But do you actively use it?

[Rattuskid]

Only when I burn CDs... or Mod Ra2... or want to access my old furry smut, which is almost never, rare, and less than rare; respectively.

[partyzanPaulZy]

I think I have also one similar (Celeron 333, 16MB GPU, 196MB RAM, 20GB HDD) XD

I got a kick out of this... went to Best Buy the other day and discovered Toshiba makes laptops... what a gag. The people who make the most last generation TV's make laptops now, he he... added to the polls...

[Beowulf]

Toshiba has produced laptops for quite a long time. That's nothing really new.

[Pasidon]

Really? Oh wow... what a drag fest. They must not be that great since I've never heard of one. PC's with crappy exteriors I assume... just like their TV's. Zing!

[Beowulf]

I actually own a Toshiba CRT television and there is absolutely nothing wrong with its design. I can watch TV on it and that's all that matters for me.

Also. My grandpa has a Toshiba laptop and it looks like any other one that's produced. Black, shiny, big screen, Vista, etc.

or want to access my old furry smut,

A joke.. or another one coming out of the closet?

[Beowulf]

It's been well established that was not a joke.

[Pasidon]

Yet again another furry conversation rages on. Nice segway... Segway...

Nothing wrong with a Toshiba design, but it's sort of bland and ignorant with their big logo (Which is their big meaningless name) smudged all over their stuff. Macs have had the apple on the back of their since 199(seven) and PCs have used the widely popular windows logo at times, but they just use fancy designs with the brand of PC somewhere on it out of sight these days. Now Toshiba...

Can we get a nice red 'swoosh' or something?

Does it have to have LED lights all over the goddamn thing? Jesus fucks, some of you are way too hung up on looks and not function.

For instance;
I have a crappy looking Dell notebook but it functions well so I don't give a shit.
I used to drive a beat up 1991 Ford Taurus that ran quite well.
My Toshiba television still works even after 10 years and their lifespan is a few years less than that.
My dad has a Compaq from 2000 with Windows 98SE that still runs, really well at that.

My point being that because something is ugly, or old, doesn't mean it's not still useful.

Though I have to ask something - what does something that looks good but is mediocre have over something that looks a bit used or worn but runs like a dream?

HP all the way.

Dell, apparently to my family, has horrible Customer Support; so I tend to exile Dells.

Most places have crappy support. I don't bother cause I can usually handle everything myself.
But I'd never actively buy a Dell cause I hate the shit they stuff on when you buy one. I only have the laptop cause it was a freebie from my school.

to tell you the truth I do have an old school toshiba satillite laptop and it is still functional I just havent been using it. (no not for school work or games) that would be funny however

Fuck HP, their support is terrible, and they issued a batch of faulty motherboards but will only claim some models under a one-off fix guarantee. The rest they acknowledge are screwed, but won't cover it

I have a DELL laptop that is EX-GOVERNMENT. It runs pretty good, but HP fails, especially their printers, mostly because mine will screw up every time that last minute assignment needs to be printed.

[Pasidon]

I'm surprised Alien ware hasn't been blurted out at this point yet.

[Rafv Nin IV]

HP is amazing, but only for their hand held calculators.

[Rattuskid]

Because they ARE Dells anymore.

I have an older IBM brick of a laptop but it's fast and nice and suits me just fine.

Also, I've been longer than some of you people have been online. I've been furry longer than some of you people have had erections.

Kiss my grimy rat ass.

[Bereneth Túrien]

Bet mine's older. Pentium MMX @ 150mHz, 32M RAM, 2G HDD, Windows 3.1.
Used regularly. Of course that's not the computer I use for gaming and internet, but since it still works well I still use it.
