rtryb2200 03-04-2008, 08:38 PM Anyone have one....I have been looking for a notebook for quite a while, I have quite a few gift cards for best buy and really only want a cheap one for email, the web, and possibly tuning. How have Toshiba's been recently...anyone have one? Cosby 03-05-2008, 11:33 AM I'm interested too. I need something small, reliable and durable. rtryb2200 03-05-2008, 08:23 PM ad ends Saturday...I checked it out today. It is sort of bulky, but I wouldn't really expect anything real fancy for 450 Animal 03-05-2008, 10:45 PM I have a Macbook, 2 Intel 80486 @ 2.00GHz, 2GB RAM. Quick little machine. My work computer's a latitude d530, again dual 2ghz/2gb RAM. The video/soundcard drivers are shit, but it's not bad for what I do at work. It'll slow down to shit when I watch h.264-encoded videos (DVD rips) and try to work on it... but it'll play MP3s, run LabVIEW, a few Firefox windows, outlook, Pidgin, and the usual office apps simultaneously pretty well. The Mac does feel faster with ordinary use though. Animal 03-06-2008, 08:07 PM Correction, my work laptop's a D630. 91lx 03-12-2008, 03:21 PM Ive had a Toshiba 14.1" T2050 512mb w/ XP. It worked pretty well. Paid $500 for it over a year ago. I sold it and bought a Toshiba 15.4" T2080 w/ 1 gig for $450. Converted it from Vista to XP and it was pretty decent. Didn't really care for the larger screen so I sold it on EBay for around $550. Will probably buy another cheap one to take on vacation this summer. |
