With so much choice out there, buying can be a difficult decision. I
have finally managed to short list the laptop models I am interested
in. All of these are Toshiba. Can someone recommend one over the other
or post their experiences ?
The config of the models are given below. Strangely enough, only
A45-S250 and M35-S320 are available in stores. If one needs to buy
M30-S350 or A40-S270, then it has to be through one of the online
vendors or directly from Toshiba
USAGE: Need for home usage- will create documents, create website,
access net and email... basically generic stuff. No gaming needs. Will
be rarely used for watching DVDs
CONFIG (All are 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, CD-RW)
A45-S250
P4-2.8 GHz, 4 USB, 7.7 lbs, XP-Home, (Video) Intel 852GME, L2- 512,
DDR-266 MHz
DVD-RW integrated
M35-S320
P4M-1.5 GHz, 3 USB, 6.2 lbs, XP-Home, (Video) NVIDIA GeForce 5200, L2-
1024, DDR-333 MHz
M30-S350
Pent-M- 1.5 GHz, 3 USB, 6.2 lbs, XP-Prof, (Video) NVIDIA GeForce 5200,

A40-S270

Thanks in advance
