I purchased a laptop recently and both Toshiba and IBM came highly recommended. I ended up getting a Toshiba Satellite M40... similar specs to yours with a couple of extras like bluetooth, wired ethernet, 802.11a/b/g wifi, and a multi-drive including dual layer and DVD-RAM capability.

The bloody thing is already popping up system errors at startup.

Sony Vaio maybe.

My first laptop was an toshiba satellite and that served me very well for a long time. Looks like a masonry block now though.

Also true. I'm told the Pentium M addresses this issue.

Not bad, I got a similar config for $700.

I would recommend getting a 7200rpm HD, you'll notice the difference.

I heard the manufacturer is/was way behind thats why 7200rpm isnt/wasnt available. Either way this 6000 rocks. Centrino is the only way to go right now

When it comes to laptops there really is only 1 choice, IBM t series thinkpads. If you are in need of a serious laptop thats your choice. And if your interested in 1 let me know i get wicked discounts at ibm.com being a former employee. I thin they have a t42 special for $1099

Hi,

I have a toshiba as well, and it rocks.

P4 3.2
1048 mb ram
15.4 inch widescreen
80 gb 7200
dvdrw
RADEON 64MB
54 wifi

I LOVE the widescreen. Keep in mind that P4, and widescreen make the batterly life shorter. I think I can use it around 2-3 hours without power. But I use it mainly at home/hotels anyway.

When you really want to use it without extra power, go for centrino

Questions?

At the very least, do NOT get a P4. Get a Pentium-M or Centrino (=Pentium-M with built in Wifi)

Wifi = Wireless Lan. Even if you don't have WLAN at home, you might want to use it in a hotel, airport, somewhere, sometime

Pentium-M means longer battery life (about 2-4 X longer, not just a little longer), less heat (much easier to keep the notebook on your legs for an hour or two), and virtually NO noise (better for your nerves, remember you sit very close to a notebook)

You can do video encoding on a Pentium-M. A Pentium-M 1.6 equals P4 2.4 or better. Don't be fooled by the low Ghz number, it's a whole different CPU

If you are concerned about speed, get a 7200 rpm drive in your notebook.

I was wondering about that, my new laptop is a 1.73GHz Pentium-M CPU. That number looks kinda low when you're thinking of current desktops or servers, but I figured they wouldn't be moving backwards.

Is there a comparison table anywhere?

It's not too bad for the price you pay.

The Inspiron 6000 is built well too, it looks stylish and it's solid (no keyboard creaking like most laptops).

Do not buy a toshiba! I got one 3 months ago, the hard drive and DVD drive just went it took 5 weeks to get it back from support. When I got it back the new DVD drive had a broken door. Now it has to go back again. It is the worst computer I've ever purchased! Don't do it! Go Dell or HP!

Centrino is the only way to go, there is no comparison with an antique, loud, hot, slow pentium 4, do not let the low numbers fool you. Go to the Dell outlet if I were you. I got mine with the 3 year next day in home service

I have a toshiba m35 , centrino @ 1.5GHz , 15.4" (I love wide screen), 512MB and 60GB hdd, it's simply badass.
sharp display, loud speakers for a laptop (harman kardon), also it's thiner than any hp, sony, acer, dell etc for the same money.
now I would get more memory and a better hdd (4400 rpm sucks).
