I'm planning to buy the Toshiba satelite R10. Can you please advice me on how to get the best price for this tablet. Does anyone know how much is it to upgrade the battery to a 9 or 12 cell one and how much does an extra one cost? Another thing I would like to know is how much would it be to add on a graphic card. I would like a graphic card that would allow me to play most games smoothly with AA and AF.

I went to Toshibas's showroom in Shah Alam and I have some advice for those who wish to buy Toshiba laptops. First, make an appointment with a salesman its very easy, just phone them up and tell them when you are coming. they will give you the contact number of the salesman. phone the salesman and tell him what model you want to check out and what specifically you want to see. I'm telling you this because when I went there the salesman was completely blank and didn't know how to demonstrate what I wanted to see.

About the CSV screens, I think they suck. The viewing angles are bad, just little out and the picture looks funny. The colours and contrast aren't any better than the normal screens. worst still, the screen is too glossy, it look like a mirror. The reflection makes it very hard to see what's on the screen. I prefer my R1O's matte screen, it's much better

last of all, wait for the pc fair, the prices are much better. I was lucky the manager gave me the PC fair price. RM 600 discount, double ram plus 2 years international warranty. the salesperson also said that I can get PC fair price even if I go to Toshiba Shah Alam during the PC fair

I don't know where you can trade-in your laptop, but I do know that Toshiba's current promotion is great. Cheek it out at www.teledynamics.com

How to I recalibrate a toshiba laptop battery? I am using the R10.

where else can I buy Toshiba notebook batteries other than from teledynamics?

I love teledynamics. Their service is top class. Went to get my new speakers installed today. At the guardhouse, i was required to give them some form of ID and they would give me a visitor pass. They accepted my student ID. The second time when i went in, i gave my IC but they asked me if i have another ID like driver's license cause tey told me giving IC not safe. Wow.

The technician did my speaker installation in two hours. Mines the R10, suppose to be complicated to dismantle bla bla. Anyway the staff at the service centre all very knowledgeable one. Common terms all no prob for them. Only super techinical stuff they need to call the technician. Polite and friendly.

Then i went to browse for a new lappy. They salesgirl also very polite and nice. And also din try to be too clever. I asked her a very technical question. So she know she dunno, so tell me i need to speak to the technical stuff. Not like other place, they bla bla nonsense to you or fumble through the manual infront of you.

toshiba and tele dynamics offers u top class service ... but it also depends on parts availability ... if got no parts they will order it for u from singapore but its going to take some time ...

its great to hear another toshiba user getting excellent service ...

Yeah. My R10 speakers were not available. So they had to order it. But nvm la. As long as they are serious in doing it.

I just got Toshiba L40 without OS and now I realized I can't use XP right away. Read up a little and found out I need to slip stream the SATA drivers. However, I am not sure exactly which drives I need to slip stream as there is none in toshiba's website and I am not sure what chipset this model is using. Can anyone help me out?

Anyone had their keyboard replaced at the Toshiba Service Centre in Shah Alam before?

Sometimes, teledynamics, the distributor of Toshiba laptops in Malaysia will put their promotion adds in the papers. You can visit teledynamics and download the advert which display the prices of some of their laptops.

Some reseller are authorized to give extended warranty for laptops provided they have been authorized to do so by teledynamics. Do check with them whether they extended warranty is given by their shop or by teledynamics.

During promotions, normally it will apply for all authorized resellers. So whether you buy it from teledynamics showroom, pc fair or a shop, you should be entitled to the same promotion advertised in the newspapers. However, it is not true for all resellers. It depends what agreement they have with teledynamics.

It's either your notebook fan has busted or there is alot of dust in your computer restricting airflow. Take it back to the service center and ask them to clean it for you.

Anyone using Portege M800 or M900?

I'm thinking about buying of them but I need some opinions before deciding.
