Positive points about your laptop: I still remember when I opened the door and saw my dad carrying a big black leather bag, the words 'Toshiba' inscribed on it.I still remember how I jumped and snatch the bag from his hand.I immediately opened the bag and found a gorgeous black shining piece device with again the same words on it.I opened it and was mesmerised by the gorgeous looks that it had.A black and a silver piece with a white keyboard,with well placed keys,just the required 1's on a laptop.I switched on the laptop and there started windows 'Vista' to load.I was pretty impressed that it was quick to load(than XP).The screen looked excellent,sharp and crisp.The brightness was just perfect and vista enhanced the stunningly supreme looks that it had(not an exaggeration).I immediately went to 'control panel/system' and saw a base score of 3.5 given by Microsoft.I knew at that time that the performance would be extreme.
Conf;
Intel core dual processor T7300 2.0 Ghz with 4mb cache.
Mobile intelGM 965 motherboard.
2 GB DDR2 SD RAM
120 GB SATA 5400rpm HDD.
A modem,fast Ethernet(10/100/1000),VGA,PCMCI,microphone,stereo phone slot.
Vista business (for dad, although he never uses it)SP1.
Mammoth 4 hours of battery life(external).
DVD Writer(8x)
Bluetooth, Wireless 3945 a/b/g.
39.2 cm TFT(1280*800).
Finger print detection.
The performance of the laptop is great.Its really fast and works very good in multiple applications environment.
I played games on this like NFS, CS. All worked really fine(still,best place to play games is a Desktop).
I have yet not encountered any crash downs(unlike XP) and that’s 1 thing good about vista I feel.
The speakers are good when indoors(laptops are not for multimedia purpose).
The Look and Feel of using the laptop is great.The built is powerful.Strong and study.There are no useless buttons on the front side like the multimedia buttons. Just a power button.Simplicity always wins.
There is hardly any noise.There is toshiba’s internal disc silencer provided.The touch pad is good,though its frustrating when screen keeps getting minimised.
The best thing about the laptop is the inbuilt Toshiba’s DVD Moviefactory and the CD/DVD Disc creater.Its extremely simple& eliminates need of NERO or other’s completely.

Drawback;
• The size is a lot bulky. Luckily,I never had the need to take it out (nor would my mom allow),otherwise my shoulders would be in shatters.(size matters)
• It gets heated up very fast.
• No Media center.
All-in-all great except size.
