Strengths: Awesome Display Light weight power adapter
Weaknesses: Laptop and power adapter get very hot!
Summary: I paid USD700 plus taxes for this laptop. Seems to be a good laptop for the money. Laptop is not as light weight as I expected. Display resolution is awesome. Integrated webcam is certainly a plus!

Strengths: Design, portable, affordable
Weaknesses: It could be better if it comes with Core 2 Duo
Summary: I am very impressed by its design. It is more beautiful than any other Toshiba laptops I have seen so far. The screen is crystal clear. Although it is not as expensive as 12" Toshiba laptops, it delivers the same portability. It is so easy to upgrade the memory sticks to make it like a $1000 laptop.

Strengths: nice price with configs and features, slim design, light weight.
Weaknesses: Hot on the panel and battery life is low.
Summary: It is nice and light, at only 4.6 pounds.. The processor seems quite fast; Vista takes some getting used to but is pretty user-friendly from what I've experienced; built-in wireless capability seems to be working great. I dont like Toshiba installs too many trial-version software, overall, it is a solid laptop and rugged enough for my travels.

Strengths: lots of features including wireless/1394/card reader/camera/mic etc The build looks fine, better than average toshiba.
Weaknesses: poor keyboard - almost feels like you are typing on a calculator
Summary: As an entry level portable, this laptop gets its job done pretty well. All components are well selected for the market position of this machine. You don't get top-of-the-line hardware, which would be too expensive; but still you get everything (the memory maybe a little shy for vista, I upgraded to 2GB, but 1GB is OK) you will need for all your jobs. Pentium dual core, 160GB hard drive, DVD burner, just name a few. The only thing I want to complain is the flimsy keyboard, which has almost no response especially if you got used to those on thinkpad. The screen is sharp, and colorful if you look from the front, but if you just change a small angle, the color changes a lot - not a big problem for me, but this may annoy some other people.

Strengths: screen is bright, webcam produce very good video steaming
Weaknesses: keyboard is disappointing. a little bulky, no bluetooth
Summary: I believe this is probably the lightest laptop I have. I am pretty satisfied with its features. It has 1gb memory and 160GB hard drive, more than enough for daily use. the screen is sharp and webcam is excellent. However, I don't like its keyboard, which feels cheap as compared with IBM T and X serials. And no bluetooth.
