Toshiba outs Portege T110, T130 Ultraportables

Problem with Toshiba laptops is their battery sucks. I got a 2 year old toshiba, bought at P60k. Wala pang 2 years, I had to replace the battery na.

But performance wise, sulit. Matibay din. Mabilis lng mag init, must have been exhaust problem daw.

Wow, the keys on its keyboard looks awfully arranged. :/

more emails.

Ganda naman nito! Yung grafix card ba ng mga ito at video card have no problem editing movies. Kailan kaya maging efficient ang mga laptops to match the movie editing of the MAC?

herbert, you should have posted the whole study rather than bad-mouthing the company you are working for.

Here’s an excerpt from Yahoo’s Tech News:

SquareTrade has more detailed information (the full PDF of the company’s study is available here) on the research on its website. But here are some highlights about how, why, and which laptops fail:

> 20.4 percent of failures are due to hardware malfunctions. 10.6 percent are due to drops, spills, or other accidental damage.

> Netbooks have a roughly 20 percent higher failure rate due to hardware malfunctions than standard laptops. The more you pay for your laptop, the less likely it is to fail in general (maybe because you’re more careful with it?).

> The most reliable companies? A shocker: Toshiba and Asus, both with below a 16 percent failure rate due to hardware malfunction.

> The least reliable brands? Acer, Gateway, and HP. HP’s hardware malfunction rate, the worst in SquareTrade’s analysis, is a whopping 25.6 percent.

I’m planning to buy a Toshiba Satellite T115. Which is better, this Portege T110 or the Satellite T115? They look the same kasi pati specs.

I just bought a toshiba protege T110 slim last Dec 7, 2009. Main problem with this model are the small speakers and built in camera. Sound is too weak even at maximum volume. You will need an external speaker to listen to music or video (or hearing aid). The video camera output is really below my expectations compared to my other laptops. You need to switch the camera setting to night mode for you to see (a dim) image of yourself. In normal mode you will be surprised to see a dark shadowy image of yourself. I attemped to return my new toshiba T110 to the supplier but I was surprised to see other T110 having the same problem. The dealer, Silicon Valley, said my Toshiba has no defect since other units have the same manifestatio. Hahaha! So if you are a frequent music lover or video camera geek, then BEWARE, I suggest you carefully test the Protoge T110 speakers and camera before you make a purchase.

@John: we have almost the same problem! i am currently torn between a toshiba portege T110 and an acer timeline 3810.

but i saw a recent review here on the acer timeline 1810 (which is not available here…yet?) and i think THAT’S what i’ll be getting.

who wants to buy portege t110 brandnew complete set.. just txt me if u want ok 090555*****

Hi!

For those who own T110, how does it fare on youtube? Is it laggy or normal? And how about movies? Please answer I am planning on buying one this weekend already. I am in dire need of a new laptop! My Compaq conked out on me only after a year and a half of use!
