does anyone know about or own a Toshiba Satellite Pro L100 or can give me advice on laptops?

Question

I currently own a dell latitude cpi A366xt and to be honest I HATE it! I have had nothing but problems I am interested in a few other laptops Toshiba Satellite Pro L100, Acer Travelmate 2428WXMi, Fujitsu Siemens AMilo Pro V2030 and the HP NX6325.

I tried searching the web but no luck does anyone out there own any of these 4 laptops? if so can you tell me what you think.

I will never own a dell again and want to pick out of these 4 as they are the only ones www.student-laptops.co.uk (where I bought the dell reconditioned for £159.) that are available in my price range.

Any advice will be of great use. Any PC wizards or companys want to fix my dell and update it then let me know lol.

Answer 1

I have had 2 toshibas (sat pro's) and both over £1000 and were as equally bad as each other and toshiba have a known problem with the AC outlet going faulty........

I was given a compaq same spec as the above ones by the insurance and have had no problems whatsoever, we bought one of the cheaper ones from pc world for my daughter an Advent for under £400 and i must say for her its been fantasic if you just want to browse the net and do some homework on it...

Answer 2

I recently bought a new laptop and it's a beaut! I went through similar choices as you but eventually settled on an ASUS. Asus are lesser known hardware producers for many of the other companies such as Toshiba and Sony. No battery problems, excellent value, mine has 1 gig RAM and 80 gig hard drive, and a two year international warranty comes as standard! (Asus is the only company to offer this). The RAM can also be upgraded to 2gig. Go for it. Buy it new from a reputable dealer and you're away. As far as I know, you can't upgrade a Dell.

Answer 3

It is always a dodgy business buying used IT equipment. You would be much better off in the long run saving a bit more and getting a new one.

Always go to a reputable computer shop for advice.
