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.

What model?

what made you wanna go with toshiba?

SATELLITE R20

Little things . . .like being able to have 2GB of RAM as opposed to 1 with most of the others

Good choice. :thumbsup Got a Satellite A100 myself.. Upgraded the RAM too to 2GB :)

i owned one from the Satellite series before, they are pretty good :thumbsup

Congrats man! I have Toshiba too ;)

That is always a good thing. Next computer I get will have 2 GB.

I had to exchange my toshiba 3 fucking times.... Never again will I own one.

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.

Congrats Baddog :thumbsup

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

It has to beat the Dell I am using now :)

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 :)

This is my baby. Toshiba Qosmio G-20. Would recommend this to anyone that wants the power of a desktop but the convenience of a laptop.

Fucking Rocks! :thumbsup

Toshibas Rock!! :thumbsup

that is a HOT laptop. I'd hit it.

You are tempting me to open the box to at least see what it looks like . . . I must resist, I must resist.

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....

wow, there is no way I could leave that in the box =p

Cool, congrats on the lappy

I guess you missed it earlier . . . 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.

It is not "just a laptop."

Dude, this rocks man!
17" display, super bright, totally awesome!

Open the box man hehe

Exactly what I wanted and what I got ;)

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.

Stop it!!!

:jester

Open the box and take a few pics, let's see that bad boy!!!!

We shall see, charging camera batteries as we speak.

congrats to you :)

...nice!

congrats

Awesome, should be getting my dell soon

I have a Toshiba. Sadly it is just over a year old and in the bottom cupboard never to be used again. 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.

:error :error :error

What was the problem?

You can upgrade the ram on any laptop....

Most of the other big brands also offer laptops with 2GB ram as default (Dell, HP, Asus, LG, Acer, Samsung,etc...)

Congrats on the new buy tho, hope you have more luck than I had (my had some problems and sent back, now am trying to figth to get my money back...fucking joke)

looks pretty amazing - dont need that but it would be nice to have a laptop that renders vids

Multitasking...what good is it to have a dual-core cpu if you don't take proper advantage of it?

With "little" programs pilling up it does add up ;)

Maybe on laptops, but all the notebooks we looked at 1 GB was max

sweet :):)

Piece of Shit!
 

When are you going to learn that you are a piece of shit and no one gives a damn about your new laptop or you. Your a fucking scumbag loser.:321GFY

I know, except this one you can flip it over, write on it and save to a file. A true notepad.

When are you going to learn that no one cares what you think?

I have to admit I'm bitter when Toshiba dumped the option to have the little ball curson instead of the touch pad for mouse navigation. For some reason that was always my favorite way of navigating.

Woj, how can you say the difference in 1 or 2gb or RAM is unnoticeable? If you're running a few larger applications you can notice very easily. Not to mention that I wouldn't bother with Vista on 1gb.

I will plug my trackmaster into it

Congaratulations, i am happy with Sony. I think it is the best so far i had in my hands.
