Toshiba A100-451
User Reviews of the TOSHIBA A100-451 (4026203452664) PC Laptop
I bought this laptop because I thought it could provide me with very good performance because of the powerful cpu, the large amount of memory and the good graphic card. I was not particularly interested in extra features like webcam or bluetooth.
However, only after opening the box and doing benchmarks I discovered that the laptop comes with an nvidia Geforce 7600 with a bus width of 64bit (instead of usual 128bit for this graphic card). This information is not clearly advertised, neither by the manufacturer nor by the retailers, but, as a matter of fact, greatly affects the performance of the laptop. Benchmarks: 3DMark05=1800-2000; PCMark05=4250.
The build quality is not very good, as well. The laptop has a large fan hole on the base that is easily obstructed when the computer is kept on the lap (!). The plastic chassis looks cheap and the lcd cover panel bends to the slightest pressure. It lacks camera and bluetooth. I returned the product, with only partial refund.
