hey, am lookign for a new laptop and am divided between the Toshiba A300-1Bz and the Toshiba L300-13S, either one will be an upgrade on my old Acer travelmate 4050LCi. I really just want it for watching dvds/online tv and listening to music at uni and doing work. No gaming or anything like that. Which will be better – does any1 know. I know technically the A300 will be due to it costing £100 more but is this the one that is most value for money? does any1 know anything about the L300-13S??
We have written a guide on the l300-13 s http://www.gadgetsandgizmos.org/toshiba-l300-13s-laptop-review-with-specification/
The basic differences is that the 1bz has a bigger hard drive (250gb), a slightly quicker processor and has quick launch buttons. It also has a piano black finish.
The l300 13 s is still a pretty good machine, especially for the money
Hey i am getting a deal for a Dell and a Toshiba. The Dell is a Inspiron 1525 and has intel core 2duo t8100 2.1ghz and 320gb, 4gb ram 15'4 integrated graphics but i am confused as to that one or the toshiba A300-1BZ. They are for around £550 so i do not know which 1 2 get as i have herd that Vista only uses 3gb ram and 4gb is unneccessary… Please can some one help. Thanks Dee
hey every one! am new hera and just wanted to say what a wondeful job you have all being doing,you have being really helpful nwy i was checking this laptop toshiba A300-1EG and there was no specs whether or not it had the fingerprint function and am really in love with it, pls can someone help me confirm. Thanks for ur help
DEE:
I run vista on my laptop (with 2gb of ram) with no problems at all. 3 GB is great for multi tasking but as with anything the more the better. 4 GB may not be nessasary now but you may need it in the future.
Zayyad:
There is not a finger print reader on this toshiba but in our experience this should not put you off. A good strong password will keep all but the most determined person out of your files (unless you are a secret agent
)

i’ve just bought a toshiba satellite a300-1j1 off a friend and she’s deleted the hard drive E: and because of this i can’t get back to the preinstalled settings…
i’ve got in touch with toshiba and they said that if i can get someone with the exact same toshiba satellite a300-1j1 laptop that they can’t make a recovery disc for me…so can someone PLEASE help me out and make a copy for me and send it to my email address
wow great points, so glad bout it not heating up like that, I'm usually on computer a long time so there's a really important thing when I buy my first laptop
I'm getting 1 for my 18th which is in December so bit of a while but I'd like an idea of what I'm looking for.
I don't know much about laptops myself so not really sure what to expect.
I know the only makes i don't want to go for is Dell and Acer.
If any1 thinks of any more advantages and disadvantages then please let me know.

can anyone fill me in on this please as i need to know before i buy it ?
Thank you

I have had the A300-1bz for two and abit years now being one of the first people to actually buy one!
The machine is rock solid never misses a beat and it is used, abused and worked very hard, other laptops such as e-machines, Fujitsu’s, Packard Bell’s, samsungs and even a toshiba p200, just haven’t been able to take the heat
However after 2 years of hard labour my A300 is starting to show signs of its demise, the battery life is now practically non existent, some of the plastics have become brittle and broken. An alarming noise keeps emanating from the HDD and moving the laptop causes a rattle, and the machine is now starting the slow decline into death, even my samsung n310 netbook is faster to start now!
But overall this machine has been a solid work horse and has never let me down and would recommend a toshiba to anyone!
Today i got my A300-1bz back from the hospital, the hard drive had back sectors on it and needed to be replace sadly i also lost all data on it but now it seems back to normal running perfectly a great lap top almost bullet proof
I got this laptop 2 years ago, at first it was great, but now it's sadly starting to be quite worn. I do use it for a minimum of 8 hours a day though. The main issue I'm having is severe overheating. A screw has also come out at some point and the bottom right corner is now a bit loose! The disc drive doen't seem to want to close properly anymore either. And finally the silver finish on the buttons under the touchpad has now come off from frequents use.
The good points, it loads up very fast, brilliant for gaming, lots of memory. I've never had a problem with the glossy finish myself, i prefer it to my old matt one. I give it a quick wipe once a week with a cloth and all is sorted.
Maybe mine is so worn because of the extensive use it gets, my last laptop also ended up in a similar condition before it got destroyed by a bowl of noodles.
