sorry, I dont write good inglish and i dont kwon other way to contac you, so i will write here. I pay for the laptop and when the company tray to give me the pack I never be at home. Can you please make the travel again. Thank and sorry

nice!
I have this notebook, and people often comment about how big it is, but it doesn't bother me because I use it on my desk instead of a desktop, also it's portable so no big deal.I think it works pretty well, and the keyboard is big enough to let me type properly, unlike the tiny notebooks.
I hate this laptop & it's jumping cusor!!
I received this laptop as a graduation gift. I would have never chosen it on my own. First of all, it it too heavy and awkward to carry around. Secondly, even at its highest the volume is not very loud. The quality of the speakers leaves a lot to be desired - They have a very "tinney" sound - Definately not for multimedia use.Worst of all is the jumping cursor. It is impossible to type without the cursor jumping randomly around the page and inserting words within words. Disabling the touchpad helps - but then what is the sense of having a touchpad? About all this piece of junk is good for is playing solitaire.

very high price smaller configuration
not worthy purchasing it with that high price....we can get good configurations for that price with more features

Within a month, TONS of problems
To start with, I was thrilled to try this new computer out (got it at work, so thankfully i didn't spend a dime of my money on it). To begin with, the battery life is abysmal. It begins operating at 1/2 power within a half hour and then after about an hour of looking at the rapidly dimming screen, it's pretty much lights out. Lets just say, this can be frustrating when trying to finish a report or some other project on the road.

Th Good, The Bad, and The Ugly...
The good:
Really disapointed
I was really disapointed with this computer. 3 months after buying the notebook. My hard drive crashed and i had to spend like 200 dollars to get it fixed. Its also very bulky and compared to the modern age computers, it is also slow.

Product worth the price by 90%
Sony has all the good features with this model with high processor speed in its class and the 1 gb RAM with which you can do lot of high volume processing with applications. The Screen clarity is very good. Power backup is at the max 60 mins with the min resolution setting. Not recommended for the people on move, then you may need additional power backup and weight you need to carry back(8 lbs).

What happens after 6 months
I got this notebook last fall and was quite happy with it - for a reasonable price the configuration you get is much more better than the competitive laptops. I was thinking that this is a good deal that cannot be true - and I was right.
Cost-efficient solution
I bought this notebook a few months ago, and I have to say that I love it.I carry it back and forth to work regularly and she's holding up well.She's pretty speedy, except my iTunes sucks up a TON of memory which slows everything down.I think it's an issue with iTunes, not the laptop.
Not a laptop expert but quite a deal
This laptop was quite a good buy for its price. I liked the fact that I got an 80 GB hard drive and DL DVD burner and the overall price of the laptop was under[...](after rebate of course). It was also great to get Radeon Xpress 200M instead of the usual Intel Extreme Graphics on other laptops. There were some things I wished were better in this laptop. The standard 6 cell battery could only last a little under 2 hours, which made taking notes in class a tricky proposition unless I plugged it into an outlet. Also, for some strange reason, the iTunes that came pre-installed on the laptop failed to launch no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall (I don't think anyone else would have this problem).The laptop also could get hot quite quickly, but not a problem if you prop up the laptop.Overall, this was a great buy for me and I believe everyone would enjoy it ...

Can't find anything better than T23!
I was using ThinkPad T21 for six years, and was extremely satisfied with quality of that laptop (especially its keyboard, which worked like new after all those years). In Sep-2006 I started looking for a replacement laptop - but not because T21 died - and couldn't find anything better than T23. I hate touch pads (and all T-series models, starting with T30, come with both TrackPoint *and* touch pad), I need three mouse buttons, serial port and both CD-ROM and floppy disk. The best fit for my requirements came in the form of ThinkPad T23 (2647-N22). Mine has 40 GB hard drive (it boots in either Windows XP, or Red Hat Linux), and 1 Gigabyte of RAM, the maximum amount this model can be upgraded to. Would recommend T23 - and any other ThinkPad laptop in general - over anything HP/Compaq or Dell can offer!

happy with product
The first laptop we bought had a bad hard drive, however we called Amazon and you guys took care of the problem. The first computer that you sent us came with a removeable floppy drive, but the second computer you sent us did not. We called amazon and they credited us the amount for the floppy drive, and the shipping to ship the defective laptop back. Over all we all very pleased with amazon and our purchase. There were problems with our order but Amazon took care of it in a very professional manner.

It's a good machine
I recieved my computer and out the box is has performed excellently. I have no keyboard problems and am able to do all the things I did on my desktop and more since I'm now mobile. I highly reccommed this product to anyone who is looking for a desktop replacement. The screen view is high quality and every thing that is included makes it well worth the price.

It's true, keyboard issues
This is a fantastic machine, but the problem with the keyboard is a fact. The good news is that HP service was excellent, they picked up the machine in one day, turned it around in one day, and I got it back the following day. The bad news is that the second keyboard, while much better is still not acceptable.The further bad news was that I had to reinstall windows before they would replace the keyboard, to make sure it wasn't a driver issue...although this made sense to me at the time, I now realize they should have had this issue in their database, and should not have put me thru that exercise...on the other hand my wife also has a dv8000 series machine and that keyboard is perfect.

One big problem with an otherwise very nice computer

Forget Acer
Just walk away. I don't think Acer brand is ready for the USA. Someday, your going to need support, and Acer's technical support department is the next to worthless. So, my opinion is to shop elsewhere.

The Tecra 8200 is commendable in a number of ways. It's a better than average desktop-replacement or entertainment notebook that still manages to be quite portable. An 850 MHz Pentium III processor powers the system, and it's matched up with 128 MB RAM, a 20 GB hard disk drive, and an 8x DVD-ROM drive. The notebook's display is a 14.1-inch, active-matrix screen with 1,024 x 768 resolution. A 56K modem and 10/100 Mbps Ethernet networking are standard, too. The installed operating system is Windows 98, an OS that, while less robust than its cousin Windows 2000, can be easier to use and more forgiving if you plan to install a wide assortment of peripherals. ...

Military in Iraq--do not buy Satellite M45 15.4" Notebook--Display went out after 4 months
Purchased the Satellite M45 Dec 05 from AAFES on Military base in Kuwait. Now is Mar 06 and the backlight display has already gone out.called Toshiba customer service, had to ask for a supervisor to get a competent person.in order to get repaired, must 1] take to an "authorized service center" in the states or 2] they will send you a box you can ship it to them, but must pay $24 for the box. and they only partnered UPS. no UPS in Iraq and nearest repair shop in Kuwait,but not covered under "international warranty."
M45-S331 FREEZING/LOCK-UP problem is SOLVED.
The M45-S331 is a great notebook, I had it for a year now and I owned 5 other Toshiba notebooks. This model is one of the best.

Blending affordability with productivity power, the HP Pavilion dv5150us notebook PC is a great choice for both business road warriors and multimedia enthusiasts on the go. The 15.4-inch BrightView display looks good even in direct sunlight, and movies and games will look clear thanks to the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 video/graphics card (with 128 MB of shared memory). Enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process). Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included HP remote, then store it conveniently in the PC card slot.
