Whats the best 'Toshiba' for me?

by nabeelimran Oct 13, 2005 10:01PM PDT

Hi Everyone!

I have modest kind of a Desktop with:

1. Celeron A 1.8GHz
2. 512 MB DDR SDRAM
3. 80GB Samsung 7200rpm
4. Nvidia GForce FX-5200
5. Sony CD-ROM
6. Sony DVD/CR-RW
7. 17" Dell Monitor

I am planning to buy a Toshiba and intend to use it for Home (mainly for Games & Movies with some Text Editing and some Movie Editing and Pictures),

Can anyone help me in deciding which Toshiba is the best for me?

Thankx,

Adios.

Prepare to spend...

In excess of $1500. Try the Toshiba Qosimo (sp?) line with dedicated graphics cards.

F25 and G25 are very strong notebooks.the cost of the f25 is around $1700.the G25 ranges from 2600 to 3000 grand.ive owned the G25 for a few months now and it has been flawless.it,s best to get hands on with these notebooks before you buy.they cost alot of money f,sure.
good luck

NONE!
I have a Tecra S1 that was purchased new in Sept 2003. It has since gone through 3 hard drives and a motherboard! Toshiba refuses to replace but will repair since I bought an extended warranty. In my opinion Toshiba have started to build crap!

sounds like you

sounds like you got a bad tecra.in the notebook world there are many makers of notebooks and there are bad apples in the bunch.I think this memeber is leaning more for a qosmio.
good luck with your tecra ltuplin. as fare as junk....take a look at the notebook ratings.toshiba gets a great rating for notebooks/customer care.ive been in your shoes with Sony,hp,and dell and i have felt your headackes.
