I work for a Fortune 100 company who's last round of notebooks were Toshibas. The experience was so universally unpleasant they were replaced within a year, vs. the usual refresh rate of three years.

And don't forget that Toshiba got an "F" from the BBB because of lousy customer service.

My fiance is a computer tech, and she says Toshiba's are garbage as well. I normally like their products, too, save HD-DVD.

There's a reason Toshiba is referred to as POShiba and it certainly isn't for the "quality" of their products.

Toshiba notebooks are the best hmmm about 5 years ago and now there junk.

sj001 · 10-25-2007, 05:13 PM

You know, Toshiba were some of the best notebooks around back in the early to mid nineties... but in the past decade or so, they have taken a slow but steady decline. Their quality and support are poor, I have many customers that have Toshiba notebooks, and have more problems with them than even the no-name ones.

You'd have better luck on a HD-DVD forum with this post. Lots of reassurances that you are buying the very best, etc...

I bought a red. (HP Pavilion HDX 20 inch notebook), but now, it's blu, as I bought BD drive to be installed internally. That is because I liked big screen and I got no choice, while my brand loyalty is to HP for computer. Dell was too expensive

You got a lot of choices besides toshiba. I'd recommend HP, dell. Toshiba, IMHO, is a crap.

Fry's had a nicely loaded Sony (200GB HD I think, 2GB RAM) with a BD burner for $1800.

I want a Sony, but the video cards Sony offers are pathetic. My current notebook is a toshiba, i had since 03 no problems with it. Are you guys being serious, or just because of the HDDVD drive on it? If i could build it without it i would. Just the price to what you get is amazing.

You get what you pay for (DUD is a perfect example)

Go with whatever you want and feel comfortable with, it's your money, alot of ppl hate dell also but that is what I have and I love it, best I've ever owned. But you are gonna be hard pressed to find anyone that will say anything good about it on these forums, mainly because it's Toshiba (HD-DVD Leader).
