"It has been a workhorse for me!"
Pros: I like its 15.4" 1440x1050 non glossy screen and its nvidia video card with 32 mb of dedicated memory. The 2.0 intel Pentium 4 processor is good for the average use I give to this machine at my office and for my academic stuff. Good sound and wifi.
Cons: It has only two usb ports and they are 1.0 so they are very slow. There is no firewire port and no bluetooth.
Summary: After five years and after that the motherboard and battery were replaced by warranty service during the very first year, the machine is still working very well for me. During these five years I have replaced the 60GB hard drive for a WD 160 GB 5400 rpm and replaced the dvd rom. Now with 1GB of memory and its brand new HDD, this machine works nicely and neat with Ubuntu 8.04 and under wine smoothly runs MS Word 2003 and BibleWorks 6.0.
This is why I give four stars to this machine. Five and a half years of service is what I have squeeze so far from this machine. I hope that this machine might provice me at least three more years of service with Ubuntu. It is still capable of running WinXp SP2 although it came with Win2K. This is why now I got another Toshiba (P305-S8832).
I still use, yes five years later, this machine for regular office and academic work and also for listening music and watching DVD movies. Did I said you that this machine has served me five and a half years? Wow! this is why I really cannot complain about this machine. It is not a high end machine but it is faithful.
