Review of Toshiba Tecra A7-117 - Core Duo T2300 1.66 GHz - 15.4" TFT by Mindie2 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages when it works it is fine
Disadvantages it can take hours to boot up

...I bought one of these little buggers refurbished from the Toshiba service centre. If you are thinking of doing the same don't do it! Now I have one I find that it is a common fault in the machine that one of the network components freezes the processor for reasons unknown, it will not come out of standby without a fight, it is a real pain in the @$$. I would hate to generalise that it is Toshiba, I am sure that there are reliable models out there but this is not one and support from Toshiba has been sadly lacking. Searching numerous forums on the web finds many other users with the same faults, a hardware problem maybe, not sure, I have lost interest and now have to leave the laptop on continuously so I am not reminded of the fight to restart it....

Thin, portable yet still fairly powerful laptop
Review of Toshiba Tecra A2 - Pentium M 735 1.7 GHz - 15" TFT by crazyforyou12 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Very good spec and good performance with LONG battery life
Disadvantages Only a 15" screen, very bad audio speakers

...This is a really good student laptop; it's very powerful (especially when you upgrade it like I did). It's got a Pentium M 735 processor which works speedily with 512 RAM and Centrino means that this has a long battery life. The wireless LAN is brilliant, it's just a shame that this laptop doesn't have infrared or bluetooth, which would make it a super relatively cheap laptop. I got this with student discount, which some universities provide with certain brands, so I got a good price for this. This didn't come with Office - it seems a bit of a hefty price for Office not to be included, but they did bundle in Sonic Record!, a fairly good CD burning software, and OneNote, and all the Toshiba products for notebooks, such as Wireless Diagnoser etc. The CD writer is very good, it's 24X, which is fairly fast for a notebook, and it...
