports some more so solve my issues of lack of usb port.

Mycard reader a bit loose...my sister's one tight like heck. So i think its quality control issue here. HDD noisy meh? Maybe cuz i have a external HDD and a cooler pad running. Even when off i dont think its that loud but its all personel if u ask me.

ALl toshiba notebooks put their windows key on top and has some minor quirks...if u complaining u better come up to uk where they have their \ key at bottom left and they put their @ key near enter...Also they have a different Pound and Doller sign.

My LCD latch is fine. If hardware like loose stuff is an issue im sure u can go back and change it....except in some shops in low yat which i shant mention. I bought mine in ipoh so my dealers dont always get to sell 2 high end toshibas like this so they very nice to me...unlike in low yat

Hope this helps.

wah.. Dex is future loktor.. ...

Yeah.. If complaint about Toshiba speaker.. listen to Acer speaker..
I call it noise maker instead of speaker.. most of the time I use external speaker or headphone..

hehe, hopefully la. Got super big exam in January. Sadness, cannot come back for Chinese New Year! 1st time no Chinese New Year for me.... Only back in august

Hmm.. anyone happen to use Protege M100 ?

any one using the cheap toshiba, A80-C431, with celeron-m ?

@Loktor Dex, after a week of usage and adaptation to my new Toshiba Satellite M40-P545, i have already get used to some of the functions and the keyboard layout...

Loose card reader door and latch issue is still bugging me .. Too bad~ This is juz QC problem leh..I wonder we can claim from the Toshiba distributor?

I also notice that the LCD screen looked a bit yellowish in colour if view from sideways huh? How about yours?
It looks quite weird although it is better visible than not..

This post has been edited by cyberkid: Sep 6 2005, 12:27 PM

Hmmm...seems to me that Satellite series nowadays aren't that good anymore...my fren bought a Satellite series a couple of years ago, laptop still very good condition...

I agree. Also, went back to try pushing my loose memory card cover and it DID go back in place! Was tight at start, after using in Malaysia for a week it was loose and now after using it in UK for a week and trying again to push it in, it's tight again. Had to press and slide.

Um, the screen looks fine actually for me. Try configuring the color. there are a few software that can correct them. Sorry cant think of any off my head now. Not at my laptop now. Using uni library net.

Man do i hate British keyboards. Stupid '@' and '~' keys are all around the place. ¬ is at the ` key....u guys better not complain yet about toshiba placements...wait till u check out the keyboard i have to use here in uni everyday.....

Oh, wats happening in ,malaysia these days? the haze still around ah?

No more haze la...it was gone long time ago...unless u mean the usual haze produced by our 'wonderful" buses and lorries

Didn't know British keyboards were slighty different...Dexeaur, where u studying?

Studying at foxes home town - Leicester City.
Ya memory card reader cover able to close cyberkid?

Dex & NCK.. hehehe.. both of u guy ask me about 5502.. eh.. 5502 dont have such problem oh.. hehehe but the memory slot on 5502 no cover one la.. hahaha..

NCK... Dex is Future Loktor oh.. dont play play ah..

Close is sure can 1...Juz the matter of loose...Dun feel SOLID laa...

Then, Dex, is ur screen looked Yellowish from the sideways before u use software to tweak it?

@BuFung, hahah, good la, make frens with him now, next time go find him do medical check-up for free...

Really cracking my head whether to get toshiba tecra M3 or Acer Ferrari 4005 now...

nck.. Toshiba sound good mah.. go toshiba lor.. frank.. I dont like Ferarri Design.. but the built quality is there la.. surrounding the keyboard like rubber... cover is Carbon Fiber..

@BuFung, i know la the quality is there, in fact the reason why i wanna buy it is because of built quality also...let's say i get the 2.0ghz version with X700 128mb, it's rm7999...but the Tecra M3 1.73 with GeForce 6200 64mb already rm7499, if want with 6600 128mb pulak the models all only combo drive, can't burn dvd and almost rm8k, plus if wanna upgrade to dvd burner warranty will void...if compare specs Acer Ferrari win la, but portability goes to Toshiba.

@nck.. portability 5502 win.. hahahaha....
DVD burner.. got ah...
x700 also wat..
hehehe...

