This laptop I have chosen first because it can be used for all-round use, such as office, internet, dvd and gaming example. Toshiba puts the M40X thus a very neat laptop on the market, however it is a bit more expensive than comparable or better specifications of other brands. Inside the box , the M40X is pretty standard supplied in the box we find, among other things, the laptop , adapter, some manuals and some CD / DVD-ROMs, which include the following: - Additional software CD, DVD-RAM Driver, WinDVD etc. - Express Media Player Recovery CD - 2 DVD-ROMs with images, so this do not first have to create (for example reinstallation). could be useful if you prefer an operating system other than Windows XP Home on it. recent Appearance / housing The appearance of the M40X is kept very neat and tight, so that free business doing to like most Toshiba laptops. The keyboard is fairly deep in the laptop so typing will get used, even the layout is getting used to but it is inserted further into each well. Flashy The touchpad works fine and the buttons give a soft click and do not require too much power to pressed, allowing you servants. easily and quickly all Using the drivers for the touchpad, you can still share some special features to assign what is convenient. Furthermore there are built in the front speakers that support SRS TruSurroundXT, the speakers are very nice and sound very good. The disadvantage of the SRS (or software) is that it sounds bad when ordinary music, but movies etc. watch is very nice and expansive. On the right side of the laptop, the following things are: volume control, wifi on / off switch , headphone and microphone jack, 1 x USB, 1 x iLink, 6in1 card reader, and a CardBus. The USB port on the right side can be useful to use USB sticks etc. equipment. On the left is found only. DVD-RW drive Back then are still the DC-in, 2 x USB, D-Sub and TV-out connection. The casing is quite solid, and only on the right side of this a little bit in the press at the speaker in the neighborhood. Then the screen has an anti-glare like layer, which is very luxurious look and if you are good for is also looks nice deep black out too. Disadvantages of the screen is that the viewing angle is quite limited and the anti-glare layer can also be when you are wrong for is annoying. Colors are under a wrong angle quickly ugly. The screen has a 1280 × 800 resolution 16:10 aspect ratio which is also good in the screen sharpness. Standard Installation Standard M40X comes with a choice of installation options, you can choose from three images (each different language) for Windows XP Home installation, then it is also quite fast set up. By default, the system comes with a lot of Toshiba tools, some of which are very useful and others again unnecessary. One of the more useful programs is Toshiba's power saver. Here you can customize profiles for performance and battery use, itself you can of course choose the default profiles. The program can adjust the backlight, processor, cooling performance ed performance in normal work does the Pentium M740 1.73GHz up to his work, when less is needed can vary from 800Mhz to 1.73GHz making it easy a little longer to work on your battery when you're just surfing the web or working with office. There is 512MB of memory which is also sufficient to be able to run several applications at once, the less of this memory is that it does its work on 333Mhz and so can not match. Bus 533Mhz processor If you're only concerned with office etc. you can get about 3.5 hours with the laptop as they do not need a world-class performance. Achievements in games Besides the relatively fast Intel processor and amount of memory is in this laptop is also a dedicated video module This is verzien an Ati Radeon X600SE with 64MB memory. It is unfortunate that there is only 64MB of memory, since the GPU was fast for most games I play, but some extra memory is always good for the games that demand. On the laptop I have 2 types of games and this is an FPS game and an RTS game. UT2003 (FPS) is very good to play on the laptop with high settings and plays pretty good way even if you know the resolution of the screen continue to adjust the frames per sec. high enough to play on, and the experience is even more beautiful. Rise of Nations (RTS) is also applicable to 1280 × 800 resolution, after some adjustments, and it is very good to play on all high settings and has no delays in the game. This game is a fast video card is not really necessary but it does play finer, this game has to rely on the Pentium M740 and 512MB RAM. Additional hardware performance , the built-in Intel wifi module also works very nicely and is combined with SP2 very easy to set up. The reception is very good call and for security you can use WEP or WPA. The reader should, however, also works enough to do a fresh install first drivers to be installed. The DVD-RW player also supports DVD-RAM after installing a driver from Toshiba. With a piece of software, you can choose whether the player should go for performance or rest, the latter is obviously fine if you want to watch a DVD on the laptop or what music to listen to. 's hard drive that comes over is a Hitachi 60GB features, that is enough to install most software and what to put on other things. The advantage of this drive is that it comes standard at 5400RPM. This makes it so much faster than most standard 4200RPM laptop hard drives. The disc is a maximum at around 38 degrees after a while working out what it is acceptable. The battery is also considered acceptable, and keep it with normal work, so such a small full 3.5 hours. With gaming you can be about 2 to 2.5 hours working. Cooling On the right side there is an outlet for cooling which is pretty much hot air. Incidentally, this is nice when it's winter and you have a cold right hand. The Toshiba power saver fan can easily switch between gently rotate or full, the latter does this only when there is much performance is required. Furthermore, the Toshiba can also be cooled by adjusting the fan which also has to do less work. Speed on the processor Warranty and accessories default you get the laptop (after registering on the Toshiba site) 1 year Pickup and Return warranty. This can, however, according to Toshiba Support Extend still in the first year by buying a Toshiba Dealer. Extra at Of course they do want this to happen as soon as possible, but it's been nice that you have this option to extend warranty. Accessories not come in, so you will not find a laptop or a mouse in the box, because you can find the one unfortunate and the other will make no difference. If you play games, it is of course recommended that you have a decent mouse to buy. Furthermore, Toshiba itself also offers a wide choice of extras for the laptop through the dealers. Overall Rating The M40X-231 is a very nice and good laptop that offers sufficient performance in both normal work both gaming. It is actually the perfect compromise between budget laptops with onboard graphics and the more expensive laptops with graphic samples in it. It looks and build quality is generally very good and just, despite the sleek design that will not get bored quickly. Still, I'm a bit disappointed about the screen, but there is still room to live with, remembering that laptop screens always have smaller viewing angles. But for the price this laptop is available, it is a very nice option for most people who want the same as me.
