Toshiba Equium A210

Attractive ; Great screen ; Sturdy build quality ; Quick and powerful

Keyboard rattles a bit

A semi-portable machine that proved robust and excellent value for money

comfortable to use light weight and easy to use

over sensitive pointer pad

it is quick and i can have multiple programs open without it freezing or crashing.

battery life could be better

Fantastic large screen with good clear resolution, graphics card able to cope with high demand pc games. Good sound from inbuilt speakers. Done everything i have asked of it. Recomended

Since this is my first laptop i cant say for sure if the battery is bad or not as have no comparison. Just feel it could do better than the hour to hour and a half i get from it after a full charge.

Good Value

For me, Vista

Honestly, this is a perfect lap top for browsing and downloading and playing tracks. It works fine and haven't stalled since. I would say the speed is not bad at all.

If you're interested in gaming or watching films, dont bother!! It has a rubbish graphic card so when watching films, you can see the pixels. If you need some thing for gaming etc, I recommend to read reviews specifically for such purposes.

Great spec for the price - and it looks fabulous!

Battery life not great (but no worse than other laptops)

The design

RAM shared with video card so only 1.5gb effective rather than 2gb

good make& pedigree and has everything i require

poor battery life

sleak design, excellent memory, easy to work with, great performance

the garphics and sound system could be improved
