    Hello all,

    Looking for a new laptop and found this one in Harvey Normans today. Seems like a decent price for a decent spec but I am no expert esp when it comes to processor etc. Let me know what you think of the below please;

    15.6" screen
    Intel Pentium T4500 2.2Ghz
    320 Gb HD
    3 Gb RAM
    128 Mb dedicated graphics card
    Windows 7

    Price = €559 inclusive of VAT

    I use it for work, the usual MS Office apps, streaming on the internet, watching DVDs and video.

    Thanks, L91.

    Never mind the processor etc.
    What version of Windows 7, and what graphics card?

    Graphics is crap, don't expect to do any CAD or Gaming.
    Otherwise its good, Toshiba build decent notebooks.

    Yeah, the most basic specs are fine for web stuff. The best thing about Toshibas is that they don't fall apart, I've a battered old Satellite from 2005 thats never required the slightest attempt at maintenance.
