Toshiba's laptops have gone to shit as far as reliability goes ... There's a reason why their prices have dropped through the floor ...

technology is cheaper and the big manufacturers are trying to get everyone technologically up-to-date?

Could that be it?

Maybe so (I haven't personally experienced that) but you can't get a no name for that price.

Without question. I do get what your saying. I just didn't want someone reading this and thinking if they went out and got this they would be moving quick. Vista Premium on 2gb and a celeron single core isn't going to move very quick.

I have about a dozen defective Toshiba laptops waiting to be sent back to Toshiba for RMA at my store, all returned in the last 30 days or so ...
At this point, I think I might rather buy no name ... But, really, I would spend a couple hundred more and get something worthwhile ...
