actually, my unit is the L25-S1216 variant of this excellent model [Posted on 2006-06-05]
After 4 months of use, here are some things I consider notable:
+ Clean exterior lines, glossy-black exterior with sharp-cut edges contrasting with simple, polished silver interior
+ No annoying, high pitched capacitor whine
+ hibernation/sleep/wake is flawless
+ sweat from your palm does not permanently stain the enamel finished palmrest
+ fan noise really low after April 2006 BIOS release update
+ included Microsoft OneNote 2003 is quite useful with great UI
+ LCD: LG Philips LPG6500 15" XGA TFT
+ HDD: Toshiba MK4026GAX 40GB 5400RPM with 16MB cache
+ Takes power efficient DDR2 4200 Memory (compared to DDR) (Hynix DDR2-533 1.8V 256MB preinstalled)
+ Optical Drive: TSST TS-L462C
- Noisy optical drive (unless you set the quiet drive utility manually, which always defaults into "noisy mode")
- Celeron Processor does not throttle down even when doing nothing
- Left palm area warm
- BATTERY LIFE (~1hr, 4 cell 29 Watt hour basic pack)
- no card reader or IEEE 1394
All in all, Toshiba really packs some high quality components into this nicely designed/built "budget" notebook. Also check out the Tecra L2-S011, based on the same chasis.
Simple Laptop [Posted on 2007-01-01]
This laptop is great for me. I have had it for over a year now and it works very well............. most of the time. It was a good value for the price. I am a graduate student and this is what I could afford but it has served me fairly well. I intend to keep it for another 2 years until I graduate.
Perfect for my Needs [Posted on 2007-09-26]
I am very pleased with this machine. I bought it for myself almost a year ago and still love it and use it daily. I have to spend 12 hours a day in bed hooked up to my own machines and did not have room to set up a desktop. With the limited space available to me on the hospital table, and limited funds, I needed a notebook. Everyone in my sister's office used one of these and told me they were very durable. And they were correct. I have accidentally pushed it off the table and had it crash three feet down to the floor. Not even a scratch, and the floors are wooden here and not carpeted.
Having limited mobility I was very pleased to see that it worked great right out of the box. And open as far as ascetics go, for use or closed it looks quite stylish, not that I found it an important factor. It boots up with a decent speed has three USB ports that I found most useful.
I almost always use it on the AC adapter, so the battery life is not important to me. But on the rare occasions that the outlet was needed and I went on battery; it was consumed very fast. It seemed almost immediately that it turned off, when in reality it was about an hour. So I hope one day to get an external battery donated for use with this laptop for those rare times I am able to be away from my bed or desktop and still want computer access. Like on a clear winter day when I may be able to be outside on the porch.
This small Toshiba performs all the functions I want. The WiFi allows me to gain access to the available wireless Internet connection provided here with no work at all. It is as if I have a hardwire connection. Of course I only use it for word processing, e-mail, and listening to conferences, lectures or music (mp3) that have been donated to me. I used the software that came loaded on the machine and they meet all my needs.
The touch pad works well. But I have much better access and easier use now that I have a wireless laser mouse attached to it. Which I was able to plug the receiver into one of t he USB and the mouse worked without any additional software. It is perfect for all my computer needs while stuck in the room in which I use it. One note: I do not play any games on it. So I do not know how it would work in that environment. But I bought it knowing that it would not be used for games.
If I had to buy a Notebook Computer today, I would be willing to buy this one again.
