Toshiba Equium U400-124 (Refurbished) Reviews: Windows Vista Home Premium 13.3" Screen Laptop computer

+ its very light....and smooth

- the touch pad gets a little hot.

+ extremely light, great graphics and reasonably long battery life

- material used could have been better as it is glossy material including the keys, fingerprints and smudges are left all over the keypad

+ It looks nice and has been much admired by visitors. It is small and relatively light. It has a power saving option (less bright screen etc) so the battery lasts longer.

- I am not sure the battery is going to be wonderful but we'll see.

+ Versatile, light, nice size.

- Not many, I need my laptop on full power mode for presentations when running on battery, so it does cut down the battery life. If you run it on the power safe setting, the battery lasts much longer, but presentations are a bit sluggish. Best of full power and then it's fast, but you don't get as long for each charge.

+ Stylish and light

- 2 HR battery life. Not great but standard these days.

+ excellent, light, fast, sytlish laptop. Does everything well

- battery life could be better

+ Lovely looking

- A touch too sensitive

+ Light and portable, runs well.

- Very poor WIFI receptor, much worse than 17" Toshiba.

+ Compact design; Great specification for price; performance

- Shiny surfaces attract finger marks; shiny keyboard sometimes hard to see correct key due to reflections.

+ Build quality, battery life, value for money, processor speed.

- A computer can only be as good as its operating system - and while Vista mostly operates smoothly, the occasional hiccup can interrupt the experience.
Another thing, when the computer 'sleeps', it merely switches off the screen and logs you out...everything else remains running.

+ It looks state of the art and performance is great, size is good too

- None

+ LIGHT WEIGHT, CHEAP, COMPLETE SYSTEM WITH GOOD QUALITY WIRELESS AND BLUETOOTH, CAMRA AND MIKE RANGE EXCELLENT, ITS SIMPLY THE BEST MACHINE

- HEATUP AND GIVE KNOCKING OF HARD DISK

+ Everything

- lots of fingerprints
smallish keyboard but still useable

+ Great design works well and looks great. I love the touch paid multimedia keys and the Bluetooth and Web Cam are great

- The Battery life is not as good as I would of listed

+ Despite the 1.86GHz processor, and 533MHZ FSB the performance is amazing. I'm software developer and I am able to run multiple programs, virtual machines etc all in parallel. Toshiba have also added some impressive software and hardware of their own. Very good for work and play

- This would have been perfect with a backlit keyboard

+ Performance, size, weight and looks very sleek

- Battery life could be better

+ Design, size and weight is just perfect. Processor speed is good enough to run multiple applications at the same time. Web cam is also resonable and the touch media keys are an extra attractive feature. So overall its a good buy!

- The black gloss body gets the fingers prints so easily which sometime looks very prominent. And you could also be complaining about the battery life because its gives you 2 hrs appox. if its fully charged but I am using laptops for the last four years and I think 2 Hours of battery life is normal average, not too bad!

+ Easy to use, reliable, light weight. Widescreen. good quality graphics

- Lid/TFT screen does not have a catch to lock it securely when closed.Memory card slot does not take MS Pro duo cards.

+ good value

- takes a long to boot.

+ Design - love the glossy black finish and overall design of keyboard etc. Touch keys for media (play, pause etc) at top of keyboard and optional back-lighting are great. Excellent built-in web-cam. Size and weight are excellent - very portable laptop.

- Battery life not as long as would like, especially when all power-saving features are enabled. Some lag-time in responsiveness with touch-pad mouse. Speaker sound quality could be a bit better.

+ just has all i need. nice little work station.
