Toshiba Satellite L500-126

I will later extend this further review with pictures and more information, and difference between the performance and L500-126 and L500-128 I got this laptop 2ehands purchased through a user marketplace and is a month old. I will mainly use it for schoolwork and games. I do a multimedia training and consists mainly use photoshop, indesign, illustrator and flash. My roommate has the Toshiba L500-128 and I saw the L500-126 for sale without specifications. My first thought was that he would outperform the 128. Probably just a little less This is not the case, the only difference between the two is that the laptops 126 is equipped with a much better video card for the rest, they are completely identical. the 126 has a Radeon while the HD4650 128 on a 4570 available. the difference is simply: 320 pipelines versus 80 for the 128 128bits memorybus compared to 64 for the 128 If you say anything that might tell you something 3dmark than scores. , the L500-126 has the following: 12644 3dmark 05 3dmark 06, 6281 while the L500-128 has the following scores : 7062 3dmark 05 3dmark 06 3433 (source: www.notebookcheck.nl ) I practice this means that I Modern Warfare ('ll just adjust later the exact resolution 1300x something) with all other settings at Call of Duty 4 at its highest resolution highest and 4x AA in the entire game does not get less than 30fps. The average is around 35/40. This is the first game I've played on here. This weekend I'm going to the above game installed on the laptop of my roommate who L500-128, and I will state here how many fps this laptop medium gets. In some stores, the 126 still cheaper than the 128, so keep in mind that you buy 126 plays regularly as a reasonable game. What I also found very interesting was how much heat my laptop would produce. I have measured several little tool during a game CoD4 an hour. The highest recorded temperature was 58graden for the GPU and the CPU 56. key word here in the upper left a lot warmer than normally but personally I did not really disturbing. The bottom was always not uncomfortably hot. Now we have got here, I just have to get used, still on the keyboard my previous laptop was a Dell Inspiron 1300, since I've been working on this year that I am habituated layout. Partly because the 126 and 128 have a separate number pad on the right this is the location of the toutchpad left of center, and your hands are generally a lot further to the left. Also, the keys are a lot different if the Dell , the buttons do not feel as solid on, it has a bit of a plastic feel high (which it obviously is) but the dell buttons feel stronger and tastier. The actual attack does not feel good and I often find that I am not good enough to impress some keys. Also, you do not feel that you have fully depressed the button, it's a little gamble whether you have pressed them deep enough. Personally, I find the Dell a lot better typing and gives a lot more sense. People who use their disaster patience literally disaster patience are likely to be fewer problems. Among the key of course is the toutchpad, this is for once not sunk into the laptop, but looks a bit like a sticker that is glued on top. It looks kind of funny but very functional, I do not think it is because it has happened to me several times that I do with my hand on a piece of the glide path by accident and as a result I just a few lines up while typing this review 'm from another sentence typing. Another drawback is the battery performance. I do not have exact times this measured but my first impression is that it is made ​​than my old Dell Inspiron 1300. Much worse this is a new battery definitely 2.5uur (150minuten) with it, it will not be with the Toshiba pick. The laptop came with a completely idiotic version of Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed with a lot of rubbish which I am wondering whether there is anyone in this world is waiting for. Through the website of Toshiba I have this converting them to a Windows 7 Home Premium version. This costs 30 euros. Currently I turn to other (legal) version of Windows 7 Home Premium. There were one driver bluetooth after no driver problems. The driver I need to download and install separately. The sound comes from two tiny speakers on the left and right of the keyboard down. The sound they produce is not really to write home about. It sounds too sheet / shrill and high and low fog bass. Something you see coming back. Among many laptops that no subwoofer often have built A final point of criticism is the huge adapter that you get near, it is for some strange reason a lot bigger and heavier than the 128model. It is with great cows letters: BE CAREFUL! MAY BECOME HOT. This will probably be required because much warmer than a few degrees, I have not yet feels him. Negative points that I mention here one should not take it too seriously since I only have positive things to mention. for the remainder of this laptop I'm all for it satisfied considering the ridiculously low price I've paid for 2ehands
