    Got my new Toshiba Notebook today

    Too bad I won't have time to play with it until I get back. Will have to just leave it in the box so I am not tempted.

                      This is going to become my primary computer so when I leave town for conventions or vacation I will be able to have all my data with me all the time.

                      Even got LoJack for it.

                        Did it overheat?

                        I gave mine to my dad. I used it every day though and had to get something replaced because it overheated. Only happened once and I never used it as much after so I don't know if it would have done it again.

                          I had the overheating issue with a Fujitsu first generation P4 3.0. Beautiful display on it though. It weighed 10 lbs and could fry eggs. Went through 3 hard drives before it became a paper weight.

                          Got the Toshiba Satellite A105 now. Great notebook... fast with a beautiful screen. Only complaint is the fingerprint reader is a bit touchy.

                            Cool. I loved my Toshiba Notebook. With the exception of the heating issue, it was tops. I'm sure baddog will enjoy his.

                                Touchy in that it won't let you in, or it lets anyone in?

                                How did you get around that issue?

                                  Touchy as in it won't let me using the reader. It worked for the initial set up though. It will say I attempted to swipe my finger either too fast or too slow. I haven't had a chance to check the settings to see if there's a way to adjust the sensitivity of it.

                                  There's a password override, which is what I use for access. You'll be prompted to create it when you do your initial set it up. Let me know if you have the same issues as me with the reader

                                            why would you need 2 gigs of ram on a laptop? unless you are doing some photo or video editing or some other apps requiring ton of ram, difference between 1 and 2 gigs is pretty much unnoticeable....

                                                        trust me, every time I walk past it I am tempted, but I need to finish packing the bike first. Then I need to shower and eat.

                                                        If there is time after I will at least open the box . . . maybe start uploading the LoJack and security suite.

The same problem happened to it over and over again and Toshiba would fix but not replace. Then the one year warranty expired and they refused to fix the problem anymore.

The same problem happened to it over and over again and Toshiba would fix but not replace. Then the one year warranty expired and they refused to fix the problem anymore.
                                                                            What was the problem?
