Toshiba Satellite A100-253 (Core Duo T2300, 1GB, 100GB, DVD + /-RW, 15.4 "TFT, WXP Home)

Update 13 May 2008
Laptop is still alive. Battery time erngstig deteriorated. Now you can be just an hour's work. Housing is still very, suffered only a few scratches. Update 6 Jun 2007 Great fun for the laptop. Mirror screen makes it difficult to work at the camp when the sun is shining, you must therefore sit inside it. Also you get when you close the monitor have had a while to print fabric keyboard on your screen. This you could fix it with a dust cloth. Turns out that several laptops toshiba-intrusive. That of my sister. Even with a screen cloth over it and it's gone. Featureset: I'm very satisfied with the features of the laptop. My plan was to buy around 1000, in which a core duo sat with minimal RAM and a 80GB hard drive 1Gigabyte, where the T2300 with 1gb 100gb and fulfills a laptop. I also think for a widescreen laptop much better than a 4:3 ratio because it is more a media laptop for me. It must be used anywhere, watch DVDs, on holiday, and because many icons and tasks in the task bar is too wide finer. I also think for a widescreen laptop also better, which is always personal. The resolution is okay, 1280x800 I can live with that, given the price of the laptop that's true. For higher resolutions, I usually had to move to a dell, but they were mostly above budget. Not one point why I have chosen but which is very fine, the built-in card reader. These laptop The biggest advantage is the xd support, which have not always get supported card readers. There is a DVD burner built in, not a must but it is convenient. There is room for two PCMCIA slots, four USB slots, two to the right of the burner and two at the back. There is also a firewire connection, but not with the four male and six male, but one that resembles one that goes into your camera. Big plus is the sound, there is supposedly hd audio in harman / kardon. For a laptop, it is clear sound, but never against the speaker. Achievements: What a duo core may be expected that there is some speed in it. The T2300 that is in the laptop runs at 1.66 GHz. As far as I've worked with are doing it completely on demand. I have some simple games rotated and kept fairly quiet. Heavier games like Fear and Quake 4 I have yet to try, but I'll tell you when I know. The memory runs at 533MHz, and have not had any problems that I was at my limit of memory, but I think I'm going to notice if I'm going to run. Heavier games There is an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 256MB HyperMemory, however, called the matter a little cheated, is 128mb and 128mb on the card may be nibble your memory. Until now I have the GPU to stand at 128mb because I think I needed more my memory. The hard drive 5400rpm seems a bit on the slow side, but this I have not actually noticed. The DVD drive I found remarkably slow. Copying some files from a cdrom lasted several minutes, after having just read he seems to be able to read the cdrom up to 24x speed that is different than your desktop, also makes some noise anyway. Benchmarks 3DMark05 score: 2468 Image Quality Across the resolution and aspect ratio, I have nothing to complain about, which is as it should be. Beautiful mirror screen TruBrite WXGA, it gives a better picture than XGA, but sometimes difficult to light. Brightness and contrast in my good order. A specified speed of 20/25 ms would Showy are to live, though I usually see little of this kind of speed, so I do this no statement. Build quality and robustness The laptop is very robust, rounding on all sides, solid pivots the screen and the speakers and touchpad are also Integrates tightly. The keyboard I find some rickety. I feel that if I push too hard on the toestjes I broke my hardware busy, but with this I have more laptops. I have no idea if he can take a beating, I'm pretty careful with my stuff and have not dropped it. Ergonomics I am less pleased about the ergonomics. I'm used to a real keyboard. In addition, the keys are not flat against each other. I also miss some keys, such as the sneltoesten and numpad. What irritates me most is the delete key, which is completely legal standing at the top of the keyboard. Also interesting is that one key is completely empty: the right of the left shift key. There appears to be. Under a \ I would have preferred a longer shift. The touchpad is very nice. Besides that you can turn off while playing games, otherwise your thumb then is there if you want to hit the spacebar it has many functions like click, minimize and reduce / enlarge. Heat and Noise In terms of heat, I am very satisfied, I 've so far had no problems with it. Sound is Flashy best, although this is heard but not bothersome. The writer, however, if it reads a CD. mobility and battery life or the laptop is mobile? I always think that a point to decide. The device weighs about 3 kg. As a schoolboy with a satchel of about 10kg find it no problem. You have to relativize. The screen is 15.4 "wide, not very large, and with a 3 cm height, I do not find that particularly rude, but to each his own choice, would you pay 400 euros more than it can be smaller and lighter. Much drawback I find the battery life, there is a 4000mA 6 cell battery with. This is good for about 2 hours working time, very little so. I am also planning to make a 12 cells when to buy, but that is 100 euros there again . the battery become exhausted mainly by the video card, an onboard was definitely pieces have been better, but now you have run all the games at the moment (based on the lowest settings). Whether the capacity of the battery remains, I have not idea. I discharge the battery every lunar least 1 times and the first time made ​​him completely empty and only then recharged, so that I would also do. price for a laptop of about 1000 euro this is a must. All you should keep in your mind is that you very soon will have to buy a new battery there will you keep your mobility. Toshiba we have had at home before and really liked. Dell also has great laptops, if you still have a lot of discount coupons are for Dell. eindreslutaat Overall I do not regret that I have chosen. these laptop My choice was between this laptop and a Dell Inspiron 6400, but 6400 was still more expensive, had no luck with discounts and went to the toshiba. For all activities except hard gaming, and many graphics programs requiring the laptop extremely well suited and definitely a winner in its price ranking.