No la.. 5502 for poor people like me.. hehehe..

Hahah, BuFung, now only wanna promote your 5502 ah? Last time got 1 guy here wondering whether wanna buy 5502 or u didn't recommend, hehehe! Told u b4 i don't like wide screen laptop mah...

@nck.. ya hor.. ok ok ok... no 5502... hahhaha..

Another thing i'd wanna know about the Acer Ferrari is their laptop speaker also...since u said ur 5502 speakers very cacat, hopefully not the same with Acer Ferrari la

Hey guys wanna ask u something.. M40 rite.. u guys try open a mp3 song... then u open ur msn... then when u nudge..or being nudged .. the speaker suddenly got louder compared to the initial volume as in the mp3 will be LOUDER without adjusting your volume.. do u guys have this prob??

@nck.. I see the speaker Lubang is the same.. so dont expect much from Ferarri.. maybe can ask those Sifu in Ferrari thread..

external la..

Hahah, BuFung, i think when i'm gonna go buy laptop we should meet up lar, u can help me test it "kao kao",

@nck.. oi meh... tel u a secret.. I order my 5502 without testing it ah.. because I bought direct from distributor... hehhe... but I do try out 5502 in shop lah..

Um, actually so long u tested before its ok. cuz when they send u it cans till be faulty one.. so long u happy with the build and the layout as well as the other physical aspects of it, then no problem. i also didnt get to really try out my M40. just read loads of reviews. But i did see the screen and hear the sound of the older m30's and tot, wa the old version alsoso good the new one should be better.

@BuFung, u buy direct from distributor can get cheaper ah? Do u know if they got sell Acer Ferrari?

So Dexeaur, is the M40 screen better than M30?

@nck.. u wan me to get for u... tak mau la.. because I donno how to do those 3 years warranty things for u...

and properbly only can earn RM40-RM50 from u.. tak mau la..

covered my little sister with transparent plastic 2 avoid itchy hands
game tried so far ....far cry with high & very high setting,nfsu with high setting & doom 3 demo

hi, guys, i have a Toshiba A80 P440, which i think is quite good!

who say the harmon/kardon speaker bad? i think Toshiba's speaker quite good wat? have you test the SRS virtual sound? it sounds great!

actually, i buy this notebook under my expectation...i actually expect for high-end specs...like 128MB of GC, 1G of RAM and 80GB of harddisk.....

what specs you all have?

i am thinking of upgrading my notebook...dunno can or not...
don't satisfy with the RAM, only support DDR1!!! not DDR2!!! this is very unworthy since it use i915PM chipset!!!

and about the ATI X300 64MB, do you think is it enough for high-end 3d rendering? it's SLOW!! not really suit with the proc 1.73...i think the proc can cope with more high-end gc...i am going to ask them, can they upgrade that to X700 128mb or not...

hm...about the HD, it's quite nice!! if you use Everest to check out, it's a Toshiba Harddisk with 16MB of buffer!! i call the toll-free to ask for buying the same toshiba harddisk which is 80GB, they told me that they have to order it from Japan!! and it will cost me 1000++!!!!!

oh ya, they say this 16MB harddisk is so call Class A harddisk!!!! but, i have only 40GB!!

overall, i could say Toshiba Satellite A80 P440 is a good model and a good lappie, which is quite perfect.....^.^

Toshiba RULEZ!!!

CooKies37, nobody said the Harman/Kardon speakers on ALL Toshiba laptops are bad, it's just certain models which had dissapointing quality.

BuFung, we continue our Acer talk in the Acer Ferrari thread la...

which distributor?
mind telling me?

@8431, how much u selling the laptops on your siggy?

Sadly, my m40s Harman/Kardon seems cannot satisfy me..
The sound simply break if i open max volume...and yet it is not loud enough!!!

Yea, been hearing about M40 and M50 having speaker probs...

Anyone have any idea how good is the sound quality of Tecra and Protege series???

played BF2 on a toshiba m50...customize setting....hummm it seems whenever i pressed WSAD...on vehicle or on foot...it will go automically then when i stops it stops late imagine a hummer crossing a bridge where accidently cruise straight to a river funny & strange....

updated patch already...
mouse setting default...

what can go wrong?

