Which Brand Is Most Reliable Asus Or Toshiba ?
In terms of durability, which brand is the most reliable? Which asus model is comparable to toshiba a665-s6056? (Preferably around the same price, $700-850)

Toshiba Qosmio X505-q887 Vs Asus G73jh-a2
Okay, so i've been looking for a nice laptop for sometime now to replace my desktop and also for work/gaming purposes and i've come to two laptops where i just can't make the decision!
The first one is the toshiba qosmio x505-q887. I'm in love with it because of its awesome design plus all of its specs. But it's only flaw is the geforce gts 360 video card which is also not considered bad but in comparison with the alternative laptop it is. The other reason why i'm leaning towards it is because it has some nice multimedia buttons so life would be easier and that's kind of important to me. And also i haven't heard or read any reviews at all about this laptop which makes me a bit reluctant. The other laptop is the asus g73jh-a2. Its got all the specs. You could want in a laptop, starting with the 1tb of space and the 8gb of memory and of course the wonderful radeon hd 5870 graphics card, its a perfect fit, however on the other hand i just don't like its design. I just get the feel that its too blank and the fact that it has no multimedia buttons whatsoever really annoys me!

Toshiba Qosmio X505-q887 Vs Asus G51jx-a1
Toshiba qosmio x505-q887 vs asus republic of gamers g51jx-a1 vs acer aspire as8943g-6190? So i have been searching and searching the market for about 3 weeks now for a decent laptop with a decent price. I've finally reached a conclusion of 3 laptops. But since i'll be paying 1500$ for a laptop i'm expecting it to work great with no bug/software/hardware issues. I know i'm being a bit naive there but c'mon, i'd deserve that spending all that money!
Now why don't we put these 3 laptops head to head and let the competition begin. When it comes to the processor the acer and the asus share common grounds with the i7 720qm but the qosmio advances a bit there with the i7 740qm. But with the rams on the other hand the qosmio and acer share the same 4gb while the asus advances with 6gb. Well i guess all those comparisons won't really make a difference in speed and power, so here comes the real comparisons:
Display: the asus has a 15. 6' (1920x1080) full hd led display and so does the acer but on a 18. 4' screen. However the qosmio has a 18. 4' (1680x945) full hd lcd display which is a real bummer especially because its weird resolution. But i guess the 18. 4's would be much better for watching movies and playing games. Hard drive: the 3 laptops have a 500gb hard drive at 7, 200 rpm except the acer which is only at 5, 400rpm. I really see that as a deal-breaker for acer since it would really slow me down alot! I wonder if i could customize it and get a 7200 one?
Gpu: and this really is a huge factor for me since i'm an extreme gamer plus i work with graphics. The asus and the qosmio share the geforce 360 gts which is a pretty decent graphics card but the acer advances a bit with the radeon hd 5850. Both the qosmio and the acer have blue-ray but the asus doesn't but that really isn't big issue for me. When it comes to the media buttons both the acer and qosmio have them, but i've read alot of reviews saying that the qosmio buttons on the left can get in the way and it's pretty annoying since it minimizes the screen. Its a flaw for the asus not to have any. So for the weight issue i really don't see that as a problem but it also wouldn't be bad to carry around a smaller laptop. Now for the major issues for each laptop, which i had to get from about 15 different review sites. The qosmio runs really hot and alot of people complain about the cooling error message where they would have to return it back to the manufacturer and replace the cpu, gpu or both. The acer has its wi-fi problems where almost every review told said that the wi-fi would disconnect every 10 minutes and thats just unacceptable. Though for the asus they reviews say that it also runs hot but its major issue is for the extremely low sound it offers. I could go on and on about all their specs and all their pros and cons, but i think you all got the big picture now. In desperate need of help! I really can't make my mind on any of these. I would really appreciate any advise or help.

Asus G73jh-a1 Or Toshiba Qosmio X505-q890?
Which is better? Pros and cons? I've been reading a few reviews and i've found out the asus has the better graphics card and it's really powerful. But i'm a nit picky guy in buying these things and i dislike the fact that it lacks small things like firewire and an express card slot. It's more powerful alright but the toshiba is more "complete" if i may say, making it more versatile. But i'm still undecided. Please give opinions. Oh and correct me if i'm wrong but the asus has 2 500gb hard drives? 1 tb?

