The Basics
- Processor:
The 2.16 GHz Intel Pentium T3400 dual-core processor delivers
additional computing resources and help expand the PC's capabilities by
providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing. You'll be able
to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all
while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly. And its
Intel 64 architecture is also ready for tomorrow's 64-bit applications,
and offers enhanced performance through improved virtual memory. Each
core shares 2 MB of L2 cache, and they have a 667 MHz front-side bus.
(An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2
cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data
between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver
better overall performance.)
- Hard Drive:
The 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a
digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left
over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial
ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed
transfer of data--akin to Firewire and USB 2.0.
- Memory:
The 2 GB of installed RAM (PC2-6400, 1 x 2 GB, 2 x 1 GB) is a great
start. This notebook has a 4 GB maximum RAM capacity (2 x 2 GB). To
receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM,
any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and
clockspeed.
- DVD/CD Drive: The dual-layer
Labelflash DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats,
including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer
(DL) DVD±R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data--great for
backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It
features the following speeds: 6x for both DVD±R DL, 8x for both
single-layer DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, and 24x/16x for
CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.

interface support and enhanced 3D graphics performance--delivering over
2x scores on 3DMark 06. Intel Clear Video Technology provides

Customer Reviews
So Glad to Have This
I have this laptop for 2 weeks already and I am really glad because
this helps me in my work and study. This laptop look simple but the way
it functions is really fast. One of my students dropped this laptop
from my desk but lo and behold nothing happened. I had it checked just
to make sure but everything is perfect! Amazing! So durability wise its
so good. Its fast with the internet. Picks up wi-fi so fast. The webcam
is ok too. The picture resolution when I play dvd or from online is
very clear. The design is just right. The touch pad is amazingly
smooth. Its not sensitive but just right. Vista is good in this laptop.
Before I forget, this laptop doesn't get hot fast on my lap. Excellent!
It runs quiet too. All in all I don't have any problem with this.
Watch Out for Power Plug
Toshiba laptops have a big time power plug issue (internal power
jack pulls away from housing preventing plug insertion). Mine failed
within 4 months of use. It is a obvious design problem which Toshiba
continues to ignore. Type in Toshiba Laptop Problems in Yahoo search
engine. Its a problem that will NOT go away. Too bad...besides this
issue it's not a bad machine. Customer support is way bad!!!
Pretty nice laptop
This laptop is nice. It's a little heavier than I expected but I
guess the only way to get one that's not heavy is to buy a little tiny
one. One thing I don't like about this laptop is the battery only lasts
2 hrs or so. It didn't say anything about battery life on the
description when I bought it.