This post has been edited by tsg: Sep 11 2005, 07:09 AM

Maybe it's the game's problem, not the machine?? Not too sure though...

it seems after repatch BF2 patch problem settled

Ahh...problem solved then, good for u...tsg, i wonder if i'll ever be able to get near your post count la...

Hmm, recently sum one pm me about their speaker sound getting louder and softer after being nudged while running mp3s. wonder if anyone else get that problems. so far when i watched one movie ( a bug's life) it had a problem of getting abit softer after 10 minutes of play...not like lot softer but bit d=softer...would go back up after a while. think its something to do with running it at maximum volume. also i think it could be the toshiba's SRS Xt thing. not so much the speakers...will go back and retry without the SRS to confirm...thing is though, without the SRS movies sound really soft.

Hi guysssss, i have been using my Toshiba Satellite 2410(forgot , maybe is this model) for almost 2 year, since my diploma intake until my U-life now.



This model has been my good companion....i used it for entertainment purposes(movie,AV,mp3...xxxWeb), also for education purposes(assignment)....

She is considered my mistress already hehe, i bought serveral 'jewelry' to her. Like maxtor 3.5' 80Gig harddisk , TDK external CDRW, Bluetooth Doggle, SD card, A4tech mouse, HP printer.

She talk quite soft(ori speaker) so i connect her to my 1600w Mini-compo.....she can sing Linkin park songs now.....

My father urge me to change laptop because according to him, the spec is already out dated. For me, She is still beautiful and working perfectyly. She is even more pretty than latest Toshiba Model(Mx) or DELL , Compaq and IBM~

I think i will keep sayang her until end of my life(copying movie script...kakaka)
FACT: I will use until i graduate.

r u writing Autograph of A Laptop?

Hahaha, xxxWeb eh? So honest... No wonder u call it a good companion!

Wish i had a father that would urge me to change my laptop...so good...

hmm... seems like no one talks about my M200 model. So here i go...

Tablet PC M200. one word : "SUPERB". ... why?

Durability : 8 / 10. Turn the screen back forward, up down and still the same as the day I bought it. Solid
Speed : medium to fast depending on what application you are using. Drawing and painting is simple.
Battery life : 3 - 4 hours.
Service : very good experience as anything happens, fix in 1 day (or few hours)
Most impressive : Screen hits 1400x1050 on a 12 inch LCD. (Any 12" laptop can hit that high with a single view (without dragging screen up down left right)?...correct me if I'm wrong la)
Game : already very happy enough that i can play NFSU2 & Half Life 2 on it. Superb graphic shown on such a small card.

Well, of course we have some down side. A bit heavy 1.9KG when hold more then 1/2 hour. Screen brightness is not strong enough due to screen protector but still can see well. Overheat sometime when you run heavy application such as Video render. But easily fix by putting processor to a lower speed.

Anyway, to be honest, after using it for 1 1/2 years... i wouldn't trade it with any other tablet pc. Fujitsu or IBM X41 tablet. One word to summaries... Awesome!

Wow...cool...cannot comment much since i've never used tablet PC before...

Help!! i'm planning to get a NEW toshiba notebook.. guys, who know SABAH, toshiba authorized dealer???

Go check from teledynamics la...www.teledynamics.com.my

one of the forumer sells tecra rm4500 only leh, check in garage sales--> pda

Yeah, the Tecra S2 one of the forumers here letting go at a very attractive price...but then again maybe cuptainj looking for other model, or maybe because he's from Sabah??? that's why wanna find dealers from there....?

how boleh jadi? that cheap mer? url ler?

here u go...Tecra S2

thanks for advice... i wonder how's TOSHIBA gaming performance?
I'm would like 3D RTS games like , Warcraft 3.. SIM2..
let's compare Geforce go 6600 64mb with ATI radeon x600 256mb..
HAVE a NICE DAYS..