Toshiba Laptop Will Not Turn On
My toshiba laptop will not turn on? It stopped working on friday morning, i fixed it using these tips:
1. Remove the battery from the laptop (unplug it from the ac prior to removing it)
2. Plug the ac back in (leaving the battery out)
3. Gently move the connector from the ac adapter that is in the laptop gently from side to side, and then in circles. Very gently and watch your lights on your laptop; see if they blink or show any sign of life. 1. Remove the battery from the laptop (unplug it from the ac prior to removing it)

Dell, Toshiba, Or Hp Laptop?
I'm in the market for a laptop (my first) to last me at least 5 years with no problems or need for repair. I'm interested in purchasing either a dell, toshiba, or an hp (originally i wanted a macbook, but i've heard that that's not the best choice for a biology major-the compatible software is not as good?), But i don't know which one is best. I'm willing to pay up to $1200 as long as it has the following specifications:
-Built-in webcam
-Long-lasting battery (at least 5 hours)
-Best processor (fast with good performance)
-4gb memory
-At least 16" screen
-It must be quiet
-Must last me at least 5 years
-Dvd/cd drive (no blu-ray necessary)
Also, i'm not a big gamer (i like sims and nancy drew games, but other than that i really am not big into computer games). Please let me know if this request is even possible or if i need to lower my expectations! But please help me figure out which laptop to purchase!

Samsung R580 Laptop
A few days ago i came across the "samsung np-r580-jsb1us" in consumer reports and cnet. Both websites showered the laptop with excellent reviews from editors and readers alike. Now here i am - at this very moment in time - absolutely dumbfounded at the fact that i cannot find the slightest hint of where to buy this exact model. It is only sold at best buy (and i have already looked there) both in-store and online. Can anyone, owner or not, provide me exact details on where to find this laptop.

Toshiba Laptop Keyboard Problem
I have a problem with my toshiba laptop keyboard. It starts typing z or / or by itself. Sometimes it is zzzzzz (tens of z) of !~! (Tens of ). For example if i try to type "hello" it will type as "hezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzlzzzzzzzzzlzzzo". Sometimes the up arrow or down arrow or page-down is pressed continuously. I have norton antivirus. I have run 10-20 antivirus, spyware and malware tools. They could not find anything. In a forum they said that this might be a keyboard hardware problem. Can you please let me know what should be done?

Toshiba Laptop Keys Not Working
A few of my keys have stopped working on the keyboard of my toshiba laptop after a dreaded water spill. When i spilled the water the laptop was off, and i immediately turned the laptop over and left it to dry. When i turned it back on, initially the a key didn't work and probably a lot of others but the a was the only key i noticed as my password has an a in it. A few days later when i turned it on the a key must have dried out more and it had started to work, allowing me to log on. However, it has been 5 days since i spilled the (small amount of) water on the keyboard and these keys do not work [q, x, win, fn, ctrl]
The x key works if i hold the key down for a long while, but the others do not seem to do this. Obviously the kb is not trashed as it still works for most keys and the a key started working again. Does anyone have any advice on how i can take apart and clean or make sure it is dry? Or what has caused the keys to not work after they are dry, i have taken a few caps off and the toshiba laptop looks pretty water proof (lots of rubber caps, and nothing looking rustable/corrosive-able) i could post pictures if needed or has anyone had experience with tosh keyboards who could help me. Replacing is a last resort as i priced up a new keyboard online at £50~. That doesn't seem worth it .

Toshiba Laptop M100 Problem
Toshiba laptop m100. I've opened a dos box while surfing the net etc. The dos box will show blank letters (in other words, if i typed >mememe at the dos prompt, spaces would quickly fill up over loading the buffer. Tried moving the ram from one slot to the other. Before, it wasn't spaces, it was l's and 3's (maybe more)
So, you see, moving the ram over "helped" but did not resolve the problem. Ps: i have checked for all manners of spyware etc. And the behavior continues. Yes, i do not mind wiping the laptop clean. But is it a software issue? It looks like a hardware issue. Pss: to change the ram from one slot to the other, i had to remove the keyboard and then replace it. I could not find any water or coca cola damage to the keyboard. Anything else worth trying?

Toshiba Laptop Not Go Past Welcome Screen
I was restarting my computer after an update for my itunes and i think that one of my family members accidentally turned it off (which might have caused the problem). Also, in safe mode, it says that windows installer is supposedly not properly installed. And when it does go past the welcome screen after i do a system restore, it is enormously slow.