Hmmm...a 64MB graphics against a x600 capable of going up to 256mb? a bit unfair don't u think?

well, the x600 256MB on the toshiba M50 is a Turbocache/SE version.. where the vram is discrete 128MB+128MB from main system memory.
so.. not much difference lo... hahahaha

mobility x600 is equivalent to 9600xt desktop ver
where as Go6600 is equivalent to mobility x700

from notebookreviews


iianm, bigger vram is usually more advantageous when u runiing the game in higher resolution.. but how high can resolution the normal laptop/notebook LCD can handle? limitations

cheers. just my spamcents. lol

This post has been edited by 8431: Sep 19 2005, 02:29 PM

Woah...very informative, thanks 8431!!!

i can post my 3d mark scores if you want
my geforce 6600 is the 128mb version but i did benchmark my sister's one which is the 64mb version and her one just came out 200 point lower than mine for 1024 x 768 for 3dmark 03
my score is bout but when i push it to 330/660 goes around 6000+ (drivers are the new 80 from laptop2go)

but my sister's one <stock> is around 4900.
also have to make sure drivers are the same to properly compare

So the difference between a 128mb and a 64mb isn't too much?

That would be me. Product SOLD at RM4200...
More to come but not so soon... be prepared.

Wah...good price man...if got anymore remember to post here and inform us ya!

Sure will... Special for TOSHIBA CLUB... hehehe...

@keropok, hahaha... . If can get Tecra M3 for cheap remember to tell me ya!

Oh yeah, when u put [WTF] girlfriend, does it mean "want to f***"? heheheeh just joking!

OOOOOh yeah... that's what i want!!! hehehe...

Ex-Toshiba 2140/2450 User here... Refer to my sig "successful trader list" sold to another forumer, it is a great P4 machine I ever used... IBM and Toshiba are famous brand in US... It rocks man!!!

Hmmm... Looks like this thread got some Acer user here ... BTW is great to have different types of Notebook brand in this forum...

I LOVE TOSHIBA QOSMIO G25... BUT THE PRICE



This post has been edited by kawasaki_kips: Sep 20 2005, 11:33 PM

Toshiba A40 (personal) and A50 (office) user here too.

Qosmio Oh Qosmio... u shall be mine one day...

Qosmio laptops really looks good, that's for sure...

Having actually touch and feel TOSHIBA QOSMIO G25, i think this model can easy get dirty with fingerprints and light scratches...

one simple question

I used to own a Satellite (AMD processor) 7 years ago and a Portege (PIII) about 5 years ago.
Switched to MAc 2 years ago though...
In those good old days, both my Toshibas were betul betul MADE in JAPAN.

How about today? I heard only high end models (QISMO maybe) made in Japan? Rest made where?

thanks!

ooopss...forgot

Toshiba notebooks- very durable and lasting



expensive also leh...heheheh

This post has been edited by nando: Sep 21 2005, 09:51 AM

I think most of the high end Toshiba laptops such as Tecra, Protege and Qosmio are still made in Japan...not too sure about the Satellite series though...but then again, maybe they've moved and been manufacturing their laptops in countries such as China...just like Samsung laptops, did u guys know ALL Samsung laptops that the whole world is using are manufactured in Tianjin, China now????

not surprising...

do you know Apple's product- the macho macho and sleeky powerbook, imac, blah blah
all made in Taiwan?

that is why i wonder if Toshiba is still making their notebooks in Japan...

As far as i know, only Fujitsu laptops are still all made in Japan...

Would anybody here be interested on TOSHIBA ORIGINAL BACKPACK???


Specially made for TOSHIBA by DICOTA (Lifetime Warranty)...

price berapa???

How much u planning to sell the bag?

Just PM me your desired price...

NOTE: Mine is Toshiba embroidered but also made/warrantied(Lifetime) by Dicota...

how is the new toshiba a80-p431 spec u feel good kah?

R u all experiencing short battery life for Toshi lappies?
For my case, a light usage on it (from 100%) will just last me for less than 2 hours! Oh MY!
My settings are : CPU - Level 6, Screen - Level 4, Battery - Optimized, Screen & HDD - Never

Is this ridiculous? 2 hours just for light jobs like surfing and bitcomet! No gaming n playing mp3s!!!

hmm...maybe ur expectation is a bit higher. u might try to hook up the laptop with desktop speaker with woofer. it will far better than the build in speaker.

hows the A40 and A50? satisfy?

anyhow, i like your avantar