Toshiba Laptop Battery Not Charging
Toshiba laptop battery not charging, but says its is and battery light is on? I have a toshiba satellite laptop a100 series. When plugged in with adaptor, laptop works fine. The battery light is on at the front (which i think means its charging it)
In the icons in the corner, when i hover over the battery indicator it says 1% available (plugged in, charging) but it never gets over 1%, and when i pull the charger out it instantly fails, so basically it's not charging at all, but its telling me it should be. Iv tried reinstalling the driver for the charger/battery, no change.got a bios thing off toshiba website, no change. Any suggestions on what's wrong and how to fix it?

Do Toshiba A500 Laptop Have Webcam ?
Do all toshiba a500 laptops have a webcam? I bought a toshiba a500 laptop yesterday at office works, and the one on display did have a webcam, but when i opened the box when i got him i was surprised to see there was no webcam, and it was funny cause the protective plastic that you take off when new was shaped to be covering a webcam, and yeah i don't know whether i got ripped off, or that this type of a500 doesn't have a webcam.

Sound Just Stopped Working On A Toshiba Laptop
I have a toshiba laptop (i don't know what model, just recently, the sound just stopped working. Just like that, one second i'm listening to a song and the next, i'm not. Nothing is muted (the speakers are on, the dial switch on the side is on high, and the volume is turned up in the taskbar), but i can't hear anything at all (no music, no system sounds, etc). For awhile, i could hear a ding when i adjusted the volume in the taskbar and sometimes i could hear the notes that played when i hit one of the toggle keys. But i don't hear anything now. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how to fix it? I heard i could just restore my computer (with the recovery cd), but there has to be some easier way (plus i don't want to lose all of my files and settings).

Ram Compatibility Problems With Toshiba Laptop
New ram problems with toshiba laptop will not work. ? I just bought new ram for my laptop. It is the same type of ram (2 gigabyte ddr2) same compatibility, same company, even from the same box. I put the ram inside the slot and now my laptop will not go past the toshiba boot screen. The laptop is running an intel pentium dual core, 2. 5g of ram (not counting the new 2g that im replacing the old 512mb with) with vista ultimate 32-bit. Any ideas? (Also i already tried going to just 3g of ram but still will not boot)

Toshiba Laptop Upgrade Ram Issue
Adding ram to a toshiba laptop did not change the total memory? I installed a 512mb (pc-4200) chip to the toshiba laptop, right next to another 512 chip. I made it past the boot screen without crashing so i thought i installed it correctly. I noticed that the start-up speed was cut in-half, and that the operation of the computer was considerably faster. However, when i opened up the task-manager the number read the same as before the chip was installed. (456, 744kb). Is it being utilized by the computer, or do i need to change something in the bios?

How To Dust Out Toshiba Satellite L300 Laptop ?
Would anyone know how to dust out a toshiba satelite l300 laptop? I have one of these, and when i play video games, i have this tremendous lag. I sent it back to the store to get a checkup and afterwards it worked fine. They said all they did was cleaned the keys and dusted it out. I would rather not send it away for 30 days to get it repaired again, so any suggestions?

Toshiba Satellite M30 Laptop Shuts Down
Toshiba satellite m30 laptop turns on for a second and shuts down! I have removed the hard drive and switched the ram around and even tried it without the ram. When i try to power up the laptop, the lights come on and there's an almighty racket from the fan (but the fan is free and spins) and then it shuts down! I have disconnected the fan but even then it will shut down as soon as it's powered up!

Restore Toshiba Laptop To Factory Settings
How do i restore my toshiba laptop to factory settings? I've pretty much tried everything, it didn't come with a recovery disk and when i restarted my computer and pressed whatever i pressed it only asked me to do memory diagnostics and to restore system settings with a restore point that i had to set that only set it to a recent point in time, which sucks. I got the computer in 08 and it runs windows vista if that helps any.

Toshiba Laptop Sd Multi Reader Card
How does an sd multireader card work on a toshiba laptop? I've accidentally deleted photos on my sony cyber-shot camera and purchased a $20 optex: digital memory card reader from walmart to retrieve my photos from my 2. 0 gb sd card. I'm not sure if i inserted my sd card correctly or if it even properly fits. When i do insert the usb into my laptop the "removable disk (:f)" drive appears, however it keeps asking me to insert a disk in(which i though i did). Can someone please help me figure out how to use my optex sd reader in order to retrieve my pictures back.
